Trump supporters welcomed the president’s renewed attack on the Democratic congresswoman, who is Muslim and fled to the United States as a refugee from Somalia.
At a North Carolina rally, supporters yelled “send her back,” referring to Omar and cheered on his comments about the squad of progressive Democratic congresswomen.
The president’s supporters chanted “send her back,” in reference to Trump’s earlier suggestion that Omar and other Democrats “go back” to the countries they came from.
In response, many public figures and elected officials pledged their support for OmarVideo via @thedailybeast
As the chants broke out ‘send her back’; the US President momentarily paused – briefly — for- added effect to the verbal ‘attacks’ of the black American-Somali Congresswoman.
There was no room for mistakes, mishaps or misinterpretation – the whole thing was heavily scripted with the leader of the ‘free world’sticking to it with the aid of a telempropter like glue. And it worked.
Earlier during the day Trump said he was ‘cherishing’ and ‘enjoying’ the race war he wged against 4 black congresswomen – ‘The Squad’.
“We renew the diplomatic relations between the countries!” Netanyahu posted on Twitter on Sunday during his trip, which he earlier hailed as a “historic and important breakthrough”.
Chad, a Muslim-majority country, borders Libya and Sudan.
It’s part of Israel’s policy of seeking allies among developing countries that have historically sided with the Palestinians at the United Nations and other international forums.
Netanyahu said his outreach “causes outrage in Iran and among the Palestinians”. READ MORE
Netanyahu previously pledged to strengthen ties with the continent and described his pledge as a “priority” at a regional security conference he attended in Liberia in 2017.
Israel maintains diplomatic ties with 32 of the continent’s 54 countries.
Deby said his November visit was “historic” for both countries and that it “could facilitate the turning of a new page in relations between us” but added that even with a renewal of ties, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict could not be ignored.
“Of course, the renewal of diplomatic ties between us, which I very much want, is not something that can make the Palestinian issue disappear,” Deby said in Jerusalem.
Unofficial contacts between Israel and Chad have been ongoing for an extended period, Deby said. One source told Reuters news agency the visit is focused on security, adding that Israel has supplied Chad’s army with weapons and equipment this year to help fight rebels.
Chad is one of several states engaged in Western-backed operations against the Boko Haram armed group and fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group.
Wasel Abu Youssef, a senior Palestinian official, voiced displeasure over Deby’s visit.
“All countries and institutions must boycott the extremist government of Israel and impose a siege on it because of its settlement activities, its occupation of Palestinian land,” Youssef said.
Deby, one of Africa’s longest-serving leaders, took over the arid, impoverished nation in 1990 and won a disputed fifth term in April 2016.
