Recently both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have made statements that give one pause. How they've been taken and the manner in which they've been addressed is really entertaining.
Trump made the statement that thousands of Muslims in Jersey City celebrated the collapse of the Twin Towers:
"Hey, I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down," the billionaire businessman and former Atlantic City casino tycoon said during a rally Saturday night in Birmingham, Ala., according to video of his speech. "And I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering."He was seized upon immediately.
The Star-Ledger reported that while the were widespread rumors of celebrations by Muslims in Newark and Paterson — a city with an estimated 25,000 Muslim residents, the second-most of any U.S. town — police and local leaders denied they ever took place.Out of the fear of politically correct reprisal, no doubt.
The heavily-left leaning Politifact hit Trump with a pants on fire.
Trump's recollection of events in New Jersey in the hours after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks flies in the face of all the evidence we could find. We rate this statement Pants on Fire.Yet there was evidence that while Trump's numbers were off, something did happen:
- A retired police captain, Peter Gallagher, said he cleared a rooftop celebration of 20 to 30 people at 6 Tonnele Ave., a four-story apartment building with an unobstructed view of Lower Manhattan, in the hours after the second tower fell.Shut down by the PC Nazis:- Knight was one of two Tonnele Avenue residents who said they witnessed a crowd celebrating on John F. Kennedy Boulevard not far from Masjid Al-Salam, the mosque where Omar Abdel-Rahman, known as the "blind sheikh," preached before the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
- Numerous people called police to report an exultant crowd on the roof of 2801 John F. Kennedy Blvd., a distinctive, five-story apartment building at the intersection of Sip Avenue, said retired officer Arthur Teeter, who worked in the radio room at police headquarters on Sept. 11.
- Three additional officers who remain on the Jersey City force said they witnessed small groups of Muslim celebrants on Sept. 11, but they would not speak for attribution, citing a department policy that prohibits media interviews.
The officers, including a high-ranking official, said their reluctance to speak publicly also stemmed from concern they would run afoul of Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, who has repeatedly said celebrations did not take place.There was also the WaPo article:"I saw it with my own eyes," the ranking officer said. "In the end, police officers are professionals, so we just observed that stuff and sucked it up."
"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."And then there's another eye witness, Ed Straker, in the American Thinker:

Donald? Apologize?

I highly doubt there is any chance of Trump apologizing to Clinton. Or Clinton apologizing to Trump for that matter.
All these hysterics from the same people who use the term “screwed” routinely and had no problem referring to Tea Party members as “tea baggers”.
Huma wearing a strapon?
Does anyone remember the word “teabagger” and how the msm used it incessantly? They did not apologize one bit even though it was used for months.
“Teabagging is a slang term for the sexual act of a man placing his scrotum in the mouth of a willing sexual partner for pleasure or onto the face or head of another person. The name of the practice, when it is done in a repeated in-and-out motion, is derived from its passing resemblance to the dipping of a tea bag into a cup of hot water as a method of brewing tea. As a form of non-penetrative sex, it can be done for its own enjoyment or as foreplay.”

WaPo is in full macaca mode.
Definition of schlonged for Hillary is Huma with a strap-on

Trump would not do it in a Bazillion years to that Witch.

Donald can apologize for saying Hillary got scholonged once after Obama apologizes for repeatedly referring to Tea Party supporters as “teabaggers.”
He won’t apologize—this was calculated. He has the press talking about Obama beating Hillary in the primaries. “Hillary is a disgusting LOSER.” He doesn’t have to buy air time to get that point across—all of the media is spreading the tale. The language he used also conjoins Hillary and Obama in an unholy connection. They are now forever linked indelibly in people’s minds. YUCK. Obama’s negatives are trough the roof. Why not attach all that negativity to the current opponent? Another BRILIIANT linguistic takedown by the Trump Meister.
