WASHINGTON. x--08s. U-S President Donald Trump is falsely claiming that he tried to stop his supporters from chanting "Send her back!" in reference to a Somali-born Democratic congresswoman. Speaking this afternoon at the White House, Trump said he "was not happy" when supporters began shouting the phrase at a rally last night in North Carolina.

TAG: Trump is also claiming that he thought he ended the chant, saying he started speaking quickly after it began. But video of the incident shows Trump pausing his remarks for roughly 13 seconds and not admonishing his supporters as he went on with his speech.
