>>> I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO >>> I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE, SOME OF THE AMERICANS LIKE COREEN AS HE POINTED OUT A PROUD HAITIAN AMERICAN WHO'S COMMUNITY IS UNDER ATTACK. SIMPLY WRONG. THERE'S NO PLACE IN AMERICA, THIS HAS TO STOP WHAT HE'S DOING. IT HAS TO STOP. >> Reporter: IT'S GOT TO STOP. WHAT DONALD TRUMP IS DOING HAS TO STOP. YOU KNOW THE WHAT. DONALD TRUMP'S DEBATE STAGE DELIRIUM ABOUT DOGS AND CATS ARE IN DANGEROUS. WE'RE NOT GOING TO REPEAT US BUT IT'S WHAT TRUMP WANTS US TO DO. AS OMAR SAID PERFECTLY. >> THE INSANITY OF HAVING A SENATOR, A CANDIDATE FOR VICE PRESIDENT AND A FORMER PRESIDENT AND NOW A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT REALLY TALKING ABOUT LEANING INTO REALITY A RACIST CONSPIRACY DANGEROUS STORY LIKE THIS. WHAT IT MEANS IS THAT, THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE NOW WHO ARE LOOKING FOR STORIES TO MAKE THIS TRUE. AND IT GINS UP THIS DANGEROUS REACTION BY FOLKS WHO ARE UNSTABLE. >> WE SHOULD NOTE THAT CONGRESSWOMAN OMAR CAME TO THIS COUNTRY AS A CHILD REFUGEE. COUNTRY AS A CHILD REFUGEE. SHE'S BEEN OUTSPOKEN ABOUT THE PERSISTENT. AND LET'S SAY A FORMER PRESIDENT SAYS IT AND SUDDENLY IT'S EVERYWHERE. THE INVESTIGATIONS INTO THIS MADE UP THING. SUDDENLY THE MADE UP THING THAT DIDN'T EXIST A WEEK AGO COMES UP AT THE CHECK OUT COUNTER. HEY DID YOU HEAR ABOUT, PEOPLE HAVE NOW BEEN FORCED TO ENCOUNTER THE MADE UP THING AND CONSIDER IT. IT'S INESCAPABLE. YOU HAVE BEEN PROVOKED INTO IMAGINING IT. THE FACT CHECK IS INSUFFICIENT. BECAUSE IT PUT IT INTO YOUR MIND AND PEOPLE OUT THERE WILL BELIEVE IT AND ACT ON IT. SOME REPUBLICANS ARE UPSET BECAUSE TRUMP DOING RACISM OUTLOUD IS HIGHLY INCONVENIENT IN AN ELECTION YEAR. IN FACT, OHIO'S REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR MIKE DEWINE WENT ON CBS NEWS TO SAY, IT'S JUST NOT TRUE. IN A PRETTY MILDLY MOUTH WAY BUT HE WAS THERE TO TESTIFY AGAINST IT. THE GOVERNOR OF OHIO, THE LOCATION FOR THIS PARTICULARLY DREADFUL THING, SHOULD KNOW, IT IS NOT TRUE. BUT HE ALSO SAID THIS. >> THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAME UP ON THE INTERNET. THE INTERNET CAN BE QUITE CRAZY SOMETIMES. >> OH, YEAH. IT'S THE INTERNET. NO. IT'S NOT THE INTERNET. IT CAME UP BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP BROUGHT IT UP ON NATIONAL TELEVISION AT A DEBATE AND 67 MILLION PEOPLE WATCHED HIM DO IT. THIS OHIO CITY HALL WAS NOT EVACUATED BECAUSE OF THE INTERNET. THESE OHIO CHILDREN WERE NOT SENT HOME IN FEAR FROM THEIR SCHOOLS TODAY DENIED THEIR RIGHT TO AN EDUCATION, BECAUSE OF THE INTERNET. IT WAS BECAUSE OF DONALD TRUMP. DONALD TRUMP IS PUSHING A RACIST, DANGEROUS LIE BECAUSE HE KNOWS SOME PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE IT. THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR OF OHIO MADE HEADLINES EARLIER THIS YEAR FOR SAYING HE WOULD NOT ENDORSE DONALD TRUMP AND HE WOULD NOT CAMPAIGN FOR DONALD TRUMP. WHEN HE WAS INTERVIEWED, IN THIS INTERVIEW TO DISPEL TRUMP'S RACIST LIES ABOUT THINGS GOING ON IN HIS STATE. HE MADE SEVERAL SUBSTANTIVE POINTS INCLUDING SPEAKING UP FOR THE CHARACTER AND WORK ETHIC OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE RECENTLY ARRIVED IN HIS STATE. THAT THEY ARE HARD WORKERS. HIS WORDS, WHO WANT TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILIES. HIS WORDS. AND SEEK A BETTER LIFE. GOVERNOR DEWINE TALKED ABOUT WANTING TO DO BETTER AT LOCAL STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS TO RESPOND TO THEIR SPECIFIC NEEDS. THESE NEW PEOPLE TO AMERICA. AND YET THE GOVERNOR OF OHIO PROTECTED DONALD TRUMP BY BLAMING THE INTERNET INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY BLAMING DONALD TRUMP. BUT OF COURSE HE'S VOTING FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE. WHO IS, DONALD TRUMP. NO REPUBLICAN IS CALLING FOR TRUMP TO DROP OUT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE OVER THE RACIST; DANGEROUS MADE UP LIE AS HE PREDICTED. DONALD TRUMP COULD SHOOT SOMEONE ON FIFTH AVENUE AND QUOTE NOT LOSE ANY VOTERS, END QUOTE. BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LOSE THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR OF OHIO WITH THIS ONE. >> I CERTAINLY SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP. >> OF COURSE YOU DO. WHAT WILL IT TAKE? WHERE IS THE BOTTOM? IS THERE A BOTTOM? NO REPUBLICAN WHO SUPPORTS DONALD TRUMP SHOULD BE ABLE TO CLAIM DISTANCE FROM WHAT DONALD TRUMP SUPPORTS. OPENLY, AND REPEATEDLY AS HE DID IN THAT DEBATE. WE DON'T NEED TO CHASE DONALD TRUMP'S MADE UP THING. WE CAN CHASE THE WANT TO BE RESPECTABLE REPUBLICANS WHO SAY THEY WILL VOTE FOR HIM AND DEMAND TO KNOW IF THAT IS STILL TRUE. IT IS WORTH REMEMBERING THE RECENT HISTORY THAT SOLVED THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ACTIVATED BY
