Trump Shares Video Tweeted By Anti-Muslim Pundit Katie Hopkins Who Has Compared Migrants To ‘Cockroaches’

President Donald Trump on Saturday stood by his tirade against four Democratic minority congresswomen by sharing a video of him instigating the now-infamous “send her back” chants at a recent rally in North Carolina that far-right British political commentator Katie Hopkins tweeted.

“New Campaign slogan for #2020? ‘Don’t love it? Leave it!’ Hopkins commented on the clip. “Send her back is the new lock her up. Well done to #TeamTrump.”

Trump responded by reiterating he was not happy with the racially offensive chants and that he believes his supporters are merely “patriotic” despite their calls to “send back” Somali-born Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota), who came to the United States as a refugee when she was a young girl. Omar has famously made comments critical of Israel and their lobbying groups’ influence on American politics, remarks that have been condemned by both major parties as anti-Semitic. 

As you can see, I did nothing to lead people on, nor was I particularly happy with their chant. Just a very big and patriotic crowd. They love the USA! https://t.co/6IVKEffNnq

Hopkins is a renown anti-Muslim British pundit who advocated for a “final solution” for Muslims in the United Kingdom after the May 2017 terrorist attack in Manchester. She also reportedly blamed Jews for the massacre at a synagogue in Pittsburgh late last year because she said they backed less strict immigration laws.

According to a Guardian article published shortly after the Manchester bombings, Hopkins also once “compared migrants to cockroaches and suggested Europe should use gunboats to stop them crossing the Mediterranean.”
