The President said the chant made him feel sad.
Are you kidding me?
When you whip up ugly hatred, then ugly hated is what you get.
He thinks this is a game, it is not.
He is hurting the nation by enabling hatred in return for political capital.

Trump said if it happened again he would try to stop it.
Let's break that down.
You know there is no 'if' about it.
It is going to happen again. He has decided that he can make his presidential campaign about him against these four junior congresswomen of color. For him to continue that, he will have to talk about them again. and as soon as he mentions Omar, the chant will start again. The conned are not listening to reason.
And there is no 'try' about it.
He needs to begin the next rally by saying he will not tolerate any such chants and if they begin he will stop and walk away from the stage and it will be instantly over, just like he walked away from Kim.
Do you think he has the never to make SURE it doesn't happen again?
'Try'.
WE CALL B S !!!

The Republican party has lost it's ability to think OBjectively.
It is now only able to think SUBjectively.
That is a weakness, and it will surely be to their detriment.
It is only a matter of time.

I’m dismissive of the chant because it’s just the latest faux outrage *I’m supposed* to be outraged over. I choose not to be. I don’t like to be told what to be outraged over or what is racist or what isn’t it.
To me, this is an outrage:
“We are introducing a resolution . . . to really speak about the American values that support and believe in our ability to exercise our first amendment rights in regard to boycotting,” Omar told Al-Monitor. “And it is an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement.”

Seems pretty clear that Omar is out to boycott Israel. The Nazis organized boycotts against Jews, didn’t they? Of course, she’s already free to do that under the First Amendment. But First Amendment rights aren’t absolute [one can be sued for liable in spite of the First] and if Omar wants to Congress to institute a boycott of Israel—she has some heavy lifting to do lol.
So, some Trump supporters were chanting to ‘send her back’. NOT because she’s black, a Muslim and from Somalia. Rather, because she’s an antisemite.
I advocate sending all antisemitic immigrants back to where they came from. We don’t need that kind of thing here. Not that it’s ever going to happen but I’m on board with the sentiment. That some boisterous Trump supporters would voice that opinion, in unison, at a rally tells me we haven’t totally lost the country, yet anyway.

Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017
Yes- putting party before country is a terrible indictment. Some of them even put Izrael before both.Republicans Have Stopped Standing Uo For What Is Right In Order To Stand With Trump.
