Joe Scarborough defends Muslims from Trump’s 9/11 accusation in frenzied tweetstorm

El Trumpo isn’t backing down on his claim that “thousands and thousands” of Muslims were dancing and celebrating as the second tower fell during the 9/11 attack, and at a rally today he yelled out the less controversial claim that Muslims were celebrating around the world. While there’s little evidence of the first claim, the second one is just true. There were a lot of Muslims who cheered the attack.

But that didn’t stop Joe Scarborough, the host of “Morning Joe,” from tweeting out a frenzied defense of Muslims around the world:

In all these tweets, he’s referring to this quote of Trump:

Er… isn’t that the guy that committed his own terror attacks against the West?

No way, you mean the people that we saved from Saddam Hussein actually defended their interests? Weird.

Meanwhile, their government is one of the greatest worldwide sponsors of terror.

Now, put that last tweet together with this next one:

And toss in some math… let’s see, 7% of a billion people is… 70 million people who were happy about 9/11. I don’t see a problem here, do you?

But that’s besides the point – just because some heads of state publicly gave statements of sorrow and support, it doesn’t mean that there were NO Muslims that celebrated. Surely there were, and it’s ridiculous for Joe to attempt to deny it. Undoubtedly many don’t want to see the U.S. taken down, but enough do where terrorism is a persistent problem in the world.
