Huge for Trump! TV proof of
9/11 cheers, CBS
newscast describes 'swarms' of celebrating Muslims on roof, by Cheryl Chumley,
12/2/15
A newly emerged CBS News video from
2001 flies in the face of the national media pointing fingers at Donald
Trump, accusing him of lying about the reports of thousands of Muslims cheering
on rooftops after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
The video, from September 16, 2001,
from WCBS-TV, the CBS owned and operated station in New York City, actually
reports something virtually identical – that “swarms” of Muslims cheered from
rooftops over the terrorist attacks that killed and injured thousands of
Americans.
As Breitbart
found, the CBS newsman said in the video:
“Just a couple of blocks away from that Jersey City apartment, the FBI raided
yesterday and had evidence removed, there is another apartment building, one
that investigators told me, quote, ‘was swarming with suspects’ — suspects who
I’m told were cheering on the roof when they saw the planes slam into the Trade
Center. Police were called to the building by neighbors and found eight men
celebrating, six of them tenants in the building.”

The newscaster went on, the video
showed: "The FBI and other terrorist task force agencies arrived, and the
older investigators on the task force recalled that they had been to this
building before, eight years ago, when the first World Trade Center attack led
them to Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, whose Jersey City mosque lies between the two
buildings getting attention today. And the older investigators remember that
the suspects that eventually got convicted for the first Trade Center case …
lived in the building where these same eight men were celebrating the
destruction that they saw from the roof. Calling this a hot address, the task
force investigators ordered everyone detained."
The video would seem to fly in the
face of a massive media attack on Trump for his previous claims of seeing
Muslims cheering on rooftops over the terror attacks. Specifically, he told an
Alabama campaign crowd he "watched the World Trade Center go down" on
television and shortly after, watched in New Jersey "as thousands of
people were cheering as the building was coming down." He then went on
"This Week" on ABC and said "there were people that were
cheering on the other side of New Jersey where you have large Arab populations
... as the World Trade Center came down," as WND
previously reported.
For that, Trump was completely
vilified by the press. The Washington Post's factchecker slammed him with a
rating of four Pinocchios, the tag given those who tell the biggest whoppers. The
factchecker was later forced to tone down his critical rhetoric, after readers
pointed out reports from his own employer, the Washington Post, published on
September 18, 2001, of cheering Muslims from nearby rooftops.
Fox News star Bill O'Reilly just told
his national television audience Tuesday evening he conducted his own
investigation of Trump's claims, but came up short. Speaking with fellow Fox
newsman Eric Shawn, the two agreed there was no evidence to back Trump's talk
of "thousands" cheering in the Garden State and that the frontrunner
candidate likely "conflated" two things, Mediaite
reported.
At the same time, Trump has enjoyed
a massive surge in polls, breaking away from his leading competitor, former
neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who has now fallen to third place in the most recent
Quinnipiac University polls, as WND
reported. As Quinnipiac's spokesman said:
Trump seems to be "wearing Kevlar," and is leading the Republican
pack despite massive opposition from both establishment Republicans and
left-leaning members of the press.
Breitbart noted the CBS News video
may still not quiet some of Trump's critics.
As the news outlet wrote:
"People are arguing falsely that the fact that only eight suspects were
apprehended contradicts the 'swarm' claim. [Think] again. An 'investigator'
told CBS about the 'swarm.' The fact that a certain number were brought into
custody does not change the fact that there was a 'swarm.' The obvious
impression is that of the 'swarm,' only eight were brought into custody. Eight
people do not swarm on all those rooftops. They 'gather.'"
And that, combined with the
"contemporaneous news reports" about the cheering Muslims, including
the Washington Post's own mention of the fact, gives credence to Trump's
claims, Breitbart's John Nolte wrote.
Just recently, the New York Post
reported about Rudy Giuliani telling CNN's Alisyn Camerota there were Muslim
celebrations about September 11, 2001. As the Post wrote: "Camerota
quizzed Giuliani, hoping he would say that Trump is 'lying.' She was frustrated
when Giuliani merely said that Trump had been 'exaggerating' and pointing out
hitherto ignored examples of handfuls of Muslims celebrating in New York."
And as Breitbart noted, MTV ran a
news report about Muslim celebrations on Nov. 17, 2001, in which a Patterson,
New Jersey, resident describes a group of teenagers chanting and cheering,
shortly after the attacks.
As the Hill
reported, she said: "They were saying
'burn America' and, you know, all these things about America."
Breitbart's Nolte concluded
his piece with the blunt assessment: the media's wrong; Trump's right.
He wrote: "From all of those
reports, it is perfectly reasonable and nothing close to lying to put together
a picture of 'thousands.' Fact: Donald Trump is now 100 percent vindicated. If
these celebrations did not occur, the only thing Trump did wrong was to believe
the same media that is now calling him a liar – and doing so to cover up the
truth about American Muslims celebrating 9/11 and their own covering up of that
fact."
