claimed he tried to stop chants of “send her back” directed at a Congresswoman, when he did no such thing?

During a rally, when Trump invoked Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, the crowd began chanting “send her back.” Omar, born in Somalia, America, successfully completed the legal process to become a US citizen where she had lived for two decades.

Trump claimed that he started speaking immediately to cut off the crowd, but video of the event shows that he waited for the chant to end on its own.

Trump had previously said that four Congresswomen of color who opposed him should “go back” from where they came. Of the four, only Ilhan-Omar isn’t US-born.
