Christie said it didn’t happen. But he also said that bridge closing didn’t happen either.
(commentary on this paragraph)
“There is a well-circulated video clip of Palestinians celebrating the attacks in the West Bank, as The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler has reported.”
Actually is almost TOTALLY SPIKED, too. But nice try.
“Newspapers, including The Post, stated that police had detained some people in northern New Jersey who were allegedly partying on rooftops and watching the mayhem in New York.”
THERE IT IS!
“The Newark Star-Ledger later reported that “rumors of rooftop celebrations of the attack by Muslims here proved unfounded.—
Is Trump now supposed to READ EVERY HICK NEWSPAPER IN THE COUNTRY to search for a Washington Post story to be considered untrue?
Sounds to me that Trump should be given THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT here...and he will. As with all other attacks so far, this will backfire in their faces.
IIRC, Mohammed, the DC sniper was cheering in a saloon.
Those idiots don’t even vet their own database:
Sept 18, 2001 - Washingtonpost
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.

Funny: I have the same memory.
Because HE DID.
We all did. From the West Bank, Baghdad, Hamtramck/Dearborn and New Jersey.
He’s saying it because it happened.
L
Why?
Maybe because we all saw it?
Here is FR from that day. Trump’s people ought to look at and a few pages after to see if there is any reference

Why do these people openly defend someone that thats them and wants them to die?
Who does that?
Liberalism is a MENTAL DISORDER.
I was 34 when this happened. I remember seeing the footage I think Mr. trump is referring to It had interviews of Muslims all happy about the towers going down and was initially reported as local in New Jersey but it turned out to be footage from the west bank and Egypt. instead of searching the archives in a normal search I think the footage would be found by doing a strait viewing of the local reporting at the time. the reason why was that it never got recorded in the archives that it was footage from New jersey instead it is listed as West bank and Egyptian footage.
There was plenty of video footage of Muslims joyously celebrating the 9/11 attacks including dancing in the streets, constant shouting of Allah Akbar,!and handing out sweet cakes and other treats and doing the trilling la la la la victory cry that Arabs do.
It was so bad in Gaza that Yasser Arafat had to send Fatah thugs in to stop the celebrations, seize the cameras of the foreign reporters and threaten to kill them if they aired the footage or reported the celebration
Knowing he was facing a PR disaster of epic proportions with the American public Arafat then went to a hospital to be filmed donating blood to send to New York hospitals .
