Kamala Harris: 'Send Her Back' Chant Was Created By Trump's Tweets, "Not By The Crowd"

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris said it is obvious and not debatable that the crowd chanting "send her back" about Rep. Ilham Omar (D-MN) at President Trump's MAGA rally last night was created by Trump's tweets and not the audience.

"The chant was created, not by the crowd, but by the president’s tweets. And that’s obvious... it’s really not a debatable point and I think," Harris said in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on Thursday.

JAKE TAPPER, CNN HOST: Joining me now on the phone is Democratic presidential candidate, Senator Kamala Harris of California. Senator, thanks so much for fitting us in between your busy campaigning. President Trump today is now claiming that he tried to stop those chants and even though he didn’t try to stop those chants, he’s also saying that he disagreed with them. What do you make of it all?

SEN. KAMALA HARRIS (D-CA), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I do think they’re empty words, Jake. You know, the chant was created, not by the crowd, but by the president’s tweets. And that’s obvious that it’s -- you know, it’s really not a debatable point and I think it’s just (INAUDIBLE) -- clearly not a sign of real leadership. I think you have mentioned it; your guests have mentioned it. Contrast it with a real American leader like John McCain, who during the campaign in 2008 -- he stood up, he spoke up. He was, you know, he understood, as an American hero, that the voice of someone who wants to be, much less is the President of The United States, must be a voice that is about elevating discourse that is about speaking to our better selves. And this president just keeps finding new lows. And you know, I would like to say it’s shocking, but at some point -- it’s sadly predictable. But it keeps getting worse.
