The crowd at a rally held by President Trump in Greenville, North Carolina, chanted “send her back” after the president brought up Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar.
“And obviously and importantly, Omar has a history of launching vicious anti-Semitic screeds,” Trump said at the Wednesday rally.
The crowd promptly started chanting “send her back” repeatedly.
The chants come after Trump told Omar and her progressive allies to “go back” to their home countries.
So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly……

….it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!

Omar, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley held a press conference condemning the comments as xenophobic and racist.
Trump spent large portions of his North Carolina rally to escalate his feud with the four progressive congresswomen.
“These left-wing ideologues see our nation as a force of evil. The way they speak so badly of our country. They want to demolish our Constitution. Weaken our military. Eliminate the values that built this magnificent country. You have to look at some of their recent comments, which are never talked about. When you see the four congresswoman, oh isn’t that lovely,” Trump said.
