Racial profiling

CNN claims Trump called for 'racial' profiling (he didn't)

When Donald Trump reasserted his support Monday for profiling in order to combat the terror threat, his words apparently weren’t spicy enough for CNN – which decided to add its own flourish.

The Republican presidential nominee called for Israel-style profiling Monday on Fox News in the wake of bombings in New York and New Jersey, saying on "Fox & Friends" that Israel has done an “unbelievable job.”

“As you know in Israel they profile, they’ve done an unbelievable job -- as good as you can do,” Trump said. “And they’ll profile, they profile. They see somebody who’s suspicious, they profile, they will take that person and they’ll check [them] out.”

While Trump offered no criteria for how he would profile, CNN nevertheless reported that Trump was backing “racial profiling.”

CNN’s chyron late Monday said: “Trump says 'racial profiling' will stop terror” – despite Trump not using the word “racial.”
