ABC News, among many other news organizations has investigated and no evidence of such cheering in Jersey City has been found.

“They were set up to film the World Trade Center attacks before the first plane hit”. If your generals come to you with a plan to bomb terrorist training camps, you may well agree to that; if one of them adds “in New Jersey” to the equation one would hope that a President Ben Carson would at least look up from his lunch.
Trump says the article proves he’s telling the truth.
Cohen also pointed to social media as backing up Trump, saying an immeasurable number of Trump’s “millions and millions of followers” on social media have said they recall seeing the same thing. Fact checkers and pundits from both sides of the aisle-including a writer for Breitbart-have also pushed back against these baseless claims. PolitiFact gave the statement a “Pants on Fire” rating, denoting extreme mendacity.
According to CNN News on November 24, during a rally in Columbus, Ohio, Trump told the crowd that his apartment was purposely created to face the Twin Towers.
In a statement, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop criticised Trump for his statements.
The GOP presidential candidate then admitted: “Hey, Bill, Bill, am I gonna check every statistic?”
“That is totally false. That is [barnyard epithet]”.
“I do not remember that, and so it’s not something that was part of my recollection”.
Carson went a step farther by distancing himself from his one-time business manager and adviser who had referred Clarridge to the Times, Armstrong Williams.
“I saw the film of it, yes”, Carson said in Nevada on Monday.
When asked where he received that information, he said: “From television”.
The agenda being trying to determine if Dr. Ben Carson, like Donald Trump, is an unhinged lunatic with little grasp on our own reality.
“Many people jumped and I witnessed it, I watched that”. “I may have to if he starts getting like really close”.
On Twitter, he notes a passage in a 2001 Washington Post article that makes reference to “tailgate-style parties” and people being detained because they were cheering. “So I think once again, Mr. Trump is missing the boat”.

Looking to diffuse negative attention to his campaign after The NY Times recently published an unflattering article about Carson’s foreign policy aptitude, Carson insisted that the foreign policy adviser quoted by the Times, Duane Clarridge, was not an adviser. He said he’d restore waterboarding “in a heartbeat” and approve “more than that”.
