Green Book writer called out for falsely claiming New Jersey Muslims cheered 9/11
EW ^ | January 9, 2019

Posted on 01/15/2019 10:33:12 AM PST by SMGFan

Nick Vallelonga, one of the writers and producers of the Golden Globe-winning dramedy Green Book, has deleted his Twitter account after coming under intense criticism for a 2015 tweet in which he repeated Donald Trump’s thoroughly debunked claim that Muslims in New Jersey celebrated the Sept. 11 attacks.

Vallelonga’s tweet called Trump’s falsehood “100% correct” and claimed, “Muslims in Jersey City cheering when towers went down. I saw it, as you did, possibly on local CBS news.”

Such claims have been definitively debunked by outlets such as the New York Times and the Washington Post.

When did this story change, again. I have seen several videos of Muslims in the New York area cheering.

Lying BS again.

Those spreaders of truth, The York Slimes and the Daily ComPost? They would never lie or cover-up , would they?

The cheering occurred here in my hometown at a 7-11 type store the Muslims owned. They gave away free beer in celebration.

Original name was Hudson Boulevard, IIRC. Maybe it needs to go back to that name.

So they are trying to forget that the following appeared in the Washington (Com)Post:
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.

There is evidence of this event occurring. NYT et al. are unsurprisingly lying.

Green Book is an excellent movie, throughly enjoyed it.

The writer’s politics are not politically correct thus the backlash from the left.

I saw the video live of them celebrating. They were quickly retconned and never shown again.

What he saw was true. The EW lies.

Muzzies cheered. At that moment, it should have been obvious that they are not compatible with this country and should not be here.

Thoroughly debunked — BS. Who am I going to believe, the lying media who have squashed all their film of the cheering and continue to lie about it, or my own eyes that watched it real time.
