YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Former President Barack Obama spoke out a week after President Donald Trump's social media account posted a video depicting him and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes, condemning behavior on television and social media as a "clown show."

Obama was asked about the social media post, which was taken down following growing calls from both sides of the aisle hours after Trump shared it, during an interview with podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen posted on Saturday.
