Trump Shares Video Depicting Obamas As Primates
President Donald Trump on Thursday night shared a 62-second Truth Social video that promotes election conspiracy theories and briefly depicts former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as primates. The post, part of dozens of overnight Truth Social shares, drew immediate backlash and was defended by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt as a meme; courts and officials found no evidence of 2020 election fraud. Republicans Against Trump criticized the image as racist.
