Trump Campaign: Media Conspiracy Suppressing 9/11 Celebration Footage

[Archae]

Source: Right Wing Watch

In an interview today with Breitbart News, Donald Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski defended his candidate’s bogus claim that he saw on TV “thousands and thousands” of Muslim Americans in New Jersey holding celebrations on 9/11 to applaud the attacks. No footage or reports of such an event exist, and initial press reports about small “rooftop celebrations” were later declared to be “unfounded.” However, Lewandowski said that reports of the (nonexistent) celebration do in fact exist and that the Trump campaign provided that material to media outlets which, according to Lewandowski, have refused to air it as part of a massive anti-Trump conspiracy.

"The Donald doesn't make mistakes or lie! He's perfect!"

[sakabatou]

1. I just can't wrap my head around his campaign

[Archae]

2. Don't even try.

Trump is all ego, for someone to actually *GASP* call him a total fuckup is BLASPHEMY!

[Vincardog]

3. Think NIXON. He ran on his "Secret Plan" to get us out of Nam. Remember? Same Shit Different Day

[Pacifist Patriot]

6. Because it's mind blowing.

[Agnosticsherbet]

4. If I want to be nice, they misremember celebrations in the gaza strip

after 9/11.

I think he just lied about it and then doubled down.

[xocet]

13. That sounds right...

[Glimmer of Hope]

5. Lol...

[Moostache]

7. Their followers believe it, so they do not care that it is a lie.

Trump and the rest of the GOP crazies simply keep pumping their cloistered followers full of fear and BS and bombast.
Its the classic methodology of fascism. Obedience is demanded and fear receptors in the brain are kept on full overload 24/7/365.

The mere fact that so many of the GOP field are habitual and unrepentant liars is utterly flabbergasting to me.

[Shrike47]

8. Trump does no research. He just says whatever comes into his head based on vague memories.

What's bizarre is the energy he puts into defending statements that are clearly factually incorrect.

[niyad]

9. if there actually were an "anti-trump media conspiracy", we wouldn't be flooded with images

of him 24/7. he would be living in the obscurity he so richly merits.

[FailureToCommunicate]

15. +1

[jwirr]

10. Hey Trump all of America was watching that day. Most of

us did not see what you and Carson said you saw. But that does not surprise me at all.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

33. Carson completely backtracked.

Said it was very possible he was thinking about the Palestinian celebrations.

[SoapBox]

11. So lame MSM...

You have created and fed this monster and now it's turned on you (again)...are you gonna wise up and stop promoting this asshole for free?

Oh of course not.

[Paladin]

12. Get it up, Trump.

That New Jersey footage you're spewing about? I want to see it on this evening's national news broadcasts. It goes without saying, but I will say it, anyway: your word isn't remotely good enough.

[underpants]

26. Yes where are HIS PEOPLE on this?

You know how HIS PEOPLE are just great. They're the best. They can do anything. The wall? No problem for his people. The economy? His people will fix it. Etc.

[NurseJackie]

14. Surely Fox News will come to his rescue. (Or has that marriage lost its luster?)

[underpants]

28. Or Breitbart or The Blaze or WND network

Or CNN

Etc.

[PersonNumber503602]

30. Nono but they are all in on it.

Even the right-wing media outlets.

[underpants]

31. Right EVERYONE is on on it

and they will provide free advertising via an interview later

[leftynyc]

16. Buy ad time and show

the videos. Surely he has the money for that, doesn't he?

[starroute]

17. It's starting to seem Trump is campaigning against the media

Remember this incident last week? I think Trump just upped the ante.

He was interrupted sporadically by protesters who were in the crowd of 10,500, holding signs that read "Migrant Lives Matter" and "Immigrant Lives Matter," according to the Washington Post.

But once reporters there tried to document the protesters being hauled away, they were stopped by Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who yelled that the media had to stay in their "pen."

When CNN reporter Noah Gray tried to move to film the protesters, Lewandowski turned to spokeswoman Hope Hicks and said, "Hey: Tell Noah, get back in the pen or he's f****** blacklisted," according to the Post.

Network TV news representatives will confer Monday to hash out demands about access to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign after Trump officials last week threatened to “blacklist” reporters who left a designated media “pen” during rallies for the presidential front-runner.

According to people at multiple networks, senior managers from the five leading TV news networks — ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox and NBC News — will discuss their response in an effort to push back against what they deem harsh and restrictive behavior by Trump’s managers, including his top aide, campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

18. I was in a bar the first night of Bush's "Shock and Awe" in 2003.

It was like the Super Bowl. Men and women were cheering every time one of our bombs exploded in Baghdad. To question the carnage being wrought on innocent people was not allowed, unless you wanted to be physically attacked by the patrons. I would guess many of these same revelers are Trump supporters today.

