LMAO... the keystone cops of the GOP ramble on... of course Trump is still doubling down on his idiocy... Go Trump!

"Dr. Ben Carson apologized for asserting the widely discredited allegation that thousands of American Muslims had celebrated the 9/11 attacks in New Jersey. He told NBC News on Monday that he’d been thinking of celebrations captured in the Middle East — and not New Jersey.

Adding his voice to claims most recently made by Republican front-runner Donald Trump, Carson told reporters twice on Monday that he’d seen the “film” of the celebrations. When asked by NBC News specifically if he meant in New Jersey, he replied yes. Later on Monday, his campaign began walking back the comment.

“Dr. Carson does not stand by the statements that were reported today,” campaign spokesman Doug Watts said in a statement. “He was hearing and thinking something differently at the the time. He does, however, recall and had his mind focused on the celebrations in the Middle East. He is not suggesting that American Muslims were in New Jersey celebrating the fall of the twin towers.”

Watts added that “He does apologize to anybody offended by that for sure, but that was not his thinking and he is not standing behind the statement as reported.”
