When liberals mock the disabled

CONCLUDING QUOTES

Meryl Streep joined the chorus at the Golden Globe Awards last January, when, duringher speech, "Streep ripped Trump for his obvious mockery of a journalist's physical disability." Meryl was quite certain about Trump's intentions during a few seconds of his waving his hands around, yet she was clueless over Harvey Weinstein raping, groping, and harassing fellow actresses over a 30-year period? Really?

As shesaidabout Weinstein, "noteverybodyknew." Yet somehow everybody does know the meaning and intention behind Trump's every word and gesture. Magical thinking.

Fast-forward to this week, with another Trump gesture toward a disabled individual â€“ a person Trump knows well enough to know about his disability and its implications. This person is unable to do what most others, except perhaps Hillary Clinton, can do: navigate a few steps without assistance.

The disabled person in this situation was Senate leader Mitch McConnell, who had childhood polio, leaving himchallengedto bound up stairs. He needs railing for assistance. A CNN reporter, from the media mouthpiece of the left, arbiter of social justice and virtue, made fun of Trump's effort to assist a disabled individual.

CNN political reporter Daniella Diaz tweeted out asnarky commentabout the president and majority leader holding hands, having no idea that McConnell needed assistance climbing the steps after the joint Rose Garden press conference.
