Elected officials and supporters rally behind Rep. Ilhan Omar after Trump’s attacks

At a rally for Trump in North Carolina, supporters chanted “send her back,” in reference to the president’s earlier suggestion that Omar and other Democrats “go back” to the countries they came from. In response, many public figures and elected officials pledged their support for Omar.

Donald Trump is desperate. Calling out his racism, xenophobia, and misogyny is imperative. He’s trying to divide us and distract from his own crimes, and from his deeply unpopular agenda of letting the wealthy and well-connected rip off the country. We must do more.

We must call out those who remain silent. We must initiate impeachment proceedings to hold him accountable. And we must build an unstoppable grassroots movement that resoundingly defeats not just Trump, but complicit Republicans everywhere.
