New York Times: A Definitive Debunking of Donald Trump’s 9/11 Claims

New York Times ^ | 11/25/2015 | Jim Dwyer

How alarmed were New Jersey officials by reports of Muslims dancing in the streets of Jersey City and Paterson on Sept. 11, 2001, to celebrate the destruction of the World Trade Center?

They feared riots would break out and were ready to send in the National Guard and the State Police to preserve order.

But John J. Farmer Jr., then the New Jersey attorney general and the state's chief law enforcement officer, said on Tuesday that he ordered an investigation that very day and found the reports to be bogus, more wild stories born in the stricken hours after the attacks.

Nevertheless, those ancient, false rumors were recycled as truth over the weekend by Donald J. Trump, who has folded them into his calls for the national registration of Muslims and possible closing of mosques.

Reporters were unable to find any evidence for his story, but Mr. Trump stuck with it in a television interview on Sunday. "It did happen," he said. "I saw it. It was on television."

Few people, if any, could address the circumstances more definitively than Mr. Farmer, who went on to serve as senior counsel to the Sept. 11 commission.

“Reporters were unable to find any evidence for his story, “

They must not have looked too hard.

New York Times: A Definitive Debunking of Donald Trump’s 9/11 Claims

It may not have been Patterson, NJ, but I too DISTINCTLY remember a bunch of raghead savages celebrating during the 9/11 attacks.

BFD

There were plenty of film clips showing Muslims celebrating.

The lack of outrage shows tacit approval

Then . . and now

Trouble is that I wouldn’t believe anything the NYT printed including tide tables.

[Logical me]

Funny, I saw cheering on the TV in what was reported.

Reporters were unable to find any evidence for his story

Except there was a Washington Post story from Sept 2001 that verified it.

How is it that average people can find these facts but our vaunted "Journalists" at the "newspaper for record" the NY Times cannot?

Trump will get the Dan Quayle, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich treatment. They will attempt to drive his negatives so high that only Trumps' hard core supporters will vote for him. This strategy pretty much always works with enough effort. And of course supporters of GOPe candidates (the entire field other than Trump) will cheer form the side lines hoping to inherit voters that will no longer vote Trump. However the not trump candidates that sat on the side lines cheering the smear campaign to trash Trump will never get the hard core supporters of Trump and consequently lose in the general election. Right now Trump has a firm 25% of GOP voters and likely a firm 25% of independents. That is a lot of voters to royally piss off.

But the Uniparty does not care they will be perfectly happy with anyone other then Trump. Hillary, Cruz, Rubio, Jeb are all acceptable to the globalist ruling class. Only Trump threatened their gravy train. Only Trump is not owned by billionaire donors, Chamber of Commence, Club for Growth, and the Wall St bankers. The rest not so much.

There was film from the mideast that was shown.

It’s an important distinction however, Paterson, New Jersey versus Nablus, West Bank

[Jack Hammer]

Funny, I distinctly remember seeing the films.

[moovova]

I’m sure all 13 of the NYT’s readership will be convinced.

[SunkenCiv]

The New York Times is Lying, as is its wont.

American Muslims Celebrating Cheering 911 Attacks

"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."

--Washington Post, September 18, 2001

[MNJohnnie]

The media cannot touch Trump on this. WE ALL remember seeing the Muslims cheering around the world about 09-11 and despite the Medias best efforts, after 09-11, to white wash it out of history, we are still all highly highly angry about what we saw that day still.

For most Americans, that rage has simmered under the surfaces since 09-11, the Media just managed to reignite that rage by lying about Trump on this.

We still waiting for our day of reckoning with these animals. Trump maybe the vehicle by which we get it.

[babble-on]

Find it and you can get a cabinet position in the Trump admin.

[Mr. K]

Apparently they forgot to check their own archives.

It was 15 years ago, and I don’t remember exactly where, but I vividly remember muzzie diaper-heads partying in the streets

[MNJohnnie]

I think it is pretty obvious that Trump is co-mingling 2 stories. One about NJ Muslims, the other from the images of Muslims shown from around the world celebrating and wailing in joy.

[GilGil]

Wonder if they are going to investigate Bill Clinton’s rape accusations with as much enthusiasm?
