Fulop: Trump 'shamefully politicizing' 9/11 attacks
Jersey Journal ^ | November 22, 2015

Posted on 11/22/2015 9:24:36 AM PST by SMGFan

Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop today ripped into Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump for saying he saw 'thousands of people' in Jersey City cheer when the World Trade Center was destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001.

"Trump is plain wrong, and he is shamefully politicizing an emotionally charged issue," Fulop said in a statement released this morning. "No one in Jersey City cheered on September 11."

The real-estate mogul and front-runner in the race for the Republican presidential nomination for president made his comments in Birmingham, Ala. He is calling for surveillance of some U.S. mosques

Really Mr Mayor no one in Jersey City? How do you know what happened? You are describing events downtown & at Liberty Park. The rest of the city was a massive traffic jam at 10 am. No Muslims, like those behind WTC 2/26/ 1993 cheered? The rental van of 2/1993 was purchased in JC. Explosives stored in JC.

IIRC, Mohammed, the DC Sniper, cheered on 9-11.

This from a guy who’s party is first in front of a camera after every shooting involving white people to demand that the second amendment be rolled back.

Ramzi Yousef was in Jersey City 1993.

A vehicle identification number (VIN), found on a piece from an axle, gave investigators crucial information that led them to a Ryder truck rental outlet in Jersey City. Investigators determined that the vehicle had been rented by Mohammed A. Salameh, one of Yousef’s co-conspirators.[22] Salameh had reported the van stolen, and when he returned on March 4, 1993, to get his deposit back, authorities arrested him.[23]
Salameh’s arrest led police to the apartment of Abdul Rahman Yasin in Jersey City, New Jersey, which Yasin was sharing with his mother, in the same building as Ramzi Yousef’s apartment.

Ask Fulop, what about Muslims, Jersey City and 1993 WTC bombing. No one in Jersey City cheered then?

I remember reading about the cheering...at the time I was shocked.

And news flash Mr Mayor...9/11 WAS political.

The van that the 1993 WTC bomb was in was a rented Ford. Your linked article has two Chevvies with DA JOOOOOOZE driving.

Article belongs in the round file.

When people point out the ‘cheering Israelis’ in relation to 9/11 I always ask: “Israeli Jews or Israeli Arabs’. The conversation is usually dropped like a hot rock after that.

I do believe the Mayor needs and email and phone call as someone needs to explain to him most of us saw that with our own eyes.

Here is our ray of sunshine mayor

City Hall
280 Grove Street
Jersey City, New Jersey 07302
Tel: (201) 547-5200
Fax: (201) 547-4288/5442

How about you give him a call?

Islamic apologists, especially elected officials, no longer get a pass they must be stood up to.

Now that the You-Tube proof has emerged that what Trump said about cheering Muslims on 911 is true, time for a new tactic. So now it's "shameful pandering" to bring it up?

How the heck is it shameful pandering to bring up a valid point about the depth of terrorist sympathies in the Muslim community? It's way past time for those anti-terrorist Muslims to get their house in order, if they really are anti-terrorist.

Just an observation, but a few times Trump has been called on this or that only to find he was correct.

Yes he is correct. If the French can “Watch” the Mosques, why can’t we? And for those dissenters, “yes, they do. Why do you think the French have deported over 40 imams?”
How many have WE deported?
