Trump defends racial profiling in wake of bombs

Israeli security forces routinely conduct general roundups for questioning or during specific investigations. During a lengthy interview with Fox and Friends, Trump accused the New York City Police Department of knowing who the terrorists are before they attack, but allowing the attacks to happen anyway. “What I said is you have to stop them from coming into our country”. And they’ll profile. They profile. But, he said, “they’re 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”. If a person looks suspicious in Israel, “they will take that person in”. “They will check out”. Do we have a choice? Do we really have a choice? “We’re going after the bad guys and we’re going to get them, but we’re not going to go after an entire religion”, she said.

“Let us remember there are millions and millions of naturalized citizens from all over the world”, Clinton said. “We don’t know what the hell we’re doing”.

“I heard – I didn’t see it – but I heard I was criticized for calling it correctly”, Trump told the Fox News morning crew. But what I said was exactly correct and everybody says while he was right, he called it too soon. He said: “I should be a newscaster because I called it before the news”.

The Democratic presidential nominee took questions from reporters Monday morning about the weekend bombings in Manhattan and New Jersey, which officials say increasingly look like acts of terrorism with a foreign connection.

The interview came after the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced that it was searching for a naturalized Afghan citizen, Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28, of New Jersey, in connection with an explosion in a New York City neighborhood and at a New Jersey train station. It was not clear what his role in the incident is thought to be.

While violent acts of terrorism are undoubtedly becoming a greater concern in the US, further cautionary steps need to be carried out at local levels to prevent radicalization of Muslims.

“Maybe we’re going to be seeing a big change over the last couple of days”. He should be a newscaster: Better for the Trump News Network’s eponymous host to debate Alex Jones about whether the auto backfire they just heard was radical Islamic terrorism – or just Hillary’s latest false-flag operation – than for President Trump to hear it and order his mosque patrol to start “getting tough”.
