U.S. Rep. Peter Welch is not the only Vermont politician calling out President Trump over the last few days.

Sen. Bernie Sanders tweeted his support for Rep. Ilhan Omar on July 17 after the president openly criticized her at a campaign rally in North Carolina. Sanders accused "the most dangerous president in the history of our country" of "stoking the most despicable and disturbing currents in our society."

On July 14, Trump tweeted criticisms of four Democratic congresswomen, stating they "originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe," and wondered why they did not return to them to "help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."

All four of the women are U.S. citizens and only Rep. Ilhan Omar was born outside of the country. She's been on the receiving end of much criticism: Trump called her out during one of his rallies, prompting "send her back" chants from attendees.

Over the past few days, he referenced the four congresswomen on Twitter. They are identified in the media as Representatives Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley.

'Send her back' chant at Trump rally, Sanders campaigns for Rep. Omar

Attendees at a Trump rally Wednesday erupted into "send her back" after the president brought up Rep. Ilhan Omar, who was born in Somalia. The chant was slammed by many as racist.

Trump's perspective on how he handled the matter was disputed online as clips of the incident circulated and users suggested he did not attempt to quell the attendees.

Since the incident, Sen. Sanders sent an email that further cemented his solidarity with Rep. Omar: In a campaign email, Sanders solicited donations from supporters, to be shared with Omar's re-election campaign.

Sen. Leahy addresses potential for Trump impeachment

Another Vermont politician supports an impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

In an email to the Free Press, Sen. Patrick Leahy understood why Congress hoped for impeachment, "given his disregard for our norms and the rule of law, the open corruption and undue foreign influence, and rampant misconduct detailed in the Mueller report," he wrote.

In the same email, Leahy echoed Welch's sentiments, stating the president has a desire "to divide Americans with bigoted and xenophobic speech and policies."

The senator ultimately conceded that the House of Representatives held the power to jump start proceedings.

“No one is above the law," Leahy wrote. "The president follows our laws and is held accountable.”

Leahy's spokesperson responded to a question about whether it seemed like the president attempted to dissuade the audience from using the "send her back" chant or not:

“No, he does not believe that the President tried to dissuade the audience," Carle wrote. "Despite the President’s claims to have done so, the video of him standing on stage silently while the crowd chanted speaks for itself. And in fact, the audience was directly responding to the President’s own words, and it was his own tweets that started this whole disgraceful episode in the first place.”
