Trump fumes over Ilhan Omar's 'welcome home' crowd

[CatWoman]

First thing I did when I saw the video yesterday was to tweet it to Trump

After claiming he wasn’t happy that his supporters broke into a “send her back” chant at his rally in North Carolina, President Trump on Friday fumed over the media coverage of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s return to Minnesota, where she was greeted by a crowd cheering “welcome home.”

In a series of tweets, the president complained that the media had become “crazed” over the chant, which came after he questioned Omar’s loyalty to the United States, yet “is totally calm & accepting of the most vile and disgusting statements made by the three Radical Left Congresswomen.”

Trump has been very publicly feuding with four — not three — congresswomen.

In his latest social media missives, Trump also claimed without evidence that the rally for Omar at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Thursday night was “staged.” More than 100 people, many carrying signs, met Omar in the baggage claim area at the airport.

The president also seemed to conflate Omar with Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan by calling her “Foul Mouthed.” Tlaib had told supporters “we’re going to impeach the motherf***er” shortly after being sworn in to Congress.

1. crazed over the chant?

well, according to Republican strategist Stuart Stevens, it was Lara Trump that started the Send Her Back chants. So, blame yourself on that.

4. Lara Trump....if she wasn't married to a son, I would say she is our Eva Braun....

But we leave that to being Melania and Ivanka's job....

[gordianot]

12. Eva Braun was better most Germans did not know who she was.

For that matter many of Hitlers family members were either opposed to him or anonymous. They avoided publicity.

[Merlot]

5. Doubtful she started the chant on her own.

[hlthe2b]

6. She rehearsed it before the rally with a smaller group and the group together got it going.

[NewJeffCT]

10. the smaller group

was probably local campaign staffers

[littlemissmartypants]

17. She was warming up the crowd, so it appears to have been planned by someone.

Maybe she was just responsible for the execution of the warm up activities. Someone else may have been the mastermind behind the idea. She likely, did what she was told or what she got paid to do. She's his "senior adviser."

LARA TRUMP BLAMES MAGA CROWD FOR RACIST 'SEND HER BACK' CHANT AFTER CUING IT UP FOR THEM
By Alexandra Hutzler On 7/19/19 at 11:06 AM

Before President Donald Trump stepped on stage for a rally in North Carolina on Wednesday, his senior adviser and daughter in law Lara Trump personally warmed up the crowd for the racist "send her back" chant. Now, she's trying to distance the president from incident.

"He wasn't the one that was chanting it," Lara Trump said during an appearance on Fox News on Friday morning. "He started talking about the 'Squad' and some of his issues with them and things he thought were very anti-American."

Lara Trump went on to blame the crowd for starting the chant, which was aimed at Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar. Omar, an American citizen, came to the United States as a child as a refugee from Somalia. She and other progressive lawmakers have been the targets of a series of racist tweets by President Trump.

"The crowd themselves started chanting this. And it wasn't the whole crowd, it was a couple of people right there in the front. But he didn't say it," she told Fox News host Stuart Varney.

But Lara Trump did set up the chant in her address to the audience before the rally began, saying: "If you don't love our country — the president said it." The crowd responded in unison, screaming: "Leave!"

22. I called this Wednesday night

“In the discussion thread: The "send her back" chant at Trump's rally was a new low. It's not only chilling, it's depressing. [View all]

10. Anyone else think it might not have been fully spontaneous?
When I heard clips on MSNBC, I couldn’t help wondering if there were people planted in the audience who started it. That, or operatives suggested it as the crowd filled the room. I’ve seen talk shows recorded and there are people paid to guide the audience response. It doesn’t seem far-fetched to think that might have occurred here.”

In no way does this excuse the crowd. It targets the despicable nature of the Trump family and campaign.

[Merlot]

25. Yes, that's what I meant - she did it on the orders of someone higher up

The chant was not spontanious, it was rehearsed and planned before lara trumpft got started.

[LanternWaste]

9. The kleig lights are on Omar and AOC and Idiot tRump hates it.

They're getting an earned respect from their constituents in an organic moment. So no wonder Idiot tRump believes it to be staged.

[DownriverDem]

11. If trump heard

we the people he would know foul language. He is clueless as to how he is hated.

[uponit7771]

13. +1, He even thinks black folk likes him

[at140]

26. Why does he think black folks like him?

What is he basing that on? My guess is he is confused and getting senile at age 73.

[Celerity]

...her crowds were bigger than his, and she didn't have to pay people to attend hers, or to pay them to start a chant.

[asiliveandbreathe]
