Related: About this forumTrump supporters chant 'send her back' as president accuses Congresswoman Omar of
Published 1 min ago on July 17, 2019 By Sarah K. Burris
President Donald Trump went through a series of things he said Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) had said that he deemed anti-American. He said that she belittled 9/11 and a slew of other accusations that were racially charged.
His crowd booed each thing he checked off of the box things he hated about her. But then the crowd began chanting send her back! Send her back!
Omar is an immigrant from Somalia who emigrated along with her parents when she was just 12 years old. Her family claimed asylum from their war-torn country.
Trump said on Twitter that he believed she along with three other Congresswomen of color should be sent back to the countries theyre from. Trumps campaign and Republicans proceeded to spend the days that followed, saying that Trump simply wanted them to leave the U.S. if they didnt like it so much. Todays chant from his supporters proved once again, that the love it or leave it spin isnt working.

Ilhan Omar is my representative. She won this district with 78% of the vote; she holds her seat because a large majority of the citizens of MN CD5 wanted her to have it. That's the way the system is supposed to work. For the president* to be publicly slagging a duly elected member of Congress insults not only her, but the 267,703 people who voted for her, and for that matter our entire fucking democracy.

to assassinate her. This is sick.
