Trump insisted on Sunday he was "100 percent right" when he said he saw thousands of Muslims in Jersey City, New Jersey, cheering the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, even though fact-checkers have debunked his assertion.
Trump said he has heard from "hundreds of people that agree" that there were televised Muslim celebrations of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, which he used as evidence to show his remarks were true.
"I saw it. So many people saw it," said Trump. "So, why would I take it back? I'm not going to take it back."
When NBC anchor Chuck Todd suggested the people Trump heard from are supporters and might want to agree with him, Trump interrupted to note the "huge Muslim population" New Jersey has.
"Why wouldn't it have taken place?" he said. "I've had hundreds of people call in and tweet in on Twitter, saying that they saw it and I was 100 percent right."
Trump came under fire last week after saying at a rally and on television that he had seen thousands of people in Jersey City cheer the collapse of the twin towers in Manhattan.
His remarks have since been disputed by public officials and fellow Republican candidate New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who said: "I think if it had happened, I would remember it."
"It did happen in New Jersey," Trump said.
"I have a very good memory, I'll tell you," he said. "I saw it somewhere on television many years ago. And I never forgot it."
