On Wednesday night, Trump stated his sympathies plainly, and it was no less shocking and appalling for it being far from the first time he’s done so.
All the congresswomen were born in the United States with the exception of Omar, a refugee from Somalia and naturalized U.S. citizen, who seems to have particularly gotten under Trump’s skin, and his supporters have noticed. While the president was singling out Omar for criticism in an extended rant, CNN reports that the crowd began chanting “Send her back! Send her back!” Trump did not interrupt or calm their calls for the deportation of a U.S. congresswoman.
Trump, in his typical fashion, branded himself a winner of this fight from the outset, despite the fact that the House voted 240-187 on Tuesday to condemn his tweets about the four congresswomen as “racist.” According to the Washington Post, Trump boasted at the rally, “I think the story is that 187 Republicans voted in favor of Trump and four voted against. There is great unity in the Republican Party.
