7. "Reports" ain't footage. Trump said he saw the celebrations on TV.

With all the Islamaphobia in this country right after 911, I have no doubt there were all kinds of "reports," especially because the networks did air footage of people in the Middle East cheering. But Trump said he saw it on TV. To use the idiom of Chuck Toad: If I'm in network news and I hear Trump say that, I have every available staffer looking for footage. If I'm Trump and I'm getting this much blowback for saying that, I'm going to every network and every NYC area affiliate and offering to pay the cost of such a search.

So, Bernie Kerik or no Bernie Kerik, where is the footage? It's not about how many "witnesses" come forward and argle bargle about "reports" they heard. Just show the footage. It's not rocket science. Just show the footage.
