Michigan Democrat hyperventilates over nonexistent Trump plan to put political enemies in camps



Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) explained why she recently remarked that former President Donald Trump will put political opponents in internment camps should he win next week's election.

Dingell told CNN's Jake Tapper that Trump wants to put Muslims in internment camps after being asked about the support he is receiving from the Muslim community in Michigan. She then told Tapper, "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."

'You stand by that remark?'

Dingell was pressed on her comments during an interview with Fox News host Neil Cavuto.

"No, I don't regret those comments. And I'm going to be very ..." Dingell said.

"You really think you would be thrown in an internment camp? You? A sitting U.S. congresswoman?" Cavuto interjected.

"I said it half-sarcastically," she replied. "Donald Trump has been very clear that he is going to go what he calls 'the enemy from within.' I think we're all Americans, and you can disagree agreeably. He names his enemies by name."

Dingell then gave a false impression of what Trump said about former Congresswoman Liz Cheney needing to fight in wars she advocates for to know the full impact of such decisions. Dingell then incorrectly described the enhanced security measures during Trump's first term for countries with terrorism as a Muslim ban.

"You stand by that remark? You stand by the internment-camp remark? And was that to put fear into voters' minds in your state?" Cavuto asked again.

Dingell repeated that Trump talked about "internment camps" despite Cavuto pointing out he could find no evidence of such language from Trump.

The Trump campaign has called Dingell's comments a "HOAX."

"Top Kamala surrogate Debbie Dingell pushes an absurd, dangerous lie that President Trump will put his political enemies, Muslims, and Arab Americans in 'internment camps.'"

House Democrat vows to take action over colleague's scandalous remarks on Hamas, rape: 'I will speak the truth'



Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) promised on Monday to confront her colleague Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) about comments she made regarding Hamas' use of rape in their Oct. 7 attack.

On Sunday, Jayapal ignited outrage by asserting that criticism of Hamas for using rape as a weapon of war should be "balanced" while at the same time downplaying the significance of what Hamas did by claiming rape just "happens" in wartime.

Those comments necessitate a frank conversation, Dingell responded.

"I'm going to talk to Pramila, I have a call in to her," the congresswoman said on CNN. "I'm raw on this subject because of the hate that I have had directed at me for speaking the truth. I will speak the truth. And I don’t care who it is. Rape is an act of violence, and it becomes too often a tool in any act of war."

What exactly happened to Dingell? According to the Michigan Democrat, in the immediate aftermath of Hamas' attack, she condemned the terrorist group's use of rape, which led to public attacks.

"Palestinian men went after me, called me a liar, demanded I retract it. I got doxxed over the subject. I have spent the last seven weeks researching the raping of women that has occurred in the Middle East. It is outrageous. I condemn it," she said.

Dingell, moreover, did what the White House refused to do.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked on Monday if the Biden administration believes Jayapal's comments were "appropriate." Jean-Pierre condemned Hamas but outright refused to address the appropriateness of Jayapal's remarks.

The documentation of violence that Hamas perpetrated against women is extensive. Yet Palestinian apologists have dodged acknowledging and condemning it outright. It took about two months, for example, before U.N. Women, the United Nations agency tasked with advocating for women and girls, condemned Hamas for its attack.

In the wake of Jayapal's comments, Dingell and Rep. Lois Frankel (D-Fla.) plan to introduce a resolution specifically condemning Hamas for perpetrating sexual violence against women.
