Trump says he saw people celebrating 9/11 in Jersey City
Trump appears to have been arguing that the new national focus on criminal justice reform is perhaps misguided, as most slain African-Americans are killed by other African-Americans, not police officers. ‘He said something so politically incorrect.’That’s why we’re going to hell – because we’re so politically correct.
We conducted an exhaustive search of newspaper and television transcripts on LexisNexis, looking for reports from September 2001 through December 2001 that made any mention of Muslims in New Jersey celebrating the 9/11 attacks.
Former NY governor George Pataki, who was governor at the time of the attacks, also responded, via Twitter. I promise you. Never going to happen.

He continued: “If you don’t mind, I want to be, I want to surveil”. “I’m sure most Americans deep down know that guy can’t be serious”, says Ian Belzar.
Is anyone defending the fine citizens of New Jersey-who very well may have been happy to see the towers fall, but were not, as far as anyone can tell, actually cheering it? Now, I know they don’t like to talk about it. (…) There were people over in New Jersey that were watching it, a heavy Arab population that were cheering as the buildings came down.

Trump doubled down on his comments Sunday during a phone interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s The Week. I don’t know if you have seen with the cages, where they put people in cages and they drown them in the ocean and they lift out the cage, and we are taking about waterboarding …
The Birmingham rally marks the latest example of Trump’s refusal to back down amid outcries over his often-incendiary racial and religious rhetoric – and comes as polls show him once again with a clear lead over the rest of the candidates seeking the Republican Party’s presidential nomination.
