The Hill:
CNN added the word “racial” to Donald Trump’s Monday comments on terrorism and immigration, and is running headlines reporting that the GOP nominee is advocating “racial profiling”.
But a review of the transcript of Trump’s comments to Fox News that CNN quoted, however, shows that Trump never put the word “racial” in front of “profiling.”
“You know in Israel, they profile,” Trump said Monday to Fox News. “They’ve done an unbelievable job — as good as you can do. But Israel has done an unbelievable job. And they’ll profile. They profile. They see somebody that’s suspicious. They will profile. They will take that person in. They will check out.”
In a later interview with Bill O’Reilly, Trump also expressed a need to profile in the manner Israel does, but again didn’t use the word “racial.” But when pressed by O’Reilly how it could be determined how a person could be deemed suspicious, Trump wouldn’t elaborate.
“It works. If we see somebody that we think could be a problem at airports and other places you talk to them and you see what’s going on. We don’t do that. Not much.”
CNN has been running headlines throughout the day that specifically quotes Trump as saying “racial profiling” and the Fox News excerpts the network sent out Monday evening also framed his quotes as responses to questions about “racial profiling.”
CNN.com also is using the term racial profiling in its headlines.
Ideological profiling is legal.
Racial profiling is not legal.
So, naturally, CNN had to try to make it look like Trump wants ILLEGAL profiling.
Islamic terror is NOT limited to black-skinned people.
Some of the worst Islamic terrorists of our time were those who murdered so many children and their teachers in Beslen, Russia.
The Boston bombers were also from that part of the world.
They were white-skinned people.
What did they have in common with the Somali slasher in Minn., and the Afghani bomber in NY/NJ?
They all shared the same Islamic ideology.
Not their ”race,” their Islamic “ideology.”
Lying to liberals, especially if it is something they want to hear, is easy. The left has been trying to put their old coat of racism on the GOP for a long time. With the democratic candidate such a muddled pile, they have no choice but to trot out their tired old tactics.
They wring their hands lament, melt down, but nothing seems to be working. Thank the internet alternative sources of information.
@kitt: Clearly the dimocrats are the racists. Look at how many times they tell blacks that Republicans are not their friend. They’re all about race. Keep them on the plantation.
This is how liberals are so easily played for the fool. And it doesn’t even bother them.
3…. 2…. 1…. some liberal lemming is now cutting and pasting PROOF that Trump is a racist. Just like he said all Mexicans are rapists and Muslims should be banned.
Left wing idiots play their role so happily.
CNN the Communists News Network who trusts these bunch of lowlife no account sidewinders and polecats any way?
