(Reuters) - More Republican lawmakers complained on Thursday about U.S. President Donald Trump's inflammatory attacks on four Democratic lawmakers, all minority women, after chants of "send her back" by Trump supporters at a rally targeted one of them.

More than 40 of the 250 Republicans serving in the U.S. Congress as of Thursday morning had criticized Trump over his attacks, widely condemned as racist, on the four: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.
