Even if Ann Coulters feelings are hurt over his recent softening on immigration, she had no problem justifying the Republican presidential candidates mockery of reporter Serge Kovaleski, Jezebel reported.

Coulter, who has been backing Trump throughout his run for the GOP nomination, weighed in on Trumps denigrating remarks toward Kovaleski in her new book.

He doesnt jerk around or flail his arms. Hes not r*tarded. He sits calmly, but if you look at his wrists, youll see they are curved in, Coulter wrote. Thats not the imitation Trump was doinghe was doing a standard r*tard, waving his arms and sounding stupid: Ahhh, I dont know what I saidahhh, I dont remember! Hes going, Ahhh, I dont remember, maybe thats what I said!'

Kovaleski lives with arthrogryposis, which causes his joints to contract and his hand to rest at unusual angles. Trump made the remarks during a campaign rally last November to defend his claim that thousands of Muslims celebrated the 9/11 attacks.

The remark was quickly turned into fodder for campaign ads on behalf of his opponent, Hillary Clinton, including one that ran during the Democratic National Convention last month.

But Coulter dismissed the issue, calling the chapter in the book regarding Kovaleski, Disabled Reporter Joins Media Effort to Create More Disabled Americans.

The books publication has been sidetracked somewhat by Coulters angry reaction to Trump backing off of his anti-immigrant rhetoric more recently, which caused her to huff online that he was considering amnesty.
