Donald Trump Says New Jersey Muslims Cheered During 9/11 Attacks

“Yeah, yeah. I thought we were just talking about the fact that Muslims were inappropriately celebrating”, he said.

Even Dr. Ben Carson who first agreed with trump saying he also saw the video – But did you see that happening though on 9/11?

However, I guess this is what people mean when they say, in regards to Donald Trump, that “at least he’s honest”.

Donald Trump and his camp are standing behind disputed claims the presidential candidate made about people in New Jersey celebrating after the 9/11 attacks, with a top aide saying Tuesday that the mogul is “probably right” about what happened. He’s provided many opportunities for them to go and see it but they have their own agenda, the media has their own agenda.

Slightly behind Trump in his ability to generate voter interest is Ben Carson.

Carson, along with fellow contender Donald Trump, recently said during a press conference that he had allegedly viewed a video that showed “thousands” of Muslims cheering the falls of the Twin Towers in NY City in 2001. “On the other side, they build these iron cages, and they’ll put 20 people in them and they drop them in the ocean 15 minutes and pull them up 15 minutes later”. He also told attendees that he watched “the second plane come in [to the World Trade Center] and I said “Wow, that’s unbelievable”. I think if it had happened I would remember it but there could be things I forget too.

The firebrand insisted the U.S. “would have to be strong” in the face of the depraved terror group as he argued that the torture method, which makes suspects feel like they are drowning, would be effective against ISIS fighters. “The ample news footage of celebrations he saw was from the Middle East”, said a statement from Carson’s camp.

“Dr. Carson’s background which is relatively light on foreign policy experience and Senator Cruz’s relative depth, you know, it’s not terribly surprising there’s been this movement”, Brown says. In this most recent poll, Cruz topped all GOP candidates among tea partiers, evangelicals, women and those who identify as “very conservative”. Ted Cruz, who is now in the fourth place with eight percent, has to work harder to catch up to his rivals. In a Quinnipiac poll taken just a month ago, Cruz got only 10% support.
