Make America Hate Again II : T-rump tries to distance himself from "SEND HER BACK!' chant
On Thursday afternoon, T-rump tried desperately to distance himself from the 'SEND HER BACK!' chant his White Mob rallied on Wednesday night, as he looked upon them approvingly.
“I was not happy with it,” T-rump told reporters today at the White House. “I disagree with it.”
Reporters were quick to point out he didn't 'disavow' or try to 'stop' them on Wednesday night. He even paused for a minute, to make the chant gain momentum - and it did.
"I started speaking very quickly," he said -- an assertion refuted by video of the event. Trump waited before speaking as the crowd loudly shouted the three words.
"I didn't say that," he went on, "they did."
What might have made T-rump do a complete about-face on the chant may be today's pressure from conservatives, who so far have been silent on his racist Tweets against four Democratic Congresswomen of Color this past weekend, which is where the chant originated.
"They are always telling us how to run it, how to do this. You know what? If they don't love it, tell them to leave it," T-rump told the White Mob at last night's rally.
Republican leaders were quick to say the rally had veered too far into “ugly nativist territory,” They were happy once T-rump walked back from the hateful chants.
“The chants at last night’s rally were offensive, and I’m glad the president has disavowed them,” Republican Senator Mitt Romney tweeted Thursday afternoon.
