California Deli Owner Slammed As 'Racist' For Offering A 'Send Her Back' Special

California Deli Owner Slammed As 'Racist' For Offering A 'Send Her Back' Special

President Donald Trump disturbed Americans across the country as he basked in supporters' chants of "Send her back!" at a recent North Carolina rally.

The chants were in reference to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN), whom the President suggested should "go back" to her country—along with three other Democratic congresswomen of color—earlier in the week.


The tweets and subsequent chants were widely decried as racist. Trump even took the rare step of temporarily distancing himself from the sentiments of his raucous supporters (albeit with a lie).

Now, a Clayton, California deli is under fire for promoting a special glorifying the racist attack.

Canesa's Brooklyn Heros offered a free side dish to accompany the sandwich of any customer who said, "Send her back" while placing an order.

Owner John Canesa posted about the special on Facebook.

The post has since been deleted, but people are still sounding off.



Clayton, California Mayor Tuija Catalano eventually spoke out against the special as well.

But in case the outrage is giving you faith in Americans, take it with a grain of salt.

Not only did people show up to support the restaurant, but Canesa's sold out of sandwiches that day.

The support was virtual as well.

While racism may be lucrative for Canesa's Brooklyn Heros at the moment, their perpetuation of it is anything but heroic.

Trump Just Shared A Truly Unhinged Tribute To Tim Cook After He Announced He's Stepping Down As Apple CEO—And, Hoo Boy

President Donald Trump shared an unhinged tribute to Apple CEO Tim Cook—whom he again referred to as "Tim Apple"—following Cook's announcement that Apple will have a new leader starting in September, openly reminiscing about all the times Cook would call him to "kiss my ass."

Cook took over from Steve Jobs and reshaped Apple by leaning on his operations expertise. He streamlined and expanded global supply chains, introduced Apple-designed chips, and pushed the company beyond hardware into services, launching subscription offerings like Apple News, Apple TV+, and Apple Pay, which have since become major revenue drivers.

AOC Offers Hilarious Take On Why Trump's Golfing Amid Iran War Might Actually Be A Good Thing

She said it was “awful” that Trump was golfing while the U.S. is at war with Iran and facing rising prices, arguing he should be focused on his responsibilities instead.

Tucker Carlson Issues Somber Apology For 'Misleading People' Into Supporting Trump: 'We're Implicated In This'

Acknowleding that he's "implicated in this for sure," former Fox News host Tucker Carlson lamented his support for President Donald Trump on his show this week and issued an apology for "misleading people" into supporting him.

Carlson has broken with Trump over different issues over the last several months. His remarks come shortly after he criticized Trump for launching a war with Iran and urged U.S. military aides to refuse any orders involving the killing of Iranian civilians. Trump responded by calling Carlson and other high-profile conservative critics “stupid,” attention-seeking, and out of step with his political movement.
