CNN is falsely accusing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump of calling for “racial profiling” in the wake of the recent terror attacks. In articles such as “Trump defends racial profiling in wake of bombs,” posted Tuesday morning, and in on-air commentary, CNN adopts the Hillary Clinton campaign’s rhetoric, and implicitly accepts the left-wing argument that profiling people based on country of origin or based on religion is necessarily “racial profiling,” and hence racist, and wrong.
Trump’s exact quote, given to Fox News Fox and Friends on Monday morning, was:
Our police are amazing. Our local police — they know who a lot of these people are. They are afraid to do anything about it because they don’t want to be accused of profiling and they don’t want to be accused of all sorts of things. You know, in Israel they profile. They’ve done an unbelievable job, as good as you can do. But Israel has done an unbelievable job, and they’ll profile. They see somebody that’s suspicious, they will profile. They will take that person and they’ll check out. Do we have a choice? Look what’s going on. Do we really have a choice? We’re trying to be so politically correct in our country. And this is only going to get worse.
Note that Trump never once used the term “racial.” The quote was reported by several Israeli news outlets without further comment, and without the word “racial,” because he accurately described certain Israeli practices — such as screening people in airport security lines, for example, where officials will ask passengers questions about their communities, their education, and their religion, often going into considerable detail to determine whether any individual poses a likely security risk.

Did they say which races he wanted to profile?
CNN: Certainly Not News
Another day, another example of media malpractice.
Go, Trump, GO!
So Dem support of such Lefty ideas as “white privilege” and organizations like BLM doesn’t involve racial profiling... of whites?
Racial identifying is a better term.
There is nothing wrong with racial profiling. Just like there is nothing wrong with waterboarding.
We need to be brave enough to say it. If all terrorist attacks are committed by men of Middle Eastern decent, then it’s pretty stupid to look at anyone else.
Because we cannot handle the truth...(sarc)
-—CNN is falsely accusing...-—
So what else is new?
“Another day, another example of media malpractice.”
A good point, I was thinking this morning about the legal justification of suing media who can be shown to intentionally lie to promote or harm a candidate...
He should sue. Big time.
The Liberal mind is so simple and undifferentiated that it is unable to hear “profiling” without also hearing “racial.” They have never considered that the two words aren’t permanently fused: racialprofiling.
Absolutely! Profiling is valuable tool to include racial profiling. Just shows how much the left is in control of our language and how PC it all is.
Muslim is not a race........
Country of origin is not a race...
Number 105 in a series, The, “CNN falsely accuses Trump”, series, that is...
This election is also about our pathetic liberal media.
FOX called CNN out on this this morning and Trump called them out on BOR last night.
CNN is the Clintoon News Network - everyone knows it. They LIE to America just to protect Hillary - amazing for a so called once respected global news organization.
Nothing is going to change in this country until some higher up the ladder political “dofuss”, some arrogant news media person or some other “important/self important” person is either directly or indirectly impacted by a terrorist attack of some sort. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time will “turn on the bulb” of said “important” victim(s) when they realize that this is actually happening here and no one is immune.
CNN must first prove “Muslim” is a race.
