Donald Trump Just Posted An Incredibly Racist Video Depicting Barack And Michelle Obama As Apes

Now, I don’t have to tell you about the long history of Black people being caricaturized as monkeys. We all have common sense. Well, apparently, except for the queen of gaslighting, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who defended Trump’s post in a statement to Deadline.

She reportedly said, “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.”
