Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is denying that he mocked a reporter with a rare musculoskeletal disorder at a campaign rally earlier this week.
Trump said in a statement today that he has "no idea who" the reporter is, making a strange comparison between pro athletes as a way of showing his alleged lack of knowledge about the reporter.
"I have no idea who this reporter, Serge Kovlaski, is, what he looks like or his level of intelligence," the statement reads. "I don't know if he is J.J. Watt or Muhammad Ali in his prime—or somebody of less athletic or physical ability."
Trump and Kovaleski have a history that stretches back to 1987 when Kovaleski was a reporter for NY Daily News. Kovaleski often wrote pieces critical of Trump and continued the trend while a reporter for the Times.
