US Democrat congresswoman Ilhan Omar has responded after crowds at a presidential rally chanted "send her back".

The Minnesota representative said: "We are Americans as much as everyone else."

Donald Trump was cheered at Wednesday's rally in North Carolina after continuing his attacks on the four non-white Democrat congresswomen, known as "The Squad".

The chanting resembled the words that Mr Trump's supporters shouted about Hillary Clinton during his presidential campaign in 2016.
