Damn the right sure has lost there minds. Come on even if you are a conservative this is funny stuff.
The right-wing internet immediately sank its teeth in: "Trump Card: New Report Points To DC Media Cover-Up of 9/11 NJ Muslim Celebration" read the Breitbartian headline of a Breitbart article published later in the day. In the article, author John Nolte allowed that Trump has exaggerated, but argued that "There is, however, plenty of evidence that some number of New Jersey Muslims celebrated 9/11 and that for the last 14 years the DC Media has engaged in a coordinated cover up."
Setting aside the claim of a cover-up, which Nolte didn't bother providing any evidence for, this does seem, as Halperin pointed out, to be a contemporaneous account of post-9/11 celebrating on American soil. The problem is that Siegel, a scholar-in-residence at St. Francis College in Brooklyn and senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, didn't witness any of it firsthand, and today, a decade and a half after the fact, he can no longer remember who told him about it. While he continues to believe some Muslims were celebrating after 9/11, he also thinks Trump is exaggerating for effect. "I think something did happen," he told Daily Intelligencer, "[and] he exaggerated — he often exaggerates."
