Tim Scott calls on Trump to remove Obama monkey video he reposted: ‘Most racist thing’
Who benefits from this decision?
Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) has called on President Donald Trump to remove a Truth Social video he reposted depicting former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama as monkeys.
“Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House,” Scott posted on X. “The President should remove it.”
The video Trump posted on his Truth Social account was largely about election counting technology but concluded with a few seconds showing an apparent AI-generated image of the Obamas’ faces photoshopped onto two monkeys, a racist trope. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the video was an internet meme relating to The Lion King.
“This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the king of the jungle and Democrats as characters from The Lion King,” Leavitt said. “Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.”
