I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW IT OR NOT, BUT HERE IS PART OF THE COMMENTARY ON THAT. >> 9/11 WAS AN ATTACK ON ALL AMERICANS, ON ALL OF US, AND I CERTAINLY COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE WEIGHT OF THE PAIN THAT THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES OF THE 9/11 MUST FEEL. I WAS SPEAKING TO THE FACT THAT AS A MUSLIM, NOT ONLY WAS I SUFFERING AS AN AMERICAN WHO WAS ATTACKED ON THAT DAY, BUT THE NEXT DAY I WOKE UP AS MY FELLOW AMERICANS WERE NO TREATING ME AS A SUSPECT. >> Bill: SHE HAS BEEN IN THE SPOTLIGHT EVER SINCE SHE WENT TO WASHINGTON. QUESTIONS LIKE THAT, A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT HER EXPLANATION WAS. THERE YOU HAVE IT. I CERTAINLY COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE PAIN THAT THE FAMILIES WERE FEELING, BUT THEN SHE SAID THAT SHE WOKE UP AS MY FELLOW AMERICANS WENT OUT TREATING ME AS A SUSPECT. YOU TAKE THAT AT FACE VALUE, THAT WAS HER EXPERIENCE. WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THE EXPLANATION? >> THIS IS ALL IN THE CONTEXT OF HER STATEMENT THAT SOME PEOPLE DID SOMETHING, WHICH IS HOW SHE DESCRIBED THE ATTACKS ON OUR COUNTRY. SHE WAS ASKED ABOUT PEOPLE FINDING THAT OFFENSIVE. SHE DIDN'T TAKE BACK HER WORDS. SHE DIDN'T SAY THAT SHE WAS SORRY. SHE MADE SEPTEMBER 11TH ALL ABOUT WHAT SHE WAS FEELING. HOW CAN SHE NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT WAS LIKE? EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT THAT'S LIKE. BUT SHE SAID, IT IS NOT AND WHAT YOU JUST SHOWED, BUT MANY AMERICANS HAD THEIR CIVIL LIBERTIES STRIPPED AFTER SEPTEMBER 11TH STRIP, WHICH IS NOT TRUE. NOBODY HAD THEIR CIVIL LIBERTIES STRIPPED. THAT IS WHAT WE WERE PROTECTING. I FIND HER LACK OF EXPLANATION TO BE TERRIBLY TROUBLING STILL. SHE DOESN'T GET A SENSE OF WHAT WAS. >> Bill: HERE IS HOW SHE COULD BE AN AMERICAN HERO. JUST EXPLAIN YOUR STORY. BORN IN SOMALIA, GREW UP IN A REFUGEE CAMP IN KENYA. I BELIEVE HER FAMILY WAS GRANTED GREEN CARDS TO COME TO THE U.S. SHE WAS AND OTHERS IN HER FAMILY. NOW SHE IS A MEMBER OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. THAT IS AN AMERICAN SUCCESS STORY. MAYBE SHE WOULD FLY THE FLAG ON THAT. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE WOULD ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET FOR HER. >> ALL THAT IS TRUE ABOUT HER BACKGROUND, BUT IT DOESN'T EXCUSE HER WHEN SHE SAYS SOME PEOPLE DID SOMETHING. NO. NO PEOPLE DID SOMETHING. WHAT HAPPENED WAS WE WERE ATTACKED BY RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS, AND HER FAILURE TO SAY THAT IS THE BEGINNING OF HER PROBLEM. THAT SHE STILL WANT TO ATONE FOR IT. IT IS A STORY, AND I THINK AT HEART, SHE IS TOO MUCH OF A RADICAL. I REALLY THINK YOU SEE IN HER, IN HER ANTI-ISRAEL STATEMENTS, OR OFFENSIVE STATEMENTS ABOUT REPUBLICANS, ABOUT THE PRESIDENT, OR DESIRE TO IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT, THE WAY THAT SHAPED FRAMES THAT ISSUE. HEARING HOW OFFENSIVE IT IS, EVEN IN THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 11, FOR THE FAMILIES WHO GATHER ONCE A YEAR TO COMMEMORATE IT, SHE COULD FIND IT IN HERSELF TO DESCRIBE
