In an unsurprising, yet horrifically racist moment at a Trump rally in North Carolina yesterday, a crowd of fervent supporters erupted into chanting “Send Her Back,” with the message directed at Ilhan Omar, Democratic House Representative for Minnesota.
I am not going to let them distract. Today I am going to do the work the people of Minnesota sent me to do and vote to #RaiseTheWage to $15 an hour. 💪🏽 Many people, including Democratic presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, and Bernie Sanders, have spoken publicly in support of Omar, condemning the President’s racism. The hashtag # began trending after the rally, with over 150,000 tweets posted in support of Omar as of Thursday morning.
