Ben Carson told reporters on Monday that he has seen the news coverage of New Jersey residents cheering after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, a debunked rumor resurfaced by Donald Trump over the weekend.
He told reporters in Nevada that he "saw the film" of New Jersey residents cheering, later clarifying that he saw the "newsreels" of the cheering, according to ABC News.


"There are going to be people who respond inappropriately to virtually everything. I think that was an inappropriate response. I don’t know if on the basis of that all Muslims are bad people. I really think that would be a stretch," Carson told reporters, referring to the rumored cheering in New Jersey.
Everybody wants to be the conductor on the crazy train. Nice of him to maintain some doubt about the quality of all Muslims based on the incident, I know he has changed my opinion of ALL neurosurgeons.

Let's cut him a break. He has demonstrated that he has terrible memory at times.

We *all* saw reports of cheering Muslims. It's just that some of us can't tell the difference between NJ and Gaza.

I'd think that being able to tell the difference would be a key skill for a potential president, but apparently not everyone thinks as I do.

Well, that pretty much settles it: It never happened.

Exactly. Both Trump and Carson are "misremembering" the reality that it was NOT American Muslims that were filmed cheering 9/11.

No, that's what I said, they were not American Muslims, why would there be thousands and thousands of foreign Muslims in New Jersey?

Both Trump and Carson are incorrect (IMO) in their recollection.

Oh, Gotcha. I remember seeing them too (foreign) and how pi$$ed off I was when I saw it. It would have been fine with me at that moment had Bush bombed them off the earth.

Why would Muslims be cheering on 9/11 when they didn't know who had staged the attack...?
