Trump distances himself from himself:
Trump hits ‘send her back’ chant, claims he tried to stop it
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Thursday chided his supporters who chanted “send her back” when he questioned the loyalty of a Somali-born congresswoman, joining widespread criticism of the campaign crowd’s cry after fellow Republicans warned it could hurt the GOP in next year’s elections
In a week that has corkscrewed daily with hostile exchanges over race and love of country , Trump also claimed he had tried to stop the chant at a reelection event Wednesday night in North Carolina.
“I started speaking really quickly,” he told reporters. “I was not happy with it. I disagree with it” and “would certainly try” to stop any similar chant at a future rally.
Libs are in a meltdown, of course. On the right had side of the commentariat I would say that a clear majority find "Send Her Back" to be un-American; some bitter-clingers think the crowd is trolling the media and aren't seriously suggesting Trump suspend the Constitution and re-write our laws.
Tricky call. I think my Outrage-o-meter burned out in early 2016. I agree that most of that crowd was just mocking the media but still, funny or not, its not funny. Trump needs to dial this back. An election year suggestion: Go for a chant of "Send her home" with the idea that voters can send someone else to Washington.
What's there not to like?

Sentiment from one sister and one friend, both in their 60's: they agree with the chant and are tired of coddling Muslims.
Me, I say let's change it to "Vote her out" and everyone will be pleased.
Except the left who will still consider it racist.

TM just doesn't seem to get it.
The left is in open rebellion against everything America stands for and is desperately trying to import enough peons to make a permanent one party state.
The eventual alternative to 'send her back' is not some nicety. It's shooting. Maybe 'send her back' doesn't look quite so gauche if we consider the stakes.

She's a criminal, charge and convict her. Wonder what would happen to the average person who committed her crimes.
All of her nonsense would have kept her from ever running for office if the media had done its job. It is sickening how corrupt our news media has become. They were always on the Democratic team, but never so openly with no seeming way to make them pay for their treachery.
This might have been posted before, but it bears repeating in case people have missed it. Part of it is news to me:
"In 1995, Ilhan entered the United States as a fraudulent member of the “Omar” family.
"That is not her family. The Omar family is a second, unrelated family which was being granted asylum by the United States. The Omars allowed Ilhan, her genetic sister Sahra, and her genetic father Nur Said to use false names to apply for asylum as members of the Omar family.
"Ilhan’s genetic family split up at this time. The above three received asylum in the United States, while Ilhan’s three other siblings — using their real names — managed to get asylum in the United Kingdom.
"Ilhan Abdullahi Omar’s name, before applying for asylum, was Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.
"Her father’s name before applying for asylum was Nur Said Elmi Mohamed. Her sister Sahra Noor’s name before applying for asylum was Sahra Nur Said Elmi. Her three siblings who were granted asylum by the United Kingdom are Leila Nur Said Elmi, Mohamed Nur Said Elmi, and Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.
"Ilhan and Ahmed married in 2009, presumably to benefit in some way from a fraudulent marriage. They did not divorce until 2017."

By the way, why SHOULD the President - or his supporters - dial anything back?
Do we not have the right to be angry - enraged - that a woman we welcomed into this country and rescued from a civil war, likely committed tax fraud, election fraud, marriage fraud and immigration fraud; constantly attacks everything about this country; openly supports our enemies; proudly spouts hateful and inflammatory anti-Semitic rhetoric; insults our soldiers who died trying to protect civilians in her old country; and does all that with us taxpayers paying her salary and lavish lifetime benefits?
“Send her home” is about the mildest thing to be said about her, from where I sit.

Completely off topic...
In my avatar is a pic of my three kids taken in June of 2018 while on vacation at Tybee Island.
The one on the left is the oldest, a daughter about 5'11'. The one in the middle is the middle kid and vertically challenged. The one on the right is the youngest, my boy. Probably about 5' 9" in the photo.
A year later he's passed up the oldest and is a solid 6 footer.
I'm 6' 1" and everytime he walks by me he's definitely sizing me up.
I hope he keeps on growing and passes me up but it's a bit unnerving. It was funny when he passed up the middle kid, hilarious when he passed up his Mom and a revelation when he passed up the oldest.
Now he's coming for me!
Any Dad advice on the topic most welcome.

"But Xi has earned himself an array of what we might called "bad enemies" and "good enemies" since taking office in late 2012.
They range from the once-rich and powerful families he destroyed in his anti-corruption campaign, all the way to the small-r reformers angered by his illiberal rollback of the incremental institutional advances of the reform period.
Forced to lay low initially because of the dangers of challenging him outright, Xi's critics at home have begun to find their voice."
