demonstration and that i'm surgeon hundreds of people have told him they saw the same thing because hundreds of people have told me they saw the same thing that i'm wrong. i don't think we should fact check memory, and i also think most of the american people have moved past this debate and want to talk about other things that i did in the interview. >> you wrote recently -- i want to get this right. you said that trump has "turned the terrorism debate into an extension of the immigration debate that powered his candidacy this summer." what do you mean by that? >> why is donald trump going on and on and on about this? it's not just that he's dishonest. it's that he's dishonest about something which is very, very important. what he's implicitly doing is questioning the loyalty of american muslims. he's also called for closing mosques. he's talked about registering muslims. he moved from demonizing mexicans in the summer to now demonizing muslims after the paris attack. we're seeing the number of attacks against mosques in the month of november is staggering. every two or three days now, another mosque is either threatened or shot up or vandalized, and it's the climate that people like him are creating. that's why this matters. >> amanda, what do you make of all this? two months away from the first primary voting and trump is still leading big.
