Although she did not mention what "joke" she had made, Dingell referenced how she "got in trouble" in the previous week for comments she said regarding Trump. 

She added, "I think people do get disturbed by his language at times, and it makes people take a pause and think about it. And I have seen that impact people that I talked to a month ago." 

"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," Dingell said.

"Internment camps?" Tapper asked.

"Yes. He has talked internment camps," Dingell argued. "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, but he has talked about them in this with different groups of people."

Tapper remarked, "Well, I've heard him talking about rounding up undocumented migrants and, obviously, for that, you would need some sort of camp. But what do you mean internment camps for Muslims and Arabs?"

"He has spoken about that in different audiences. I don't have the exact citation right here, but I'll find it for you. And he's been very clear," Dingell said.
