Meyers: Muslims and Terrorists Aren’t Synonyms Like Trump and Presidential

‘I think Trump could learn a thing or two from actual New Yorkers who showed just how calm they can be in the face of crisis’

MEYERS: "As he's done before, Trump exploited this whole ordeal to call for draconian policies like profiling and a ban on refugees. But I think Trump could learn a thing or two from actual New Yorkers who showed just how calm they can be in the face of crisis. You know what New Yorkers did the day after the bombing? They got on trains with Muslims. They rode in cabs with Muslims. They were protected by Muslim police officers. They worked and played alongside Muslims, because New Yorkers know that Muslim and terrorists are not synonyms. Kind of like Trump and presidential. This has been 'A Closer Look.'"
