Are The Dem Dramatics About Trump Even Helpful?
Rep. Debbie Dingell insisted to CNN’s Jake Tapper that former President Donald Trump has plans to build “internment camps” and she may end up a prisoner in one of them.

The Arab American community
needs to be reminded and cannot forget.
He wants to ban Muslims,
he wants to deport Muslims
and he wants to start internment camps.
And that's what we are
busy talking to every voter.
He's telling you what he's going to do.
Believe him.
Internment camps?
[00:00:16]
Yes, he is talking internment camps.
You know what, Jake?
You may have to visit me in one.
I get worried enough
when he talks about what he's going to do
to his political enemies.
Okay.
On yesterday's episode of the lead
representative, Democratic representative,
[00:00:33]
of course, Debbie Dingell told Jake Tapper
that Trump was going to send her
to an internment camp.
But unfortunately, she's far from the only
pundit and lawmaker who's panicked about
the possibility of being thrown in prison
or an internment camp.
[00:00:49]
Should Donald Trump
get elected for a second term?
In fact, let's watch a clip from
yesterday's episode of The View, in which
Mika Brzezinski also broke down on air.
Let's watch.
This is the descent into fascism,
if we so choose.
[00:01:07]
Normalizing January 6th.
It's a day of love.
The day of love.
I'll say it again and again and again.
Normalizing enemy from within.
I'll say it again and again.
I'll say it again and again.
Until you get tired of it.
Until it's not so funny anymore.
Or you think he doesn't mean it.
Until you realize he does mean it
and it's too late.
[00:01:25]
Saying these strict abortion bans
are a beautiful thing.
Are you kidding me?
We got to wake up.
And here's the good news.
Because I come with such dire warnings and
I mean them from the bottom of my heart.
[00:01:40]
As a daughter of refugees who came
here escaping war, came here for America
to be a part of a democracy,
to be a part of building something
beautiful where they could be free.
[00:01:56]
I'm telling you,
the good news is that I believe women will
be the beacon in this election.
Am I losing my mind in feeling that
this hyperbolic rhetoric is not helpful?
[00:02:14]
Yeah, well, 50 over 50 in my opinion.
So when Debbie Dingell says
he's going to start internment camps,
he never said that.
That is not helpful.
On that, you're 100% right,
because once he says something that he
didn't say, then not only the right wing,
[00:02:33]
but independents will discount every other
thing you've said, not just every other
thing you've said, but every every other
thing that anyone on the left has said.
He never said internment camps.
Don't say that.
Now, on the other hand, Republicans, you
keep denying something he 100% did say.
[00:02:51]
He said, I want a total and complete
shutdown on Muslims entering the country.
That was back when he was running in 2016.
Everybody keeps you know why they pretend
that he didn't say that?
Because that sounds uncomfortable.
Because it's obviously bigoted.
Okay, he did say that Donald Trump
says a lot of dumb crap.
[00:03:10]
Okay. A lot of hateful crap.
A lot of dumb crap.
A lot of undemocratic crap.
But, like, let's just finish
the rest of the story, right?
Because he said that about the Muslim ban.
He tried to implement the Muslim ban.
And then what happened, Jake?
What happened after that?
[00:03:25]
- We fought.
- Back.
Right? And people went to the airports.
Good Americans know
that didn't matter at all.
Okay.
That action, I know it makes us
feel real good about ourselves.
I'm not trying to discount it,
but we have a system in place, okay?
We have a judicial system.
[00:03:41]
It went through the courts,
it was challenged in the courts,
and it was struck down.
Yeah, I got you, but I'm not going
to take a chance on a guy who says,
I like to ban you and your family because
you guys are so dirty and inferior to us.
And I think you're violent savages.
So I'm going to ban you.
I'm not going to take a chance
on that guy.
[00:03:58]
Number one. Number two.
He actually tried it.
He had to be stopped
before he did his fascist idea.
Okay, number three people saw all that
and were like, yay, I love Trump!
Let's ban Muslims! Yay!
Be honest. Be honest.
[00:04:13]
Okay, so we want to take another shot
at number 3 or 4 whatever I'm on.
