'The Democrat party is now being led by four left-wing extremists who reject everything that we hold dear.' Trump once again attacks the 'squad' at Cincinnati campaign rally
CINCINNATI — President Donald Trump opened a revved-up rally Thursday in Cincinnati by tearing into the Democrats he has been elevating as his new political foils, with attacks on four liberal congresswomen of color and their party's leadership of cities.
But the fleeting mention did not lead to further chants. Nor did an extended attack on Democratic leaders of urban areas, which Trump has laced into in recent days as part of his incendiary broadsides against Rep. Elijah Cummings and the majority-black city of Baltimore. At Thursday's rally, Trump declared,"I don't want to be controversial." He suggested to his supporters hours earlier that he did not want to hear the chant about Omar, an American citizen who moved to the United States as a child.
Story continuesThe chant followed racist tweets Trump sent against Omar and three other first-term lawmakers of color, instructing them to get out of the U.S."right now" and saying if the lawmakers"hate our country," they can"go back" to their"broken and crime-infested" countries. Republican Rep. Steve Chabot, who represents a Cincinnati-area district, said Wednesday he hoped the crowd will avoid such chants this time, and he thinks Trump will react more quickly if does happen.
Days later, the Greenville crowd's"Send her back!" shouts resounded for 13 seconds as Trump paused in his speech and took in the uproar.
