“The Squad” should applaud America for all she has done for them but instead they put America down every day.
This actions by the progressive wing of the Democratic party were taken seriously by President Trump who decided to react and condemn the un-American comment made by them.
But it seems that the situation is getting out of control.
Social media erupted with criticism on Wednesday evening after some in the crowd at a campaign rally for Donald Trump in Greenville, North Carolina, chanted “Send her back!” after the president criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).
The chant was short-lived and began as President Trump began criticizing Omar for her history of antisemitic comments. Trump did not appear to anticipate the chant, or to encourage it, and did not react to it in real-time.
Watch the video below:
Omar herself took to Twitter late Wednesday to respond to the Trump rally.
“I am where I belong, at the people’s House,” wrote the Minnesota congresswoman, “and you’re just gonna have to deal!”

Omar herself also responded by quoting a Maya Angelou poem:
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.-Maya Angelou https://t.co/46jcXSXF0B

Reaction to the chant sent “#TrumpRally” to the top of Twitter trends in the United States. Democrats were aghast:
Anyone who follows me knows that I cover the far-left and that includes Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and I'm aggressive in my reporting which comes from a conservative angle
With that said, chanting "send her back" at Omar is not good
Keep in mind, I am one of her harshest critics

“Send her back” is an appalling chant. Omar is a US citizen.
My less-catchy chant would be: “Condemn her bigotry, combat her radicalism, and investigate her seriously alleged fraud!”

I won't pretend it's easy as a Jewish-American to defend Omar. I won't pretend it's not sickening to watch the media and others excuse her bigotry and radicalism. But this is bigger than her. This is about us.
America is better than that.

Omar doesn’t embrace American values. You’d think someone who benefited from our very generous asylum system that saved her life would be more grateful.
But still, we don’t need these chants!
