Trump complains of ‘crazed’ media coverage over ‘send her back’ chants

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.
