No one could believe that no U.S. Muslims celebrated when it happened. But Trump said he saw it on TV. It may not be a substantive mistake to the heart of the issue, but it seems like a mistake at this point since no video has surfaced.
Also, if that video had aired at the time, I’m sure someone would’ve been discussing it on FR or on other forums. I haven’t seen anyone dig up posts from around that time where people discussed seeing such a video. I tried to use Google to search FR posts around that time for keywords and I couldn’t find any discussion about a video of it.
I’m sure this video has been posted already: http://youtu.be/oMOZvbYJMvU
But if you mean video of Muslims in America celebrating? I suppose that might be difficult to find. Maybe Trump confused video such as what I posted above with coverage of what American Muslims were doing on 9/11. It’s an easy mistake to make and perfectly understandable given written and oral reports of celebrating Muslims in Jersey.
“but it seems like a mistake at this point since no video has surfaced.”
The vast majority of taping back then was done on VHS and such. Very few ppl had blackberries with built in cameras. Its not completely shocking that no videos would come to light more so not quickly. The video of the CBS story was recorded to vhs and then the guys used(most likely) his cell phone camera to post it on youtube.
The media isn’t going to do any foot work to help trump. So news videos are off the table unless someone has them on VHS.