He has his own dumbass judges
now littering the country.
So one of them threw out a perfectly
good criminal case against him and very,
very important criminal case against him.
So maybe we run into a judge
because, yeah, I think the Muslims
[00:04:30]
are dirty, violent savages.
I'm just as bigoted and racist
as Donald Trump.
I do let it stand.
I mean, Trump is saying, let's deport
anyone who criticizes and protests Israel
on a college campus, not just arrest.
- He says, arrest them and deport them.
- No, I know he says that.
[00:04:47]
- Okay.
- So is he going to try to do that?
Of course he's going to try to do that.
How would that process work,
considering the majority of these
individuals are American citizens?
So where exactly were he? Okay, so.
First of all,
all the non-Americans are screwed.
You came here, you paid a lot of money
to go to, you know, wherever you're going,
[00:05:02]
Syracuse, Penn State,
wherever you're going.
Right?
And he's like, yeah, that's it.
You're screwed.
You criticize Israel and want.
My biggest donor
is a giant right wing Israeli.
Okay, so that's it. You're arrested.
I rob you of all your money, I rob
you of your diploma, and I deport you.
[00:05:18]
I'm not going
to elect a monster like that.
Debbie Dingell,
you don't have to go to internment camps.
He already said all this crazy stuff,
so stop making us lose credibility.
On the other hand, right wingers,
if you're making excuses
for how anti-Muslim he is,
he uses the word Palestinian as an insult.
[00:05:35]
He doesn't care
about Muslim lives one bit.
Donald Trump is deeply racist
and he says deeply racist things.
Okay, I want to make a distinction
between Donald Trump, the person who says
and does racist things,
and the notion of a fascist,
[00:05:53]
because, look, if we're just going
to use fascist toward anyone we dislike,
all right, then the word
doesn't actually mean anything.
Okay.
- What do you.
- Want me to say, Anna?
You want me to say wannabe dictator?
Sure, you can say wannabe dictator,
but I don't even think
he wants to be a dictator.
- Of course.
- He does.
That's what you do
when you lose an election and you go,
[00:06:09]
oh, I got fake electors,
and I'd like to terminate the Constitution
and bring out the tanks
and use martial law against
American citizens and shoot protesters.
I mean, if that's not fascist, then
I guess the word just shouldn't exist.
But was he able to do those things?
[00:06:24]
First of all, his entire cabinet had
to threaten, not cabinet administration.
His white House team had to say,
we're all going to mass resign if you roll
out tanks against American citizens.
Okay, so if you think he's a fascist,
wouldn't that justify
taking physical action against him?
[00:06:40]
No, because that doesn't help.
- That devolves us further into fascism.
- Yeah, exactly.
But there's a difference between
somebody shooting someone that's fascism
and saying I disagree with them.
Don't elect a fascist prick who says only
white people are awesome and everybody
[00:06:58]
else is garbage and should be banned?
No, I'm not going to take a chance
with a monster like that.
I know you're focusing on whether or not
you're going to vote for him.
I don't give a damn about that.
And that's not
what I'm asking you about, Jake.
I don't think that this rhetoric,
especially from elected members
[00:07:14]
of Congress, is helpful at a time.
- Okay.
- All right.
Okay.
Well, Anna, why do I not agree?
Because so Trump's helpful is rhetoric.
Trump's no.
- His rhetoric is.
- Awful.
Okay.
If you don't want to be called fascist,
stop saying fascist things.
It's not that hard. Okay?
Not that hard.
[00:07:30]
Oh, here, let me have dinner
with Nick Fuentes.
Who's a Nazi?
Kanye. Who's a Nazi?
Let me say there's good people
on the Nazi side.
Oh, it could be pro-Confederate guys.
Might be guys who are pro slavery,
who are good guys.
Let me do all of these things.
Let me say that immigrants
are poisoning the blood of our nation.
And Nazi term
that is only used in the past by Nazis
[00:07:49]
and then say, I'm going to ban Muslims,
I'm going to do this and this and this
to all the other ethnic groups
and then go, oh, I can't believe
you called me a fascist.
No, he is a fascist.
I'm very happy to call him a fascist.
