Perhaps he is in Jersey City looking for those he alleges cheered.
That being said, we can never be allowed to forget or somehow soften the memories of the pre-event inactions and post-event reactions of the former president on whose watch the events remembered occurred. The lens of 20 years later do nothing to redeem him.
