MSNBC: Donald Trump Sticking by 9/11 Story

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

BRZEZINSKI: "Donald Trump sticking to his story. Yeah. And this we can talk about. Sticking to the story thousands of people celebrated in new Jersey as the twin world trade centers fell on 9/11. The reports of people dancing on top of the roof tops were false and the celebrations never happened."

TRUMP: "I took a little bit of heat. Carson said yes, he saw it and said no, no his mind wasn't thinking right. I took heat in New Jersey and Jersey City. I said very strongly and correctly I said there are people over there and they were dancing in the street and dancing on roof tops. So what happens is the Washington Post writes an article and talking about northern New Jersey draws the papers on and you got to see this guy. I don't know what I said. I don't remember."

BRZEZINSKI: "If it wasn't such a serious issue. Stop. No."
SCARBOROUGH: "There is one element of truth to what Trump is saying that is true and funny because the poor Washington Post reporter writes this. At the time. If he didn't see it, he wouldn't put it in the newspaper. This is what people always do. They overreact to Donald Trump's overreaction and overreacting to Donald Trump's over reaction whether it was a joke about McCain or whatever, it was a list every Sunday. Over react and give him a kernel of truth to hold on. Now, Willie, everybody's saying oh, nobody ever danced on roof tops. There's a Washington Post article that says they did. Just say he's exaggerating."
GEIST: "The article said police were investigating report that is this had happened."
SCARBOROUGH: "That they actually took people into custody because they were having tailgating parties. But the point is though it's in the Washington Post just say they investigated it and it may have been a hand full of people and trump is estimating it to a thousand people. It never happened and why did Washington Post report on it?"
