S.F. Mayor to Resist Trump ‘Muslim Registry’ He Never Proposed

San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee vowed Friday evening to “resist” a registry of Muslim Americans allegedly proposed by President-elect Donald Trump, likening it to the policy of President (and Democrat) Franklin Delano Roosevelt of interning Japanese-Americans during the Second World War.
There is one problem, however: Trump never made that proposal. Mayor Lee evidently fell for a prominent example of “fake news.”
The idea of a “registry” was invented by journalists, as explained by Breitbart News in 2015:
Step 1: Seed. The lie begins with a Yahoo! profile in which Trump is asked, supposedly (the reporter does not provide his exact question), if he would “require registering Muslims in a database or giving them a form of special identification that noted their religion.”