[arcane1]

21. It's funny how we went from concern for Iraqis, to glee at their misery, overnight.

What a shameful chapter in our history. Indeed, "shock and awe" is basically a synonym of "terrorism"

[bklyncowgirl]

19. So if the Trump campaign has this secret footage, why don't they ait it?

[uppityperson]

20. His Facebook page posted an old WaPo article, the one which was debunked. He is confusing rumor, a

and a different incident in a totally different country.

[pampango]

22. When you can't prove it, go with "It's a conspiracy. That's why I can't prove it." Lame but

possibly effective with low-information, CT-prone voters in the republican base.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

23. It's locked up in the same room as President Obama's Kenyan birth certificate.

[underpants]

27. Yeah maybe his people in Hawaii can find it

[Tommy_Carcetti]

29. Those people are pretty sure it's hidden in one of the rooms at the St. Regis Princeville.

They will spend months there dedicated to finding out the truth, even if it means spending grueling hours at the beach, pool, spa, golf course or fine dining. Just so long as Mr. Trump continues to fund their valiant, pain staking efforts.

[muriel_volestrangler]

24. CNN: "Does Donald Trump Transcend the Truth?"

Has Donald Trump transcended the truth only to dwell in a realm of pure, unadulterated bullshit?

Has CNN transcended the news?

https://newrepublic.com/minutes/124487/donald-trump-transcended-capacity-comprehend-him

It seems CNN has accepted that Republicans really are allowed to create new realities, and CNN then has to report it.

[longship]

25. If only media would suppress Trump Foot in mouthage.

Then, we could all relax a bit.

Maybe. Unfortunately there are too damned many mouths still open. However, fortunately, there are still plenty of feet.

The clown car abides, just like the dude.

[Jarqui]

32. I think the media is like a cat playing with a dead mouse

They've got their prey, know they're going to eat well and in the interim, they'll just toy with it to entertain.

The difference being that they'll make a bundle in ratings during the entertainment phase.

They will devour Trump. The only question is when.

34. Mixing Up NJ Israelis Celebrating

Last edited Tue Nov 24, 2015, 09:16 PM - Edit history (1)

So funny Carson thinks he saw video of Arabs celebrating the towers falling down from NJ. But it's derelict of the media to not point out he really is basing it on something real he got confused with. The 4 Israeli movers in NJ were arrested and held for weeks before it was determined they were Mossad connected and released to Israel. This actually happened. They were filming it too. They were caught by on onlooker close by. No one wants to bring this up.

[Archae]

35. The only place I saw this "Mossad story" was at a conspiracy theory web site.

Unless you have another source...

[billhicks76]

36. Thats Because You Must Be Blinded By Whining Coincidence Theorists

This was a CNN news story for days in the beginning. But like much of it it couldve been scrubbed.

[billhicks76]

38. Here Is The Video On ABC and CBS

[Archae]

39. This was at the Youtube website.

Conspiracy theories and alarmist anti-Semiticism.

40. The Video Is Of ABC and CBS Footage

If you never saw this on CNN when it happened then you must have been sleeping. I dont give a crap what else is on Youtube...its irrelevant. Go find the articles yourself then. I know all about anti-semetism first hand as I am one so take your coincidence theories elsewhere please.

[Archae]

41. So? Was any of it substantiated?

This was footage from the actual DAY, 9-11.

People were terrified, scared of their own shadows, seeing plots and conspiracies all over the place.
The Bush and Cheney cronies capitalized on this baseless fear.

Meanwhile, paranoids and white supremacists ran with these unsubstantiated "Mossad" stories, to the point where accusations of "The Mossad told Jews not to come to the WTC" were widely spread in those circles.

And even though none of the rumors and wild stories panned out, they still are making the rounds, apparently including here.

42. Jerusalem Post Not Good Enough?

I'm so sick of small minds that cannot accept anything that doesn't fit their pre-prescribed belief systems. Yes crazy things happen. Bad things happen by people you trusted. By your logic only strangers would commit a rape or rob you blind. The Coincidence Theorists amaze me. They hate facts as much as Republicans do. This story was mainstream here for weeks until those you trust, CNN, FOX and Republican Comcast owned MSNBC decided it did help their corporate narrative. These agents were held for over two months because even our government didn't trust them. Do you not believe the holocaust happened? The Turks still deny the Armenian genocide. Look, these guys were interviewed on TV once they got back to Israel. Watch it yourself. Just because crazy people watch YouTube doesn't mean everything on YouTube is false. Especially when it's just a copy of actual news reports. And it wasn't right wingers who implicated Mossad. They love Israel. It was the left.
