Social media claims that the United Nations called President Donald Trump a 'racist' have gone viral, but the truth behind the UN's report is more nuanced.
The UN's Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) did flag 'racist hate speech' used by Trump and other GOP leaders, but it did not explicitly call Trump a racist.
The report singled out Trump's comments for their alleged racist undertones and accused US immigration agencies of 'systematic use of racial profiling' and 'arbitrary identity checks.'
The White House responded by accusing the UN's CERD of 'extreme bias' and claimed that President Trump is delivering on his promise to make the country safe again.
