Trump on Muslim Cheers in New Jersey on 9/11: ‘It Did Happen
Donald Trump provoked a fresh backlash on Sunday after repeating claims that thousands of American Muslims publicly celebrated the 9/11 attacks on New York’s World Trade Centre, an assertion the authorities have long dismissed as false.
Asked on ABC’s “This Week” whether he would consider a third-party run if GOP opponents try “to take you out”, Trump said, “I will see what happens”.
However, despite Trump’s “data” the Federal Bureau of Investigation says otherwise. They were cheering as the World Trade Centre came down.
“I agree that there’s no such thing as political correctness when you’re fighting an enemy who wants to destroy you and everything that you have anything to do with”, Carson said. “And that tells you something”, he said. It was well covered at the time, George.
And Trump said he would bring back waterboarding, an interrogation tactic that he said “is peanuts compared to what they’re doing to us”. It’s home to the second-largest Muslim population in the US, after MI, and is tied with IL for having the second-most mosques, with 109 as of 2011, And that lead to a secret surveillance program launched by the NY City Police Department afterf 9/11 to monitor mosques and Muslim communities in the NY and Jersey City area, says The New Jersey.
“Donald Trump chose to come through a 75 percent black city and campaign when he’s been making all these disparaging remarks about black people, about Latino people”, said Southall. It did not happen. “He didn’t see it. But who’s there to challenge him on that?” wondered NBC’s Tom Brokaw, calling Trump’s statements “flat-out lies”.
Donald Trump said the United States should bring back waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques to fight the Islamic State, saying “we have to be strong” in the face of extreme brutality. Back then, Trump said,”I don’t know if I’ll do the fighting myself, or if other people will”.
The man, who was allegedly wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt, was “shoved, tackled, kicked and punched” by vicious, white Trump supporters as security struggled to help the man to his feet.
“I don’t know. Rough up?”
At the same time, he called Trump’s call for tracking and targeting Muslims specifically as something that would be “setting a pretty risky precedent”.
Nothing happened, claims the Police Dept..
