唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)总统周三晚上愤怒而分裂的竞选集会点燃了社交媒体，因为用户集会支持总统或众议员伊尔汉·奥马尔(Ilhan Omar)，后者发现自己正处于一场震撼美国政治的种族主义争吵的中心。
特朗普在北卡罗来纳州格林维尔向支持者发表讲话时，花了很大一部分时间抨击“小队”——由四名进步民主女性代表组成的有色人种团体——他周末在推特上对这些人进行了种族主义诽谤。
他愤怒的在线长篇大论宣称，这些女性——其中三人出生在美国，都是美国公民——应该“回到”自己的祖国。他还指责他们“吐出一些政客说过的最卑鄙、最可恶和最恶心的话。”
周三的集会充满了愤愤不平、不妥协和部落情绪，这已经成为总统竞选活动的同义词。人群甚至开始高呼”送她回去！送她回去！“在特朗普攻击奥马尔期间的某一时刻，总统重复了以前用来诽谤明尼苏达州女议员的虚假指控，并揭穿了这些指控。
这首圣歌，以及特朗普听到这首歌时明显的漠不关心，促使了#IStandWithIlhan推特上的标签，到目前为止已经被推了10万多次。
参议员伯尼·桑德斯说他与奥马尔站在一起”，并为在国会与她共事感到自豪。特朗普正在煽动我们社会中最卑鄙和最令人不安的潮流。仇恨和种族主义助长了他。我们必须一起战斗，打败我国历史上最危险的总统。”
播客主持人乔恩·费儒说这首圣歌“是我在政治上见过的最令人不寒而栗的事情之一”，而民主党众议员Ted Lieu总统和他的“授权”使“种族主义圣歌”合法化。刘呼吁支持者“前所未有地投票、捐赠和组织起来”。我们国家的灵魂危在旦夕。”
奥马尔自己发了一条推特，上面有已故玛娅·安杰洛的诗。上面写着:“你可以用你的话射我，你可以用你的眼睛砍我，你可以用你的仇恨杀死我，但我仍然会像空气一样升起。”
在另一个帖子里，奥马尔贴了一张她自己的照片在众议院发言时写道:“我在属于我的地方，在人民的房子里，你必须处理！”
尽管许多用户认为总统的集会令人憎恶，但一个较小的团体开始在网上发布#IStandWithPresTrump标签，其中许多人重复了对奥马尔的虚假指控，并使用了与总统相同的种族主义比喻。
截至周四早上，这个标签已经被推了大约3万次，尽管有多个用户利用这个短语来批评或嘲笑总统及其支持者。
演员兼喜剧演员特伦斯·威廉斯是标签的驱动因素之一。他写道，“# IStandWithIlhanOmar是趋势！！！所以你们都站在拒绝谴责基地组织的人一边？让我们创造#IStandWithPresTrump趋势！”
尽管有相反的误导性声明——包括总统本人共享的篡改视频——奥马尔从未表示支持这个恐怖组织称其为“暴力”和“消极”，其成员为“极端分子”
她还批评美国向沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国出售武器，因为据报道，这些武器已经落入基地组织或其他极端组织手中。
作者马克·戴斯宣称那些“憎恨我们国家、习俗、历史和宪法的人，你可以离开...无论你来自瑞典还是索马里。这与种族无关。”
特朗普的种族主义攻击正在分裂华盛顿和社交媒体。周二，民主党控制的众议院投票谴责总统因为他的“种族主义言论”只有四名共和党人和民主党人以240比187通过了不信任案。贾斯汀·阿玛什(Justin Amash)最近从共和党辞职，现在是独立议员，他也支持投票。

#ISTANDWITHILHAN VS #ISTANDWITHPRESTRUMP: COMPETING TRENDS EMERGE AFTER DIVISIVE TRUMP RALLY
President Donald Trump's angry, divisive campaign rally on Wednesday night set social media alight as users rallied to support either the president or Rep. Ilhan Omar, who has found herself at the center of a racism row convulsing U.S. politics.
Addressing supporters in Greenville, North Carolina, Trump spent a good portion of Wednesday's event attacking "The Squad"—the four-strong group of progressive Democratic female representatives of color—about whom he tweeted racist tropes at the weekend.
His angry online tirade declared that the women—three of whom were born in the U.S. and all of whom are American citizens—should "go back" to their countries of origin. He also accused them of "spewing some of the most vile, hateful and disgusting things ever said by a politician."
Wednesday's rally was imbued with the aggrieved, uncompromising and tribal sentiment that has become synonymous with the president's campaign events. The crowd even began chanting "Send her back! Send her back!" at one point during Trump's attacks on Omar, as the president repeated false and debunked accusations previously used to smear the Minnesota congresswoman.
The chant, and Trump's apparent nonchalance at hearing it, prompted the emergence of the #IStandWithIlhan hashtag on Twitter, which has thus far been tweeted more than 100,000 times.
Senator Bernie Sanders said that he stands with Omar "and am proud to work with her in Congress. Trump is stoking the most despicable and disturbing currents in our society. And that very hatred and racism fuels him. We must fight together to defeat the most dangerous president in the history of our country."
Podcast host Jon Favreau said the chant "is one of the most chilling and horrifying things I've ever seen in politics," while Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu said the president and his "enables" legitimized the "racist chant." Lieu called on supporters to "vote, donate & organize like never before. The soul of our country is at stake."
Omar herself posted a tweet with lines from a poem by the late Maya Angelou. It read, "You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise."
In another post, Omar posted a photo of herself speaking in the House of Representatives with the text: "I am where I belong, at the people's house and you're just gonna have to deal!"
Though many users found the president's rally abhorrent, a smaller group began posting with the #IStandWithPresTrump hashtag, many of whom repeated the false allegations leveled against Omar and used the same racist tropes employed by the president.
The hashtag had been tweeted about some 30,000 times as of Thursday morning, though multiple users piggybacked on the phrase to criticize or mock the president and his supporters.
Actor and comedian Terrence K. Williams was one of the drivers of the hashtag. He wrote, "#IStandWithIlhanOmar is trending!!! So y'all stand with someone who refused to Denounce Al Qaeda? Let's make #IStandWithPresTrump Trend!"
Despite misleading claims to the contrary—including doctored videos being shared by the president himself—Omar has never voiced support for the terror group, describing it as "violent" and "negative" and its members as "extremists."
She has also been critical of U.S. arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates because such weapons have reportedly found their way into the hands of Al-Qaeda or other extremist groups.
Author Mark Dice declared that those who "hate our country, customs, history and Constitution, you can leave...whether you're from Sweden or Somalia. It has nothing to do with race whatsoever."
Trump's racist attacks are dividing Washington as well as social media. On Tuesday, the Democratic-controlled House voted to condemn the president for his "racist comments." Only four Republicans joined the Democrats to pass the censure by 240-187. Rep. Justin Amash, who recently resigned from the GOP and is sitting as an independent, also backed the vote.
President Donald Trump pumps his fist as he arrives at a "Make America Great Again" rally at Minges Coliseum in Greenville, North Carolina, on July 17, 2019.
