Donald Trump has false memories of Muslims celebrating 9/11 attacks in New Jersey

Donald Trump continues to insist he saw “thousands and thousands of people” in New Jersey cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001 — despite a complete lack of evidence to support his claim.

While defending his call for the surveillance of “certain mosques” over the weekend, Trump said he saw the alleged celebrations with his own eyes.

“I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down,” the Republican frontrunner told the crowd at a raucous rally in Birmingham, Ala., on Saturday. “And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down.”

In an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday, Trump doubled down.

“There were people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey where you have large Arab populations,” Trump said. “They were cheering as the World Trade Center came down. I know it might be not politically correct for you to talk about it, but there were people cheering as that building came down — as those buildings came down — and that tells you something. It was well covered at the time, George. Now, I know they don’t like to talk about it, but it was well covered at the time. There were people over in New Jersey that were watching it, a heavy Arab population, that were cheering as the buildings came down. Not good.”

While there were images of people in parts the Middle East cheering the attacks, there is no evidence that similar celebrations took place in New Jersey.

“It did happen. I saw it,” Trump insisted. “It was on television.”
