Trump Said American Muslims Cheered on 9/11. Now Ben Carson Weighs In

Many people who witnessed it are now denying it. It is a real-life, large-scale conspiracy.

There’s a growing consensus among Iowa’s conservatives that they must elect someone this time around who can get past the early states as Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum struggled to do.

Donald Trump won’t stop talking about 9/11.

US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump addresses the No Labels Problem Solver Convention in Manchester, New Hampshire, on October 12, 2015. You know what that means?

Reporter 1, November 23: Dr. Carson, were American Muslims in New Jersey cheering on 9/11 when the towers fell – did you hear about that or see that?

Trump’s latest foray into the fiction zone came on Saturday when he told a group of supporters that he watched as “thousands of people were cheering” in Jersey City, N.J., when the World Trade Center towers collapsed after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Many Republicans like New Jersey Governor Chris Christie have argued that the climate sparked by the Paris attacks would lead voters towards experienced politicians – not an untested commander in chief such as Trump. “I believe in apologizing, but you have to be wrong”. “They want to try and discredit as many people as possible so they can have an establishment candidate come in and think that everything is going to be the same because they are all controlled by the special interests and they are all controlled by the media and it is what the American people are just so exhausted of”. 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.

“Bill, I didn’t tweet – I re-tweeted somebody that was supposedly an expert and it was also a radio show”, Mr. Trump said.

“Maybe if you walk in my footsteps, you can see that I am not any less human than you are”.

“I start getting phone calls by the hundreds”, he claimed.

However, the article Trump pointed to as support of his claim only says “a number of people”-not thousands”.

STEVE FULOP: I think it’s shameful that he’s politicizing 9/11. Ted Cruz is Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s new challenger in the key primary election state, beating out former neurosurgeon Ben Carson for the first time. “I have a view – a view in my apartment that was specifically aimed at the World Trade Center”, he told a rally in Ohio.
