SCRIPT
US President Donald Trump said that he 'disagrees' with his supporters who chanted 'send her back' when he mentioned Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's name during a rally in North Carolina on Wednesday. Trump was asked to comment on the incident in the Oval Office on Thursday.
The US president added: "It was quite a chant and I felt a little bit badly about it. But I will say this, I did, and I started speaking very quickly. But it started up rather, rather fast as you probably noticed."
Trump responded positively to the question of a journalist on whether he will ask his supporters "never to say that again," merely reiterating that he disagrees with the chant.
The US President sparked controversy over the weekend with a series of tweets seemingly aimed at new Democratic congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley and Ilhan Omar that were widely condemned as racist. He wrote that the representatives - three of whom were born in the US and all American citizens - should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came." Those comments were echoed by numerous public statements throughout the week, questioning the partiotism of the so-called 'Squad'.
