Free Republic

The Democratic congresswoman says she has always been somebody who 'understands how words can be harmful and hurtful to people.' We believe her.The Jews can never seem to live up to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D., Minn.) exacting standards.The Minnesota congresswoman’s latest broadside came Tuesday afternoon, when she told CNN’s Jake Tapper that her Jewish Democratic colleagues "haven’t been partners in justice" and have yet to apologize for their allegedly Islamophobic comments.Omar’s statement came after Tapper asked whether she regrets her comments last month comparing the United States and Israel with terrorist organizations like Hamas and the Taliban. Her answer was...

The owner of a small California deli created controversy when he shared on Facebook a promotion that promised a free side to anyone who said the said, "send her back" while placing an order. The chant — which broke out during President Donald Trump's campaign rally in Greenville, North Carolina, last week — targeted Rep. Ilhan Omar and was deemed racist by many critics. Even some of the president's most loyal supporters believe it crossed a line. John Canesa, the owner of Canesa's Brooklyn Heros in Clayton, Calif., wrote in his since-deleted Facebook post that the meatballs were made of...

Crowd at airport chanting "welcome back" and CNN CNNing.

"Send her back” is not an affirmation of racism. It’s an affirmation of “I love my country — and if you don’t love it, get out.” When your country is a free country, to love your country is to love your freedom. Properly and rationally, you see people who hate your country as a threat to your freedom. Of course you want them out! And if these toxic members of Congress now known as “The Squad” hate freedom so much, why on earth would they want to stay here? For only one reason: To use their power in Congress and...

RUSH: Another press gaggle at the White House. What do you think the question was? “Mr. President, what’s your reaction to the people who attended your rally who were chanting ‘send her back,’ what’s your reaction?” At some point, do you not say, “Stop this. I’ve answered this question, and you’re just trying to set me up again and again. Screw you. Next question.” How many days has this question been asked now? BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: This is Tina in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It’s great to have you. I really appreciate your patience, too. CALLER: Thank you...

Trump-haters are rejoicing in what they see as a major fissure separating President Trump from his base over the Greenville, North Carolina rally's crowd chants of "send her back!" CNN carefully counted out 13 seconds between the beginning of the chant and Trump's resumption of his speech, thereby pinning responsibility for the chant on Trump. So, when Trump stated his disagreement with the sentiment, after being asked about it during an impromptu Oval Office media availability…

President Donald Trump claimed Thursday he “was not happy” with the crowd at his campaign rally for chanting “send her back,” after he had goaded the North Carolina audience with a fiery attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar. "I was not happy with it. I disagree with it. But again, I didn't say that. They did. But I disagree with it," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, adding that he “started speaking very quickly” in an attempt to silence the rally attendees. Prior to the audience at Greenville's East Carolina University breaking into their chant Wednesday night, the president tore...

Trump says he disagrees with 'send her back' chant President Trump on Thursday said he disagrees with the "send her back" chant that rang throughout his North Carolina rally when he attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). “I was not happy with it,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “I disagree with it.” The president has attacked Omar and three of her colleagues for days after saying they should “go back” to their home countries, even though they are all U.S. citizens. Only Omar, who came to the U.S. a refugee from Somalia, was born outside the country.

President Trump on Friday bemoaned the amount of media coverage devoted to supporters at his Wednesday night rally chanting "send her back" about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) as he dug in on his attacks against the first-term congresswomen and three of her colleagues. Trump fired off a trio of tweets in which he shifted blame for the uproar over the chants onto the media one day after he sought to distance himself from the refrain. He again accused Omar of hating the country and blasted "vile and disgusting statements" made by progressive lawmakers he has attacked for six consecutive days....

Donald Trump rarely admits a mistake, much less an overstatement, so we’ll take the regret he expressed Thursday at the chant of “send her back” during his Wednesday rally as the moral equivalent of an apology. Let’s hope his supporters get the message, and that Mr. Trump stops egging them on. The crowd in North Carolina broke into chants of “send her back” after Mr. Trump lambasted Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar for hating America. Mr. Trump had used the words “go back” in a tweet earlier in the week, and the crowd’s chant shows how easily an ill-thought presidential comment...

Here's a working definition of an "MSNBC Republican:" one who is loath to say anything good about anyone associated with President Trump. Susan Del Percio gave a perfect illustration of the genre on today's Morning Joe. Discussing President Trump's disavowal of the "send her back" chant regarding Ilhan Omar at his recent North Carolina rally, Del Percio said: "We hear—and I hate to give her any real credit—but we hear Ivanka Trump did say, did speak to her father, too, saying this was a bit too far." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

I've seen this before.. DemonRat operatives infiltrating conservative rallies, protests, etc., and starting trouble. Then, the media is ready to POUNCE because the entire fiasco had been scripted even before the event started. Was the "send her back" chant started by a small group of Democrat insurgents allowed into Trump's rally?

STOCKTON -- Gretel Quintero looks forward to studying political science at the University of California, Davis, next year -- if she can pay for it. Quintero illegally immigrated to Stockton from Sinaloa, Mexico, at age 13. She graduated this year from Franklin High School with a 4.8 grade point average. So far, she has received about $2,700 from scholarships, but her immigration status makes her ineligible for federal aid. It also keeps her from getting a regular job. She isn't alone. High school counselors and education experts say hundreds -- if not thousands -- of California students find themselves in...
