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.
