They no more fit that than the equivalent Republicans.

Show me any analysis based on actual data that says large numbers of any population fit Trump’s claims.
That's because he was always referring to a specific portion of any population, and the ethnicity or race was not the critical factor. But I understand why you want it always to be about the "population," not about specific people.

And because "those things exist . . . in all people," then we should point out when some of the people do those things if those things are not right.
