American president’s actions come under scrutiny in Canada
European Council President Donald Tusk didn’t pull any punches at a Montreal news conference with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Tusk told reporters he’s happy that no one in the city has shouted “send him back.” That’s what U.S. President Donald Trump’s supporters shouted at a rally Wednesday night when he referred to a Democratic Congresswoman, one of four women of colour that he suggested should “go back” to their home countries.
President Trump denies that he encouraged chants at rally
American President Donald Trump is claiming that he tried to stop his supporters from chanting “Send her back!” — in reference to a Somali-born Democratic congresswoman.
Trump says he “was not happy” when supporters began shouting the phrase at a rally Wednesday night in North Carolina. He’s also claiming that he thought he ended the chant, saying he started speaking quickly after it began. However, video shows Trump pausing for roughly 13 seconds and not admonishing his supporters as he went on with his speech.
