Two days later, Trump tweeted a link to Kovaleski’s Post article from Sept. Trump made his claim about the celebrations during a speech in Alabama on Nov. During the Republican primary, Trump cited that story as evidence for his discredited claim that he saw on television “thousands and thousands” of people in New Jersey celebrate the terrorist attacks. Kovaleski co-authored a story for the Washington Post in 2001 that said “a number of people” in Jersey City, New Jersey, were “allegedly seen celebrating” the terrorist attacks on Sept. Streep and Trump were both referring to New York Times investigative journalist Serge Kovaleski, a disabled reporter who suffers from arthrogryposis, which primarily restricts joint movement in the limbs. "groveling" when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. For the 100th time, I never "mocked" a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him……. Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. Trump tweeted that he “never ‘mocked’ a disabled reporter” but did show him “groveling” as he “totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad.” Streep, who supported Hillary Clinton for president, said that “it kind of broke my heart” when she saw “that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter.” She did not mention Trump by name.

Trump’s tweet was in response to a speech given by actress Meryl Streep at the Golden Globe Awards on Jan. On Twitter, President-elect Donald Trump falsely wrote that a reporter “totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad.” As we have written before, the reporter never changed his story about the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
