Shortly before noon, McKaiser was in a positive mood and took to social media to express his admiration for Musa Motha, a South African amputee dancer who had recently showcased his talent on the popular UK television show, Britain’s Got Talent. McKaiser was deeply impressed by Motha’s performance, which involved dancing with crutches.
“STOP what you’re doing. Right now. You need to watch this. Wow. I … am speechless & ran out of tears.
