Did you see the video of Trump’s latest campaign rally, John?

In support of Trump’s racist, xenophobic attacks against the Squad earlier
this week, his crowd of supporters began a new chant: instead of “lock her
up,” they yelled “send her back.” Meaning, send Ilhan Omar back “where she
came from.”

It gave me chills. No exaggeration, John. It’s the kind of
ugly, mindless hatred that permeated in the days of Nazi Germany. And
despite what Trump said yesterday -- that he didn’t approve of the chants
-- the video shows the truth: he revelled in their chants of animosity and
racism toward a progressive, Muslim, American woman serving in Congress.

Ilhan responded gracefully with a wise and powerful poem from Maya
Angelou:

As long as Trump continues to promote and inspire hatred from the White
House, especially targeting women of color like Ilhan, we cannot let up
for a single moment.

DFA has stood proudly with Ilhan since the day we endorsed her early on in
her groundbreaking campaign for Congress, and we’ll continue to support
her, the Squad, and other progressive leaders who are unafraid of fighting
back against Trump and the far-right’s dangerous hatred. As long as we
continue to stand together, as Ilhan said, we will rise above this dark
time in our country. We must.

Thanks for standing with us,

Charles
