US Muslims celebrated 9/11 attacks – Trump, Carson
No television footage of that day’s tragedy supports Trump’s outrageous statement.

“Stephanopoulos: “… with your own eyes?”
Trump then doubled-down on the claim during a Sunday appearance on ABC’s This Week in an interview with George Stephanopoulos. News outlets were quick to say, “it’s not so, it never happened”.
The fact is that New Jersey and NY news organizations tried to track down rumors and unverified reports of celebrations in New Jersey cities and turned up little or nothing.
Cuomo and Cohen did not discuss Trump’s claim on Monday that he was able to see people jumping from the World Trade Centers from his home more than 4 miles uptown. I know it might not be politically correct for you to talk about it, but there were people cheering as that building came down – as those buildings came down.
This invented anecdote tells you plenty about Trump and nothing about anyone else. “It was well covered at the time”. “But he doesn’t know what he is talking about, and he is not a serious leader”.
Q: Dr. Carson, were American Muslims in New Jersey cheering on 9/11 when the towers fell = did you hear about that or see that?
I mean. What. The.
“I really am convinced we’re in danger of the sort of terrorist attacks that will make the [1993] bombing of the Trade Center look like kids playing with firecrackers”, Trump reportedly wrote in 2000.
A wide swath of media fact-checkers reject that claim as completely unfounded, but Trump all but declared victory on the subject while speaking in Columbus, Ohio. “The Iowa Republican Caucus has become a two-tiered contest: Businessman Donald Trump and neurosurgeon Ben Carson lead on the outsider track, and Sens. I misspoke.” Could Stephanopoulos have spent the next five minutes making the same point about the police? “The importance of Pennsylvania to the presidential campaign is clear and Donald Trump addressing Pennsylvania Republicans puts us in the middle of the national stage”.
Scholars of fascists like Benito Mussolini in Italy and Adolf Hitler in Germany (none of Trump’s conservative critics have compared him to either man) say, however, that Trump does display some of the key characteristics of a fascist.
Cruz’s Iowa team said one of the reasons why Cruz is starting to catch on is that he doesn’t just appeal to evangelicals, but also to libertarians, moderate Republicans, and even some Democrats.
