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 into Omar, mischaracterizing past controversial statements by the Minnesota Democrat related to the 9/11 terror attacks and Al Qaeda that conservatives have seized upon in recent months.
Just before the incendiary refrain broke out, Trump accused Omar of having "a history of launching vicious, anti-Semitic screeds," and then silently gazed out over the crowd for roughly 15 seconds until the cheers of "send her back" abated.
"It was quite a chant, and I felt a little bit badly about it," Trump said on Thursday, later hailing the number of supporters inside the "packed arena" and boasting of the "tremendous support" and "great energy" enjoyed by the Republican Party.
"I say there is far more energy on the right than there is on the left," he said, adding, "I think we have far more support than they do and I think we have far more energy than they do. And we’re going to have a very interesting election. But I was not happy when I heard that chant."

Don’t waste your time with Nopardons. Logic means nothing to him. He’s a very righteous person. When he gets angry, he “knows” he’s right. When that happens, logic has no effect on him. Did I mention he’s very righteous?
Where was the apology when his supporters chanted "LOCK HER UP"?
That never happened AND blows away what you just posted.
Now good old Shotgun School Bus Joe Biden the Groping Pedo is demanding POTUS Trump “disavow” the Klan and White Supremist Groups.
Doesn’t Joe know the Klan was a Democrat only group?
I’m still trying to figure out who these so called White Supremist Groups are or if they really exist. I know Antifa is a bunch of mask wearing White Boys though.
OTOH...he also NEVER said that he would "LOCK" Hilary up either.
And Omar has committed tax fraud, misused campaingn funds, and lied when taking her oath for Rep., not to mention falsifying immigration/citizenship papers. Legally, she actually CAN be stripped of her citizenship AND be sent back to Somalia.
You’re lying through your teeth and just posting your own biased, imagined, hallucination. Pity that.....
Another teachable moment for Trump to point out the Dems invented the Klan and Antifa to do the very same functions.
Oh, a lovers spat.
Carry on.
Tsk, tsk, tsk...you didn’t PING me and are smearing me behind my back. Go off to your safe space and try to collect your feelings; snowflake.
Let’s go with Arrest Her Ass next time.
Everyone is/was aware of Hillary’s crimes (i.e. illegal server, deleting emails under subpoena) those are facts. Ilhan Omar’s crimes are not yet widely known. Once they are and she’s being prosecuted, he does not want to be accused of a witch hung (i.e. prosecuting her for purely political reasons). Real simple. I’ll trust Trump’s instincts over yours any day.
Aww, poor baby. Go ahead and sue me. Not trying to hide from you. You just don’t deserve the courtesy.
You’re an imbecile! You love to go off half- cocked on Trump any chance you get!
BTW, you should use more caps. /s
Omar will be fined ( as she has already been for some of her crimes )and allowed to "update"/change some of her past fraud; however, I have grave doubts that anything else will happen to her.
I doubt that this apology was Trump's idea. I bet someone got his ear and convinced him to do it; unfortunately.
“”I felt a little bit badly about it””
That’s funny......I’m surprised he didn’t smile when he said it. I think I missed that part- “a little bit badly”....
Love it.....
It's far more fun just laughing AT you,knowing that in real life you are suffering from problems you don't even know you have.
I understand. You’ve got this all figured out. Trump is just a dottering fool who needs you to set him straight. Talk about delusional!
Omar’s potential felonies could possibly result in her citizenship being revoked and her being deported. Too close to the truth. POTUS stepping away is a good move.
