   Cindy McCain is apologizing after recently reporting suspected human   
   trafficking at the Phoenix airport because she saw a woman and child   
   together who were not the same race — but her fears turned out to be   
   unfounded.   
      
   Police investigated and said there was “no evidence” of wrongdoing,   
   according to local news.   
      
   Initially, the widow of Sen. John McCain told Arizona radio station KTAR   
   on Monday: “I came in from a trip I’d been on and I spotted — it looked   
   odd — it was a woman of a different ethnicity than the child, this little   
   toddler she had, and something didn’t click with me.”   
      
   “I went over to the police and told them what I saw, and they went over   
   and questioned her,” McCain, a co-chair of the Arizona governor’s Council   
   on Human Trafficking, recalled, “and, by God, she was trafficking that kid   
   … She was waiting for the guy who bought the child to get off an   
   airplane.”

   KTAR reports that Phoenix police looked into the incident at McCain’s   
   request.   
      
   But Sgt. Armando Carbajal told KTAR and the Arizona Republic that   
   authorities conducted a welfare check on a child at the airport on Jan. 30   
   and “officers determined there was no evidence of criminal conduct or   
   child endangerment.”   
      
   (Phoenix police did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.   
      
   Some critics online said McCain, 64, was acting out of bias. “Cindy McCain   
   racially profiled a family,” one Twitter user wrote.   
      
   Another tweeted, referring to Bridget McCain, “It’s especially baffling   
   because Cindy McCain herself has an adopted child of a ‘different   
   ethnicity’!”   
      
   McCain has since apologized for the confusion on Twitter, writing, “At   
   Phoenix Sky Harbor, I reported an incident that I thought was trafficking.   
   I commend the police officers for their diligence.”

   She continued: “I apologize if anything else I have said on this matter   
   distracts from ‘if you see something, say something,’ ” referencing the   
   Department of Homeland Security’s campaign to involve citizens in   
   “protecting our homeland.”   
      
   In a statement to PEOPLE on Thursday, the McCain Institute, where McCain   
   is the board of trustees, said she “was only thinking about the possible   
   ramifications of a criminal act not the color of the possible trafficker.”   
      
   “Cindy McCain has devoted her career to combating the scourge of Human   
   Trafficking at home in Arizona and around the world,” the institute said.   
   “Trafficking is a criminal enterprise that involves every age, gender and   
   race. Traffickers enslave their victims for profit. … [McCain’s] hyper   
   sensitivity to looking for trafficking in this instance was not correct,   
   but it should in no way distract from the broader importance that we all   
   have a responsibility to be aware of this kind of crime.   
      
   “This incident should in no way discourage anyone from reporting potential   
   trafficking issues to law enforcement.”

   Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in   
   denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016.  The clown car   
   parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump   
   truck.   
      
   Congratulations President Trump.  Thank you for cleaning up the disaster   
   of the Obama presidency.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.   
      
   ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its   
   supporters can dispute that.   
      
   Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum   
   wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare.  It can't   
   be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great   
   it is.   
      
   Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight   
   years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer   
   liberal democrat donors.
