Trump called the House impeachment resolution 'ridiculous' during a Wednesday rally in Greenville, N.C.
President Donald Trump doubled down on the go-back-to-where-you-came-from trope during a Wednesday rally in Greenville, N.C., laying into the four progressive House members who have styled themselves as the foil to the Republican president.
Save for the occasional heckler, the crowd at East Carolina University seemed to enjoy his new campaign themes, chanting “send her back” and responding to other encouragement to make itself heard. It echoed the way crowds on the 2016 campaign trail delighted in chanting “lock her up” when Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was mentioned, except none of the four congresswomen is running against him.

When Trump mentioned Omar, the crowd exploded in chants of "Send her back!" One attendee shouted out: "Let's get rid of her!" Omar was born in Somalia and came to the United States as a child.
