In short:

Barack and Michelle Obama have been depicated as monkeys in a video shared by Donald Trump.

The moment is part of a longer video detailing a number of debunked conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.

A spokesperson for the Obamas declined to comment.

Probably Trump blaming a staffer, Trump would vomit racist hate seeing he is one.

BREAKING: OH COME ON! Karoline Leavitt gives the WORST excuse for Trump posting a video of the Obamas as monkeys!

The White House press secretary dutifully tried her lamest to justify the unjustifiable by arguing that actually, it was a “Lion King” meme and you all need to stop being so sensitive.

“This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King. Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public,” said Leavitt to POLITICO.

We’re pretty sure that it matters very much to the American public that the president of the United States has posted an image depicting his Black predecessor and his wife as monkeys, which is about as vile a racist trope as you can get.

Also, KKKaroline, were we supposed to just be up to date on all the brainrot slop memes that are passed around right-wing social media?

Because he didn’t post the whole video. He posted the clip that just showed the Obamas as monkeys. And even if he had, IT WOULD STILL HAVE BEEN INSANELY RACIST, because our Black president was depicted as a MONKEY!
Also…there ARE no monkeys in the Lion King!

There is no excusing this or justifying this.

Reporters need to print out a picture of the Truth Social post and shove it in the face of every single Congressional Republican and ask them if they condemn it, or if they find white supremacist propaganda to be funny and cool.

From Quora:

“I watched the video, a tad over one minute. Most of it was the usual minifnromation about Biden stealing the 2020 election. Then near the end a 2–3 second segment was spliced in, whowoing the Obamas as monkeys.

The segment had nothing to do with the rest of the conspiracy video. It was simply gratuitous racism, posed on his site by the president of thr United States.

It has since been taken down. It did get a short article in today’s New York Times. Trump’s press secretary of course said it was fake outrage. Apparently outrage at real racism is fake.”

Apparently outrage at real racism is fake.

“You know who isn’t in the Epstein files? Barack Obama,” Mr Johnson said. “You know who actually improved the economy as president? Barack Obama.”

they’re kind of right, for all the screaming about Clinton we haven’t read anything about Obama being in those files, are they deliberately not being released or is it really true that it’s not that hard to avoid being implicated in csam networks

And why wasn’t Obama in the Epstein files, because he was black, that’s why.
Talk about discrimination.

Joe Biden improved the economy.

Joe isn’t in the files.

Joe’s not black.

So it’s a strange idea that a mystery staffer was apparently in the White House with Donald Trump at a quarter to midnight, but responsible for only this single post.

Honestly, I dare say that has in fact happened. It’s a wicked world.

But there’s a difference between some lone dickhead doing something, and the President of the United States doing it.

then arrangements should be made to isolate the perpetrators, instead of other arses of states falling into line and enabling

Yes.

Some ratbag in his house in suburban Peoria, Illinois, is one thing.

The ‘leader of the free world’, the head of state of (what is currently, at least) the largest economy on the planet, the commander-in-chief of the most powerful military forces in the world, is not supposed to be someone who posts demented racist videos of his predecessor from more than 10 years ago in the wee small hours of the morning on a social media channel which can’t ban him for the sole reason that he owns the bloody thing.

Okay, I mean there’s only one President but let’s imagine it a senior Democrat such as the minority leader in the House or Senate.

It’s never going to happen though.

Thanks for the reminder. I used to follow him and found his points of view to be reassuring. Also his voice is very soothing, which helps when he’s talking about The Horrors.

I must catch up on what he’s doing now.
