在愤怒的冲击下，唐纳德·特朗普总统周四否认了前一天晚上在他的北卡罗莱纳州集会上，在他对进步民主党众议员伊尔汉·奥马尔发动恶毒攻击后，支持者中爆发的“送她回去”的圣歌——推特对此并不认同。
特朗普周三晚上在北卡罗来纳州格林维尔的竞选集会演讲中，有一部分是为了攻击奥马尔——他出生在索马里摩加迪沙——几天前，他告诉奥马尔和其他三名有色人种进步议员，“回去帮助修复他们来的完全破碎和犯罪猖獗的地方。”在他的指责中，人群大声呼喊着“把她送回去！”
尽管总统在活动中没有采取任何措施来停止唱诵或谴责那些参与者，但第二天他声称他不赞成他的支持者所说的话。
“我对此不满意。我不同意，”总统周四在白宫说，指的是圣歌。“我没那么说；他们做到了。”
“我开始说得很快，”他告诉记者，声称试图停止唱圣歌，尽管有视频显示，当人群反复喊着圣歌时，他停止了13秒钟的讲话。
特朗普发表上述言论之前，民主党人广泛谴责他用种族主义言论引发了这起事件，而就连一些共和党人也表达了担忧，包括他的女儿伊万卡·特朗普。共和党人在上周末对总统针对所谓的“小队”成员的言论基本保持沉默。
推特上的社交媒体用户指责总统声称否认前一天晚上的圣歌。
“撒谎，”乔治·康威，白宫高级助手凯莱恩·康威的丈夫，也是总统的经常批评者，在推特上简洁地写道。

“特朗普当然对此感到高兴，”保守派评论员兼共同捍卫民主组织主任比尔·克里斯托尔在推特上说。”他没有斥责人群。今天早上之后他什么也没说。现在有反对的反应，所以他试图把他的支持者扔到公共汽车下面，和自己拉开一点距离。这也是煽动者工具包的一部分。”

TRUMP CALLED A 'LIAR' FOR DISAVOWING 'SEND HER BACK' CHANT: PRESIDENT'S THROWING 'HIS OWN SUPPORTERS UNDER THE BUS'
Following an onslaught of outrage, President Donald Trump on Thursday disavowed the "send her back" chant that broke out the previous night among supporters at his North Carolina rally after he launched a vicious attack on progressive Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar — and Twitter was not buying it.
Trump dedicated a portion of his Wednesday night campaign rally speech in Greenville, North Carolina, to attacking Omar — who was born in Mogadishu, Somalia — days after he told her, and three other progressive lawmakers of color to "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came." During his rebuke, the crowd loudly chanted "Send her back!"
While the president did nothing at the event to halt the chant or reprove those involved, he claimed the next day that he did not approve of what had been said by his supporters.
"I was not happy with it. I disagree with it," the president said in the White House on Thursday, referring to the chants. "I didn't say that; they did."
"I started speaking very quickly," he told reporters, claiming to have attempted to shut down the chant, despite videos of the event proving he stopped his speech for 13 seconds as the crowd repeatedly shouted the words.
Trump's comments came after Democrats widely condemned him for sparking the incident with his racist rhetoric, while even some Republicans, who have stayed largely silent over the president's comments against members of the so-called "Squad" last weekend, expressed concern, including his daughter Ivanka Trump.
Social media users on Twitter called out the president for claiming to disavow the previous night's chant.
"Lie," George Conway, husband to top White House aide Kellyanne Conway and a frequent critic of the president, tweeted succinctly.

"Trump said he disavows 'send her back' chant last night about Rep. Ilhan Omar. 'I was not happy with it. I disagree with it,' he said. He was the first person to suggest she 'go back' in a Sunday tweet," Washington Post White House reporter Josh Dawsey noted.

"Of course Trump was happy with it," Bill Kristol, conservative commentator and director of Defending Democracy Together, tweeted. "He failed to reprimand the crowd. He said nothing after or this morning. Now there's a reaction against it, so he's trying to throw his supporters under the bus and distance himself (a bit). This too is part of the tool kit of the demagogue."

"Trump claims he disavows 'send her back' chant despite remaining silent and starting racist attacks. The damage is done, Mr. Trump. Can you b honest, one time? You did nothing to stop this crowd - instead, you smiled & reveled in the pathetic spotlight," Twitter user Cindy Harris wrote.
