Trump supporters chant \'SEND HER BACK\' as the president attacks Ilhan Omar at rally in North Carolina

As President Donald Trump attacked Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota at a rally in Greenville, North Carolina, on Wednesday night, his supporters chanted, "SEND HER BACK!"

The chant echoed racist tweets from Trump on Sunday that called on four progressive Democratic lawmakers, including Omar, to "go back" and "help fix the totally broken and crime infested" countries "from which they came." Three of the lawmakers - Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan - were born in the US. 

Omar, one of the first two Muslim women to serve in Congress in US history, was born in Somalia. She fled her native country as a child due to a bloody civil war and spent some time in a refugee camp in Kenya before coming to the US at the age of 10. Omar became a US citizen when she was 17. 

As the crowd in Greenville chanted "send her back," an apparent suggestion that Omar should be sent back to Somalia, Trump paused and looked on. He issued no rebuke to the crowd.
