Sickening Chant Breaks Out Against Legal Immigrants At Donald Trump Rally

The moment was slammed as "some dark, twisted bulls**t."

The audience at Donald Trump s 2024 campaign rally in Indiana, Pennsylvania, on Monday erupted in applause and chanted, Send them back, after the former president said some immigrants who are in America with legal immigration status will be deported if he beats Democratic rival Kamala Harris and wins back the White House in November.

Trump whipped up the crowd with his inflammatory claims that some states are being inundated with migrants and that some cities will never be the same because of it.

Do you think Springfield will ever be the same? the Republican nominee asked, referring to the Ohio city thats become a focal point of the election following his and running mate JD Vances baseless claims that residents pets are being eaten by Haitian migrants, who are actually there with temporary legal protected status.

The fact is, and Ill say it now, you have to get em the hell out. You have to get em out. Im sorry. But get em out. Cant have it. Cant have it, bellowed Trump.

Trumps supporters lapped up the rhetoric.

Theyve destroyed it, Trump added, prompting members of the crowd to begin chanting, Send them back.

Its terrible, its terrible to say and its a tough thing to do, Trump continued. You know, youre gonna take in some murderers and things, and youll put them on the planes and the buses, and youre going to start doing it.

Watch from the 3-hour, 49-minute mark here:

Trump has vowed to conduct the largest mass deportation campaign in American history.

Earlier this month, he posted about remigration on his Truth Social platform, referring to the concept, thats become a European far-right talking point, thats described by the Associated Press as the chilling notion of returning immigrants to their native lands in what amounts to a soft-style ethnic cleansing.

Former Barack Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau called the rally scene some dark twisted bullshit. Former MSNBC anchor Mehdi Hasan said Trump was essentially calling for the ethnic cleansing of legal immigrants in the United States.

Others slammed the chant as sickening and called Trump sick.
