From TheHill.com:
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) arrived at a Minnesota airport on Thursday to a crowd of supporters greeted her while chanting, “Welcome home Ilhan.”
Omar posted a video of the greeting on Twitter, writing: “It’s good to be home. ??”

You can see the moments when he starts questioning himself on why is he even there. I love Stevie giving him some help and encouragement, and Bob soldiers on even though this is sooooo not his thing.
For the record “send” is a massive leap forward from voluntarily “leave.” For the president to bask in the chant while his race rally calls for the removal of a sitting congresswoman from the country is a historical moment you should remember. https://t.co/6MtqSLgnW4

And I don’t want to hear, “Oh, you that’s only a few of his most rabid supporters” because here you have the racist in chief who started this rallying cry with his tweets and then basks in the distilled hate coming from his cult. And the worst part about this is knowing that he is just getting started.
And as if that wasn’t enough:
Days suggesting Ilhan Omar should go back to Somali, Trump spreads unfounded conspiracy theories about her: "There's a lot of talk about the fact that she was married to her brother. I know nothing about it … I don't know but I'm sure that somebody would be looking at that." pic.twitter.com/XapFKFgEXH
