Former First Lady Michelle Obama weighed in on the furor over President Trump’s remarks against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), stating, “it’s not my America or your America. It’s our America.”

“What truly makes our country great is its diversity,” she tweeted Friday. “I’ve seen that beauty in so many ways over the years. Whether we are born here or seek refuge here, there’s a place for us all. We must remember it’s not my America or your America. It’s our America.”
The post comes after Trump on Sunday suggested Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) and members of her “squad” — Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Ill.), Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) — should “go back” to their countries to fix their governments, adding, “you can’t leave fast enough.” Only one of the four, Omar, is foreign-born.
At a Wednesday night rally in North Carolina, members of the crowd broke out into chants of “send her back” when Trump mentioned Omar, a line drawing criticism from both Republicans and Democrats.
Trump disavowed the chants during an Oval Office interview on Thursday, saying, “I was not happy with it, I disagree with it.”
On Saturday, the president tweeted a video clip from the rally, stating, “As you can see, I did nothing to lead people on, nor was I particularly happy with their chant. Just a very big and patriotic crowd. They love the USA!”
