Fox News host Eric Bolling claims Muslims had advance knowledge of 9/11 -- but his evidence is bogus

A Fox News host advanced Donald Trump's unsubstantiated claims about Muslims celebrating 9/11 by floating a conspiracy theory based on bogus evidence.

Eric Bolling claimed Tuesday on "The Five" that Muslims in New Jersey reportedly received advance notice about the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks so they could watch the devastation from their rooftops, reported Mediaite.

Co-host Greg Gutfeld suggested Trump offer a $100,000 reward to anyone who can provide video evidence of "thousands and thousands" of Muslims celebrating the attacks with tailgate parties -- and Bolling took it from there.

“I remember specifically the news reports about Jersey City," Bolling said. "They said people were on the roofs watching the planes fly in. They were tipped off prior to the thing, and this was a narrative that was going on. I remember video. I don’t remember if it was Pakistan or Paterson.”

Bolling, a former commodities trader, said he knew videos of these celebrations existed because he was in the World Trade Center when it was bombed in 1993.

“There were claims that his group, his whole mosque was cheering the planes actually, finally, doing what he tried to do in 1993," he said. "Whether or not it was a thousand, thousand, a few hundred, a handful -- who cares, there were Muslims."

Bolling then attacked a Buzzfeed reporter who posted a tweet questioning his claims about Muslims having advance knowledge of 9/11.

He questioned whether the reporter, Andrew Kaczynski, could have been old enough to clearly remember the terrorist attacks and then cited evidence that actually disputed his claims about Muslims as he lashed out at talk show host Montel Williams.

The paragraph Bolling cited referred to the arrests of five men for suspicious behavior on the day of the terrorist attacks.

However, those men were Israelis, not Muslims.
