The bittersweetness of Meryl Streep bringing up Trump's mocking of Serge Kovaleski's disability.

On one hand, it's good:

a) That it forces us to confront and keeps in the conversation, less than two weeks before his inauguration, that a President-elect once mercilessly mocked a man's disability because he disagreed with his reporting on an issue.

But also, sadly on the other hand:

They have a site, www.cpj.org, and a FB page. It's a practical, on-the-ground organization protecting journalists around he world so they can report on people like him. You know, despots.

person with disability, it is sickening, never acceptable, he has lived his life operating in this fashion. It has to be brought up over and over until Trump accepts the fact he DID mock the man's disability and show remorse. He is one of the most disrespectful people I have seen in my lifetime. He went on and on about the birther game, words but not with remorse, lies and more lies. Funny thing, he does not have the guts to say anything negative about Putin, WTH.
