Bush rejects Trump’s claim of Muslims cheering on 9/11

Cohen said Trump demands to be “treated fairly”, and said that even if the Republican National Committee isn’t directly behind the negative advertising, it could be held responsible.

Still, it seems that this self confidence has brought Donald Trump a lot of supporters, fact proven by the latest poll results, showing that he’s the favorite for winning the Republican race, surpassing names like Ted Cruz or Ben Carson. “I’m not big on apologies”, Trump said. “What the hell, ‘” Wilson said. The same thing happens when I remember that there is a chance that Donald Trump could actually win the presidency.

“All these people spent months and months thinking he’s going to fade, hoping he would be a self-limiting problem and take care of himself”, he added.

Trump’s interactions with the media — in particular, his attempts to shut out reporters critical of his campaign –have also shown authoritarian tendencies. In the wake of the terror attacks in Paris and the ensuing hysteria he helped whip up, Trump has amped up his anti-Muslim rhetoric on the campaign trail by invoking 9/11 to paint Muslim Americans as suspicious, terrorist sympathizers or outright terrorists.

Trump provoked a controversy by making repeated claims that he saw thousands of Arab Muslims in New Jersey cheering the fall of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.

Footage did air on television of celebrations overseas, which is what Carson later said he was referring to.

In a Monday-night campaign speech, real-estate mogul Donald Trump doubled and tripled down on a claim widely disputed by fact-checkers.

Carson: Well, you know, there are going to be people who respond inappropriately to virtually everything.

“I start getting phone calls by the hundreds”, he claimed. Trump asked. “She said yes!”

“I saw the film of it, yeah.”

Trump also attacked the state of America’s infrastructure and reasoned that until it’s fixed, we can’t let others into our country. Look at where the Republican Party lives: Only 11 of 54 GOP senators and 26 of 247 GOP representatives hail from Obama-won locales, but there are 1,247 delegates at stake in Obama-won states, compared with just 1,166 in Romney states.

“He doesn’t know what he is talking about”, Mr Bush said of Mr Trump’s assertion that thousands of people were cheering on 9/11. Those reporters said they found no subsequent evidence to confirm the allegations they wrote about years ago.
