Trump: Apologize For Saying I Lied About N.J. Muslims Cheering 9-11

Donald Trump won’t let it go.

The billionaire presidential candidate and real estate mogul demanded an apology from those who doubted his story that thousands of people - many presumably Muslims - cheered when the Twin Towers were struck on Sept. 11, 2001.

On Twitter, he notes a passage in a 2001 Washington Post article that makes reference to “tailgate-style parties” and people being detained because they were cheering.

Trump was apparently referring to a Jersey City crowd that included Muslims when he made the remarks, telling a crowd on the campaign traIl this past weekend that “thousands of people were cheering, so something is going on.”

“I want surveillance of these people. I want surveillance if we have to and I don’t care,” he said during the event.

Trump’s numbers have surged a bit since the terrorist attacks in France that the terror group ISIS has taken responsibility for. Trump has burnished his anti-terror credentials by telling crowds that the U.S. should “bomb the s---t” out of ISIS.

A number of people - including Chris Christie - said they don’t remember any cheering in Jersey City. Some have accused Trump of out-and-out fabricating the story, while Christie merely said he doesn’t remember it.
