There were muslims in nj celebrating 9/11. The reporter in question reported it.
There were not thousands of people dancing in celebration in New Jersey, which is what Trump said he saw. Trump lied. The reporter did not report that he saw celebrations. He reported that he heard some Muslims in New Jersey watched the towers fall from the roof of their apartment building, but he was
never able to get reliable confirmation of this story.
TRUMP LIED, and then tried to cover it up with more lies, and by mocking the reporter. That's the kind of wonderful, decent, honest human being you elected president.
The Washington Post gave Trump 4 Pinnocchios for lying about celebrating Muslims, and a further 4 Pinnocchios for lying about the reporter.
Trump repeated an Urban Legend as if he had really seen it happen
When informed that there was no evidence supporting his claim, Trump refused to admit he was wrong and scoured the interweb to find some collaborating story. Serge Kovaleski had written a short blurb stating that a few people had been detained for allegedly celebrating. Trump used this as affirmation that thousands had been celebrating
When asked 16 years later, Kovaleski stated he did not remember any story about thousands or even hundreds celebrating
Trump was outraged that Kovaleski did not support his tall tale so he took to his Trumpbots with a story about Kovaleski groveling and sputtering....Oh....oh....I don't remember
To make it worse, Trump gave an imitation of Kovaleskis handicap beginning with....Have you
seen this guy?
Fast forward to yesterday and Trump is still throwing Kovaleski under the bus and accusing him of changing his story to hurt him. There is NO EVIDENCE that Kovaleski changed his original story
Trump did not imitate Kovaleskis handicap. His handicap is the exact opposite of spastic.
You continue to lie.
Why not be an adult and respond to what he actually did?
Actually it is Trump lying and lying repeatedly
He lied that he had seen thousands of Muslims celebrating
He lied about Kovaleskis article supporting his claim
He lied when he said Kovaleski was groveling and couldn't remember
He lied when he claimed he had never met Kovaleski
He lied when he said Kovaleski changed his story in an attempt to hurt him
There were thousands of Muslims celebrating in other countries and that was on the news. I remember hearing about some here in the states cheering as the towers fell. Even some libs were quick to say we had it coming and didn't blame Muslims for being happy. All anti-capitalists enjoyed it. To this day, the left doesn't like to talk about that Muslim terrorist attack. Obama tried to make 9/11 into some liberal holiday and talks about community service rather than remembering what our enemies did. Or maybe he thinks the terrorists were just doing community service by attacking capitalism.
Kovaleski did retract a good part of his story.
Face it, the left refuses to admit that there is such a thing as radical Muslims. Never have they admitted that the many attacks, on our soil, were carried out by radical Muslims. Of course, they won't admit that Muslims celebrated.
And they will not turn against any liberal reporter.
It is a lie that Trump mocked the guy. Trump has done that same gesture a dozen times before and it had nothing to do with the guy's disability.
Obama was more insulting to the disabled when he talked about golfing or whatever sport and when explaining that his skills weren't good, he said it was like Special Olympics. That was a direct insult.
Trump said nothing about the disabled and the gestures were not in any way mocking the guy's disabilities. The guy's attitude deserved mocking.
