At a campaign rally in North Carolina in July, the crowd echoed Trump's tweets and chanted "send her back" about Omar, who was born in Somalia, but is an American citizen. "The president chooses his targets pretty carefully but he doesn't always choose them for the same reason," said Brian Ott, a communications professor at Texas Tech University and co-author of The Twitter Presidency. On Twitter, Trump has said the face of the Democratic Party is the "squad," Pelosi and Rep. Maxine Waters, who is African American.
