WASHINGTON D.C., DC —
West Michigan Congressman, Justin Amash took to Twitter to respond to chants against congresswomen of color at President Trump's rally on Wednesday night.
A chant like “Send her back!” is ugly and dangerous, and it is the inevitable consequence of President Trump’s demagoguery. This is how history’s worst episodes begin. We must not allow this man to take us to such a place.
Trump's attack on four congresswomen includes Rashida Tlaib of Detroit.
The President held a rally in North Carolina on Wednesday night eliciting chants in the crowd to "send them back" and to leave the country.
The chant is in response to Trump's tweet on July 14. He called out the Democratic congresswomen in a tweet saying they "originally come from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe."

So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly......
He's referencing high profile House Democrats known as "the squad"; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.
Three of the congresswomen were born in the United States, the fourth, IIhan Omar was born in Somalia but became a citizen in 2000.
