New Jersey Muslims Celebrated 9/11:
Trump Was Right, Posted 11/23/15, by Sean Gibbons.
Donald Trump
refuses to retract his controversial claim that he saw "thousands" of
people cheering in Jersey City, N.J., " when the World Trade Center came
tumbling down" on Sept. 11, 2001. After all, why retract a claim that
happens to be true?
"There
were people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey, where you have
large Arab populations. They were cheering as the World Trade Center came
down," the likely Republican candidate said this past week.
The Mayor of
Jersey city accused Trump of “shamefully politicizing an emotionally charged
issue.” The Anti-Defamation League called the comments
"irresponsible" and a "variation of the anti-Semitic myth that a
group of Israelis were seen celebrating as the Twin Towers fell.” According to a
November, 2001 article by the Washington Post, such celebrations did
occur.
“In Jersey
City, within hours of two jetliners' plowing into the World Trade Center, law
enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were
allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on
rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river.”
In an email on
Dec. 16, 2003, Steven Kovaleski, one of the reporters who researched the Post
story, indicated that his information had come from the Jersey City
Police Department, and that he had confirmed the JCPD’s information via interviews
of eyewitnesses of the celebration.”
Because being
politically correct now means lying, an honest claim like Donald’s is bound to
garner criticism. The media has come out in strength to attack Mr. Trump,
but they appear unable to look back in their own archives and see the validity
of such claims. Liberals just hate when facts get in the way of their fiction.
