No, Trump didn’t try to stop “send her back” Omar chant
tulc(this is President Trumps 240th false)When a reporter asked Trump why he didn’t tell the crowd chanting "send her back" to stop, he said, "I think I did. I started speaking very quickly."
When a "send her back" chant was heard amid other noises, Trump did start talking quickly, though it’s hard to tell if he even heard the chant.
But then he continued his criticisms of Omar, and the "send her back" chant revved up in the crowd loudly, with multiple people in unison. It is at this point that Trump is silent for about 13 seconds. We see no statement or body language on his part to stop the chant. Trump gave no indication that he wanted the crowd to stop.
We rate this statement False.
