After Bombings, Trump Calls Muslim Immigrants “Cancer from Within”

HeadlineSep 20, 2016

In reaction to the weekend bombings, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump lashed out at all Muslim immigrants and refugees, calling them a “cancer from within,” and suggested that American security forces should follow Israel’s example in racial profiling, during an interview on Fox News.

Donald Trump: “We’re going to have to hit them much harder over there, and we’re going to have to find out—you know, our police are amazing. Our local police, they know who a lot of these people are. 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. You know, in Israel, they profile. They’ve done an unbelievable job, as good as you can do. We’re trying to be so politically correct in our country, and this is only going to get worse. This isn’t going to get better. And what I said is, you have to stop them from coming into the country.”
