El Trumpo has been offering as proof that Syrian refugees can’t be trusted that he personally saw thousands of Muslims cheering in New Jersey after the 9/11 attacks.
Trump now says he saw people in New Jersey cheering as the World Trade Center came down on 9/11

Apparently it was an internet rumor way back in 2001, but as far as I can tell, there’s no evidence it happened.
Here’s video of him saying he saw thousands and thousands of people personally, himself, cheering about 9/11:
The Mayor of Jersey City says it never happened, but he’s probably a Muslim collaborator in the pocket of the ISIS caliphate who committed coitus with Osama Bin Laden, because that’s the only way he’d disagree with el Trumpo.
Either @realDonaldTrump has memory issues or willfully distorts the truth, either of which should be concerning for the Republican Party

From CBS New York:
…there is no evidence of mass celebrations by Muslims in Jersey City, which sits right across the Hudson River from Lower Manhattan.
Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop says Trump is “plain wrong” and is politicizing an emotionally charged issue.
“No one in Jersey City cheered on September 11th,” Fulop said in a statement. “Trump needs to understand that Jersey City will not be part of his hate campaign.”
Is this a possible explanation?
Donald Trump just confused the West Bank for New Jersey. No biggie.

He’s been pressed on it this morning and he has kept insisting that he saw them do it. Maybe he knows something we don’t. Oh hell, who cares, his followers will swear they saw it too.
Trump Says Falsely That New Jersey Arabs “Cheered” On 9/11 https://t.co/sV11bY20Eg Buzz is wrong, I’ve seen that stuff on youtube.

#Trump is referring to Paterson, New Jersey, where they rejoiced at 9-11 and raised the Palestine flag over city hall in 2013.

@NRO I saw it too. I was born in Jersey City before it became a third world s**t hole. Muslims were dancing in the streets on 911 @911USA1 — Josephine Mauro (@victoryorbust) November 23, 2015
Yup.
I’m surprised the bloodthirsty Muslims in Jersey City haven’t ripped down this 9/11 memorial with their bare hands!!!

Or maybe they have, and el Trumpo saw it with his own eyes, and his followers will confirm it, and I’m totally wrong and a paid Rubio hack.
Can anyone provide evidence of this event happening? I tried to exonerate el Trumpo but all my Mexy powers of investigation couldn’t find a shred of proof.
UPDATE!!!!
Our intrepid readers provided this indisputable evidence that el Trumpo saw “thousands and thousands” of Muslims celebrating:
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.
Damn straight, haters and losers!!
