Trump has come under intense fire after he attacked four first-term Democratic congresswomen known as the “Squad”. In a rare move, the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives on Tuesday rebuked Trump for “racist comments” after he said the four should “go back” to their countries of origin if they are not happy in the United States.
But chants of “Send her back!” directed at Somali-born congresswoman Ilhan Omar broke out at Trump’s “Make America Great Again” rally in Greenville, North Carolina on Wednesday night. Trump claimed to reporters in the Oval Office the following day that he was not pleased by the taunts and attempted to cut them short.
