US President Donald Trump has removed a social media video which included a racist clip depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.
The clip – set to the song The Lion Sleeps Tonight – was at the end of a 62-second video containing claims about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
UPDATE: Oopsie! It’s Fake Outrage TDS Style! h/t Frances
It’s pretty clear that the Obama Monkey video was a reels auto play at the end of a screen recording of an election fraud video which is the video Trump actually shared. pic.twitter.com/rQtNQsdOwa
