Fox’s Cavuto Defends Trump’s Claim That Muslim Americans Celebrated After 9/11

However, he refuted the claims of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump that thousands of Muslims cheered the terrorist attack on that day. A week of raging debate over Syrian refugees and Islamic State violence has scattered misinformation everywhere.

Donald Trump and yours truly, among others, have been branded liars by left wing talking heads that claim Muslims didn’t celebrate in New Jersey after the attacks of 9/11.

As Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump continues to insist that he viewed television footage of “thousands and thousands” of Muslims celebrating in New Jersey as the World Trade Center fell, journalists searching for footage have failed to find it.

Awad said there has been a recent increase in attacks on mosques and American Muslims, which he said Trump is “at least partially responsible for”.

The New York Times, reporting on that meeting, suggested the GOP frontrunner wants to confront skepticism about his candidacy and project sensitivity about minority concerns.

Bernie Sanders said that Trump adds to the growth of Islamaphobia with his comments. Police had been called to a Jersey City address that was “swarming with suspects” after witnesses reported there was “cheering on the roof” as the two planes slammed into the Twin Towers on that fateful September morning.

Thomas said, he, along with several others, asked Trump many questions surrounding race and the economy, “51 percent of the black youth are unemployed”. Jesus was a refugee, and they are meeting with someone who has taken a mean stance against refugees. When a Black Lives Matter protester was physically attacked at his campaign rally, Trump said that perhaps the person “should have been roughed up”.

“‘I don’t know what I said, I don’t remember.'” Trump says in an exaggerated voice, as if mimicking someone else.

“They accused Mr. Trump of being an insulting individual but they’ve levied insults at us that I wouldn’t levy against people I hate”, Scott said. “The meeting went so much longer, and it went longer only because of the love”. “They did it for free, so there’s another word for that and I would not use that language on a family channel”. But on Tuesday, MTV News republished the full news report, which shows a young New Jersey resident who describes seeing “13, maybe 14 at most” teenagers apparently celebrating.

Trump himself said that the meeting was “amazing”.
