Calls 'send her back' crowd 'incredible patriots' one day after claiming disapproval

Speaking with reporters at the White House on July 19, Trump reversed his brief criticism of the North Carolina crowd that chanted 'Send her back' about Rep. Ilhan Omar, declaring the rallygoers were 'incredible people' and 'incredible patriots' while doubling down on attacks that Omar 'hates our country,' signaling he approved of the racist chant despite saying the opposite a day earlier.
