NEW: Crowd chants 'send them back' when Trump goes after the four Democratic congresswomen known as 'the squad' at North Carolina rally
1 / 6Trump]President Donald Trump arrives to speak at a campaign rally at Williams Arena in Greenville, N.C., Wednesday, July 17, 2019. GREENVILLE, N.C. — A combative President Donald Trump rallied Republican supporters Wednesday in North Carolina, harshly criticizing four fiery, left-wing congresswoman of being un-American and claiming they are the face of the Democratic Party that will ruin the country.
Trump recently tweeted that the Democratic congresswomen of color should"go back" to their home countries — though three were born in the United States. Trump has accused the four of"spewing some of the most vile, hateful and disgusting things ever said by a politician" and has told them,"If you hate our Country, or if you are not happy here, you can leave!"Before he left Washington, Trump said he has no regrets about his ongoing spat with the four.
His speech was filled with Trump's trademark criticisms about the news media, which he says sides with liberals, and special prosecutor Robert Mueller's Russia probe. Mueller had been scheduled to testify Wednesday on Capitol Hill, but it was postponed. Trump brought him up anyway."What happened to me with this witch hunt should never be allowed to happen to another president," he said.
The Democratic-led U.S. House voted Tuesday to condemn Trump for what they considered"racist comments," despite near-solid GOP opposition and the president's own insistence that he doesn't have a"racist bone" in his body.
