send her back! send her back! send her back! send her back! send her back! now it s important to remember that this hateful rhetoric is literally a campaign ploy. it began on a campaign stop in 2015. it s continued through his presidency, and he is using it again as he seeks reelection. anti-muslim rhetoric is a key part of donald trump s strategy to win in 2020. joining me now are two people with significant experience covering israel and the rest of the middle east. a journalist and foreign policy analyst who grew up in east jerusalem. ayman mohyeldin, who has reported on the middle east extensively before becoming the co-host of morning joe right here on msnbc every morning. thank you both for being here. rula, you had a few hours to digest this. what stands out to you the boast egregious part of what happened today. i remind people it was donald trump tweeting about how israel should block these two women and then the prime minister of israel acquiescing.
