"SNIP....

“A reelection campaign dominated by incendiary chants of ‘send her back’ is a worst-case scenario for President Trump, warn senior Republicans who are moving swiftly to douse a political prairie fire sparked by the commander-in-chief’s use of the mantra to attack some Democrats in Congress,” the Washington Examiner reports.

“The rhetoric reeks of xenophobia and threatens Trump with key voters in critical 2020 battlegrounds.”

“Most Republicans in Congress did not publicly denounce the president… But these same Republicans were so alarmed by the ‘send her back’ chants… they made a special plea to Vice President Mike Pence to stop it from happening again.”

1. Good.

[klook]

2. Note they're not concerned about the safety of Rep. Omar

and other immigrants and POC -- just about how it could lose them a few votes. Typical.

[LEW]

3. they should be

last time I checked; 80% normal citizens is larger then the 20% Rump supporters

[Laf.La.Dem.]

4. Sad to say - but I do not think the GOP is worried

They are happy with the chant!!

[gratuitous]

13. Oh, the chant is totally fine with Republicans

It's the fallout from decent citizens they're worried about.

[Midnight Writer]

5. They can't stop it. Expect to hear the chant at every Trump rally from here on.

[John Fante]

6. They're worried that their true nature has been exposed.

[OhZone]

9. This!

[SallyHemmings]

10. Yep, it is ok to say racist crap behind closed doors.

12. Trump has replaced the dogwhistle with a foghorn. /nt

[Wellstone ruled]

7. So the new meme

is,I am willing to Bastard my Career in support of a Fascist Accused Rapist and Liar,but,in order to cover my ass,I told Pence to tell the a fore mentioned POS that he should tone it down for a few days. My Donors are a bit edgy.

8. Yup, Traitor Trump just took the Racist GOP out of the Racist closet

That's why Raygun and others used dog whistles racism instead of direct racist comments. They know most Americans are intolerant of obvious, in your face, racism.

Now there's just no place for GOP racists to hide.

11. Good. They should be.

And, if those goddamn cowards actually believe fucking Mike Pence will do anything to stop it, they are the most deluded people on the planet.

[JHB]

15. ...but not enough to do anything

[OrlandoDem2]

16. People will go to his rallies just to chant that. He can't mention her name without that chant

breaking out now.
