Trump takes down racist Truth Social post showing Obamas as apes after blowback
"President Donald Trump’s official Truth Social account on Friday morning deleted a video showing a racist image of former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama portrayed as apes, following widespread bipartisan calls for its removal.
The depiction of the Obamas, posted late Thursday from Trump’s official Truth Social account, was included in a video clip pushing a conspiracy theory about voting machines during the 2020 election. The post stayed up for about 12 hours.
The White House initially defended Trump’s post."
