Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called President Trump’s speech at a Greenville, North Carolina rally on Wednesday “despicable,†and called the chanting crowd “eerily familiar to what happens in dictatorships.â€
Thousands of Trump supporters changed “send her back†at the rally, in reference to Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who came to the United States from Somalia.
Schumer blamed Republicans for not standing up to the president.
He urged people to to call GOP senators “and tell them to tell the president to stop this.â€
Trump has attacked Omar, a Muslim-American, and three other Democratic progressive lawmakers in recent tweets and comments.
The four women, known as “the squad,†have been critical of Trump and his policies, particularly his effort to deport illegal immigrants and prevent them from entering the country.
