President Donald Trump’s racist social media post featuring former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, as primates in a jungle was deleted after a backlash from both Republicans and Democrats who criticized the video as offensive.
The Republican president’s Thursday night post was deleted Friday and blamed on a staffer after widespread backlash, from civil rights leaders to veteran Republican senators, for its treatment of the nation’s first Black president and first lady. The deletion, a rare admission of a misstep by the White House, came hours after press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed “fake outrage” over the post. After calls for its removal for being racist – including by Republicans – the White House said a staffer had posted the video erroneously and it had been taken down.
Random staffer getting thrown under the bus when we all know Trump posted it personally.
Is someone going to ask that bitch KKKaroline why it was DELETED if it was “fake outrage”?
I’m shocked he took it down to be honest.
DEPORT MELANIA TO CECOT
The “fake outrage@ says it all, the poster was Trump and he miscalculated badly.
Miscalculated implies he thought about it. We know that isn’t true…
Not really. It successfully stole attention from ICE and the Epstein files, if only for a moment.
Not at all, imo it just added more to the ever growing list of why this cunt should be impeached.
How is that successful?
Whoever posted should be
firedimpeachedAnd put in a fucking home.
Wtf, let’s also seize the assets tied to him to make up for the pain and suffering
Why is he so obsessed with the O’Bamas?
the O’Bamas
They aren’t Irish 🤣
I thought Barack was?
Barack, son of Bama!
Touché. I’m leaving my shame public.
Might be a little bit Irish.
Obama has a real Nobel Peace Prize.
He shouldn’t have it though. That was embarrassing.
Shrug. It was not Obama’s decision to make - nor was it Donvict’s, LOL. And Obama was not making obvious thirsty appeals for one, either.
And he’s so obviously bothered by Obama having one and him not. He’s bothered so very much that he accepted someone else’s Nobel Peace Prize as a participation trophy. That’s how sad and pathetic and jealous of Obama he is.
obama publicly laughed at him. and that is one thing narcissistic sociopath just can’t get over.
Then he went home and killed Osama Bin Laden that night. Big night for Barack, and it really pissed off Trump.
Boy, I’m beginning to think Obama gave Trump more than a little idea on how he wanted to makeover the White House.
Obama roasted him once during his presidency, and his pwecious fee fees never recovered.
It’s amusing that the cons spent 8 years saying that Obama was “arrogant”. What they really wanted to say was “uppity”.
Obama pissed off all these cons by his very existence in the WH as a black man. It broke their brains.
Racism and Little Dick Energy?
it is funny that this is offensive, but gestapo murdering people in the streets is not.
People can be mad about two whole things at once, maybe even more. When two things happen, it doesn’t mean one of those two things suddenly isn’t happening. Pay careful attention, sometimes EVEN MORE than two things happen as well.
my comment wasn’t about what people are or can be mad about. it was about where republican politicians draw the line and they clearly don’t draw it at people being murdered in the streets.
because i guarantee you that angry citizens are not what made him take it down. and i am honestly surprised that they actually made him take it down, however they did it.
because compared to all the things he gets away with, this one, however disgusting, is one of the smaller “missteps”.
If you clarify that your are referencing conservatives’ perception in particular, this comment will look less shitty.
Just political caste kayfabe. I think they don’t understand how hated they are at this point, possibly because its February. There are places none of them can go anymore. Those places are expanding in number.
