CNN Edits Donald Trump's 'Muslim Registry' Comments to Make Him Look Like an Anti-Muslim Bigot
PJ Media ^ | 11-22-2015 | Michael van der Galien

Posted on 11/22/2015 9:04:16 AM PST by Michael van der Galien

CNN -- the cable network that's going to host a new Republican debate soon -- has been caught with its greedy, sticky little hands firmly planted in the cookie jar. As Gateway Pundit reports, CNN maliciously edited a video of Donald Trump in order to make him look like an anti-Muslim bigot.

Here's the video. Be sure to pay attention: you'll see that they took some footage out immediately before Trump says "absolutely."

Because of CNN's selective editing, it looks like Trump answers "absolutely" to the question of whether his administration would create a Muslim registry. The only problem? The "absolutely" was in reference to a completely different point. Here's the full transcript of what happened:

Reporter: Should there be a database system that tracks Muslims who are in this country? Trump: There should be a lot of systems, beyond databases. We should have a lot of systems, and today you can do it. But right now we need to have a border, we have to have strength, we have to have a wall, and we cannot let what’s happening to this country happen any longer.

Reporter: Is that something your White House would like to implement?

Donald Trump: I would certainly implement that. Absolutely.

A blind man can see that Trump was talking and thinking about having "a border" and "a wall," not about a Muslim registry, when he said "absolutely." Yet CNN made it look like he said it to the question about a Muslim registry.

Why would CNN do such a thing? Their reporters are generally very well educated and extremely smart. So it can't be an innocent mistake.

We should track people coming in from elsewhere. If we do have databases of many pedophiles and we maintain records about criminals.

Without CNN, there wouldn’t be any low information voters and the DemocRATS would never “win” any elections.

Which is why the Rats are relying more and more on electronic voter fraud.

I think bigotry is based on ignorance. Dislike Islam comes from becoming educated about this evil hateful dogma.

CNN seems to be bigoted against Americans who don't want to be decapitated by Obama imported ISIS solders.

If things don't change radically being muslim, not ISIS, in America is going to be the same as being a member of the KKK.

CNN is doing the theoritical peace loving muslim no favors by preaching to us how we are being hateful why we watch our fellow citizens and Christians be slaughtered by those following the Satanic Versus

There should be “a lot of systems beyond databases” to track Muslims that need to be “better managed” and registered around the country to keep out illegals and this is supposed to be obvious he was talking about a Wall, or Syrian refugees or whatever ?

If they cleaned up the voter roles from dead people and had strict voter ID laws, the democRATs would never "win" any elections.

Those were my thoughts as well. Bigotry comes from ignorance, but the only ignorant people are those who are not anti-Muslim.

Man! This story is going to be wall to wall on CNN. I can’t wait to see their investigative reporters endlessly ferret out and endlessly hound the culprits who committed this gross slander.

Huuuh? . . . . .. . . . What? . . . . .

Oooooooooh . . . . . . never mind.

If I were Trump, I’d go publc and say that I was not going to attend the debate unless and until CNN publicly lays of their deception on-air and issues an apology. They don’t have a debate without Trump. He has the leverage to do this.

Trump IS the debate.

If he’s a no-show the debate is a no-watch.

He can go on another network and watch the debate live, making wisecracks from the sideline..he’d draw 20 million viewers.

They're just going to boost his poll numbers some more. That's how much credibility and respect they command.

The December republican debate is hosted by CNN.

How can CNN be considered fair and balanced?

Trump and the republicans need to pull out of the CNN debate!

I wish he would do exactly that! It is as important to put away the GOPe as it is to will the White House. President Trump will not only have to reverse Obama’s EO’s but also shame the GOPe into submission in order to get his legislative programs enacted.

If you have a SSN, you are in a Data Base.

If you ever entered a promotion, your in a Data Base.

It is time for someone to grow a pair and tell the MSM to ESAD.

Thank you very much, I feel better.

Let’s see, the left wants law abiding gun owners who have never killed anyone to be REGISTERED in a DATABASE.

But don’t want ILLEGALS coming into our country that could kill us to not be REGISTERED in a DATABASE?

Ok, Got it.

Ted Turner started CNN but I don't believe he has had anything to do with it for a long, long time.

Best thing he ever did was slide plastered drunk under the table at the press conference for winning the Americas cup.

As liberal as Ted is and as treasonous as Jane Fonda was in her youth, I don't think they have a fraction of the hate in their heart for America that Obama does.

The president of the United States you and me and wants to import ISIS solders to do his dirty work

Please don't misunderstand me Fonda and Tuner suck, Fonda is a traitor but the quislings at the CNN are from a whole another ring of hell, closer to the center. CNN/Fox/MSNBC just wants the world to burn so they can cover it.

The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam.

John Quincy Adams on Islam

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).
