A sandwich shop owner in northern
California has come under
fire for a publicity stunt offering customers who say "send her back" a free side dish.
John Canesa, who runs Canesa's Brooklyn Heros deli in the town of Clayton, north of San Francisco, launched the promotion on
Facebook in a show of support for recent comments by President
Donald Trump targeting left-leaning ethnic minority lawmakers.
The gimmick was inspired by racist chants of "send her back" aimed at
Democratic congresswoman
Ilhan Omar, a Somali-American former refugee, that broke out at a Trump rally in North Carolina earlier this month.
