All true, but it’s still not LITERALLY putting words in anyone’s mouth, Jazz. Please stop saying “literally” all the time.

LITERALLY lying about what Trump said would be accurate, but they only figuratively put words in his mouth.

In this case, CNN attributed the phrase "racial profiling" to Trump, by using quotes. Now, "words in the mouth" doesn't really have a literal meaning, because literally the only things in our mouths are teeth, tongue, palate, gums, saliva, fillings maybe, dentures maybe, some skin, and air.

All that said, I think that this time, claiming that CNN literally put words in Trump's mouth is not incorrect. They attributed exact words to Trump, that Trump did not say.

If t's a direct quote, then yes, that is putting words in person's mouth. Except maybe at DU.

That's what happened when Hillary invented "writing."
