Ilhan Omar was greeted with applause and "welcome home" slogans when she went to her home state of Minnesota – a stark contrast to the cries of "sending her away" who aimed at the last rally of Donald Trump.
Dozens of supporters greeted him at the Minneapolis airport after an extraordinary week in which the president targeted him, along with three other Democratic women members of Congress, in his tweets now notorious about going back.
Ms. Omar also received a standing ovation at a health care event in Minneapolis on Thursday night, telling the packed crowd, "I know a lot of people are trying to distract us now. But I want you all to know that we will not let them go. "

The Democratic congressman called Mr. Trump "fascist" at an impromptu press conference earlier Thursday. "This is how our president and his supporters have transformed our country," said Omar about racist songs.
"He is throwing up his fascist ideology on stage, urging American citizens to return home because they do not agree with his harmful policies for our country," she added.

On Thursday, in the face of Republican criticism, Trump tried to stand out from the shouts of his supporters at the rally in North Carolina, saying, "I felt a little bad about it."
He also said he tried to stop the vocals on Wednesday night, despite the video showing the crowd screaming for 13 seconds while Trump was not trying to stop them.
When asked why he did not intervene, he replied, "I started talking very fast … I was not happy," before saying that he "would definitely try" to stop any similar song at a future rally.
Trump says that he tried to prevent the songs from "sending her back", but the video proves that he did not
On Thursday, more than 40 of the 250 congressional Republicans had criticized Trump for his attacks on congressional women.
Senator Mitt Romney, asked about the song "send it back", said: "This is very unfortunate for our country … and I am glad the President has spoken out against it."
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California said that singing has "no place in our party or in our country".
Adam Kinzinger of Illinois tweeted that it was "ugly, fake, and would send shivers down the backs of our founding fathers. This ugliness must stop, otherwise we risk our great union. "
And Mark Walker of North Carolina – a conservative who attended Mr. Trump's rally – was more circumspect, though he described the chant as offensive.
Suggesting that his objections were more strategic, he told reporters that the slogan "send it away" does not "have to be our call to the campaign, as we have already done here.
