By Jersey Journal Editorial
Donald Trump must apologize to Muslim Americans and to Jersey City for his untrue, divisive and reprehensible comments perpetuating an old rumor we thought had rightly died.
By repeating – and indeed embellishing – this hateful rumor, Trump
once again ratchets up the ugliness in the current political climate.
Thousands and thousands of people in Jersey City did not cheer the
destruction of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Period. End of
story. There is no need to continue to "fact check'' his words.
The truth is that Trump's statements are factually, ethically and morally wrong. Those of us who were really there that day and in the days that followed know that Jersey City suffered tremendous loss, mourned and stepped up to help.
Trump should step up now and do the right thing: apologize.
