Trump has cited other news reports that seemed to prove his claim that New Jersey Muslims were celebrating after the World Trade Center towers were struck.

Now, someone has found the TV news report that Trump probably was talking about.
We’re already used with presidential candidate Donald Trump’s interesting declarations, but there’s no doubt that one of the most controversial statements he made was the one regarding Muslims cheering on the streets of New Jersey, after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
Those people also had with them a model of the World Trade Center.
“They knew that the planes were going to hit, and they wanted a ring-side seat”, Guzmán said in the clip. But on Tuesday, MTV News republished the full news report that showed a young New Jersey resident saying she saw “13, maybe 14 at most” teenagers celebrating.
He slams Trump’s comments as patently false and says Trump’s rhetoric concerns him greatly, for a variety of reasons. Reached by phone Wednesday, the now-retired Guzman told ABC News his 9/11 news report came via Jersey City and Port Authority sources, all of whom told him it was “reports of at most a handful of people…mostly from the same building in Jersey City”. “But political scientists have long known that people who are turned off by politics don’t engage (in) the system”, said American University political scientist Jennifer Lawless, according to CNN.
A Donald Trump adviser is providing what he claims is proof the GOP presidential contender was correct in asserting he saw New Jersey Muslims celebrating the 9/11 terror attack – but CBS News reports the video stirs up problems with Trump’s story.
The video also included the comments of Curtis Silwa, the host of a show for WABC-FM in NY. Nevertheless, Trump looks to continue on with his approach with no plans to change anything that has put him in the “first position in every single poll”.
“We left 40 years ago the land of my county where I belonged to, Pakistan, and adopted this country”, he says.

“Let me break it down”, Guzman said. “I’ve had hundreds of people call in and tweet in on Twitter saying that they saw it and I was 100% right”, Trump said. No video depicting the celebrations has since emerged, but despite the lack of evidence, Trump has held onto his claim. She added that if Trump should win the election, he would need to address many issues that are important to the African-American community like jobs, crime, and education. “These were kids acting out because they had the time to”.
