“We have your back,” some of her supporters shouted in Minnesota as others chanted, "Welcome home!"
Rep. Ilhan Omar , flying home after a whirlwind week dueling with the president over a series of racist attacks, was met by a coalition of cheering supporters in Minnesota on Thursday evening.
Omar addressed the group shortly after her arrival, saying she planned to continue to work on behalf of her district “because you all send me to Washington to do the important work of progressing our country.” Trump’s comments quickly drew a sharp rebuke from the four women of color, who called them “blatantly racist” and said Trump was feeding into white nationalist talking points. But the president stuck to his own rhetoric, saying Omar and the others hated America and that “if they don’t like it, let them leave.”
