Jewish disability advocate chides Trump

WASHINGTON (JTA) — A Jewish foundation that advocates for disability inclusion chided presidential candidate Donald Trump for mocking a disabled reporter. Jay Ruderman, president of the Boston-based Ruderman Family Foundation, offered to provide the Republican frontrunner with sensitivity training. “It is unacceptable for a child to mock another child’s disability on the playground, never mind a presidential candidate mocking someone’s disability as part of a national political discourse,” Ruderman said.
