were prostitutes -- >> he ought to be ashamed of himself. that's despicable, reprehensible, disgusting that a man that considers himself to be a member of the clergy would say about his colleagues. >> reporter: trump says the pastors that are choosing to endorse him are not doing so for monetary gains. >> no i haven't, zero. >> reporter: others aren't sold. >> we're deeply disturbed by his rhetoric, we're deeply disturbed by the lack of empathy he seems to show. >> reporter: trump's controversy with pastors isn't the only issue he's facing. the brash billionaire is refusing to back down from recent comments he made about muslims in new jersey -- >> as that building was coming down, thousands of people were cheering. >> reporter: trump references seen television reports of the celebration, something that has been widely refuted. >> he insists he saw that video in new jersey. no one can find it. people say that's because it doesn't exist.

around jersey city and talked to residents and officials for the broader story but i do not recall anyone saying they were thousands or even hundreds of people celebrating." trump accused the reporter of backing down from the story. he appeared to mock kovalev ski, who suffers from a chronic condition affecting his joints that limits motion in his arms. >> oh, i don't know what i said, i don't remember! >> reporter: trump later done need he was mocking him. >> i would never mock a person that has difficulty. i would never do that. >> reporter: he posted this statement to twitter saying, i merely mimicked what i thought would be a flustered reporter trying to get out of a statement he made long ago. if mr. cove koefl less ski is hand capped i wouldn't know, i don't know what he looked like. a former colleague says trump does know him. >> i have zero question he knew serge by his first name and that he was mocking him on that stage.
