The chairman of House Republicans’ campaign arm Rep. Tom Emmer criticized the “send her back” chant that rang out at Trump’s rally
The chairman of House Republicans’ campaign arm on Thursday criticized the “send her back” chant that animated the crowd at Donald Trump’s Wednesday night rally and added a new dimension to the president’s attacks on four Democratic freshman women.
Emmer also stopped short of directly criticizing Trump for his comments about Omar and three other Democratic lawmakers, all of whom are women of color, calling the controversy “manufactured.” “There’s not a racist bone in this president’s body,” Emmer said. “What he was trying to say, he said wrong. What he was trying to say is that if you don’t appreciate this country, you don’t have to be here. That goes for every one of us. That has nothing to do with your race, your gender, your family history. It has to do with respecting and loving your country.”
On one hand, Emmer became the latest Washington Republican to express discomfort with the behavior of the party’s base voters in the Trump era. But he also made no apologies for his committee’s combative tone in characterizing Democrats as far-left socialists.
