Donald Trump: “We’re Going to Have to Start Thinking About” Racial Profiling

HeadlineJun 20, 2016

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has spoken out in favor of racial profiling in the wake of the Orlando killings. Trump told CBS’s “Face the Nation” profiling is “not the worst thing to do.”

Donald Trump: “I think profiling is something that we’re going to have to start thinking about as a country. And other countries do it. And you look at Israel and you look at others, and they do it, and they do it successfully. And, you know, I hate the concept of profiling, but we have to start using common sense, and we have to use—you know, we have to use our heads.”
