President Trump muted his previous criticisms of a campaign crowd that chanted “send her back” about a Somali-born congresswoman, defending the rally-goers as “patriots” while again questioning the loyalty of four Democratic lawmakers of color.
President Trump on Friday muted his previous criticisms of a North Carolina campaign crowd that chanted “send her back” about a Somali-born congresswoman, defending the rally-goers as “patriots” while again questioning the loyalty of four Democratic lawmakers of color.
It was another dizzying twist in a saga sparked by the president’s racist tweets about Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, who moved from Somalia as a child, and her colleagues Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.The moment took an ugly turn at the rally when the crowd’s “send her back” shouts resounded for 13 seconds as Trump made no attempt to interrupt them.
He also tweeted that it was “amazing how the Fake News Media became ‘crazed’ over the chant ‘send her back’ by a packed Arena crowd in the Great State of North Carolina, but is totally calm & accepting of the most vile and disgusting statements made by the three Radical Left Congresswomen.”Omar was defiant Thursday, telling reporters at the Capitol that she believes the president is a “fascist” and casting the confrontation as a fight over “what this country truly should be.
Trump’s action was reminiscent of his response to the violent clash between white supremacists and anti-racist demonstrators in Charlottesville, Va., in August 2017. The chants at the Trump rally brought criticism from GOP lawmakers as well as from Democrats, though the Republicans did not fault Trump himself.
