Bam.

Many thought President Donald Trump's racism had reached a new low with tweets urging four Democratic congresswomen of color to "go back" to where they came from.

But at a North Carolina rally Wednesday night, the president and his supporters proved they still had greater depths to sink to. When Trump unleashed a slew of lies about Somalian-American Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN), the crowd broke into a chant that disturbed Americans across the country.


The crowd bellowed:

"Send her back! Send her back! Send her back!"

Congresswoman Omar, however, doesn't intend to cower to the rallying cries of racists.

She responded with a quote from Maya Angelou's seminal poem Still I Rise...

...Before making it clear that she won't be going anywhere.

Omar's supporters praised her strength and resolve in the face of bigotry.

Many Democratic lawmakers spoke out against Trump's eagerness to enable racists.

Even some of Trump's most prominent supporters—albeit weakly—criticized Trump for allowing the chant.

Even Fox & Friends wouldn't endorse it.

With Trump so emboldened, it looks like the 2020 election may be even uglier than 2016.

JD Vance Slammed After Baselessly Claiming Woman Killed By ICE In Minneapolis Was A 'Deranged Leftist'

Vice President JD Vance was criticized after he claimed without evidence that Renee Nicole Good—the woman fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday—was a "deranged leftist."

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin claimed Good “weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them.” But Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey pushed back against this narrative considering witnesses described seeing Good in the vehicle trying to flee officers when she was shot.
