Rep. Mark Meadows tells marykbruce that 'send her back' chant at Pres. Trump's rally last night was 'not his language.' 'If you've been at any rally, you know that the president doesn't control the chants that happen.'
President Donald Trump disavowed a campaign rally chant of"send her back," where the president's supporters targeted Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., during a campaign event in Greenville, North Carolina, on Wednesday evening, telling reporters on Thursday afternoon that he"was not happy with it."
McCarthy told reporters earlier in the day that the chants"have no place in our country," but when pressed why it's okay for the president to use that language, but not his supporters, the California Republican insisted the president never said that. In a series of tweets last weekend, Trump first criticized the progressive Democratic congresswomen for what he characterized as"horrible and disgusting actions," telling them to stop criticizing the government and"go back" to where they came from.
"What he did, in his responsibility was right," McCarthy insisted."He moved on to make them stop in the process. That's exactly what the president did and the president talked about the greatness of this country."
