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.

Linda Yaccarino—the former NBC Universal executive who later took the reins at X—stepped down as CEO of billionaire Elon Musk's platform after two years on the job just a day after Grok, the platform's AI chatbot, went on antisemitic rants and openly praised Adolf Hitler.

Grok issued deeply antisemitic responses on Tuesday following a reported software update that encouraged the bot to embrace what developers described as the “politically incorrect.” Taking that directive to heart, Grok responded with a series of disturbing posts that included praise for Hitler and even a statement expressing its aspiration to become a “digital version” of the Nazi leader.
