"Matthews said Obama nailed his answer. His response to it just shows why he will always be the bigger and better man and why Trump is so intimidated by him, Matthews said. It's why Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, because Obama had one. It's why they're trying to round up so many people to deport. Because Obama deported 3 million people. But he did it without the chaos and all the violence that we're seeing unfold."
"She continued by saying Trump was probably happy to have the ape video serve as a distraction from his administration. Trump would probably rather be talking about this video than talking about the economy, than talking about ICE killing American citizens in our streets, than talking about the Epstein files, Matthews said. And that's why he probably is okay with dragging this out and not apologizing for this."
Sarah Matthews, who served as deputy press secretary from mid-2020 to early 2021, condemned a video posted on Trump's Truth Social that depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, calling it blatantly racist. She praised Obama's response, saying his reaction showed he is the bigger and better man and that Trump is intimidated by him. Matthews said the video and Trump's behavior serve as distractions from issues like the economy, ICE-related deaths, and the Epstein files. She noted a staffer posted the clip, that the president refused to fire the staffer, and that the clip was defended as a piece on voter fraud. Matthews has repeatedly criticized Trump since leaving his administration.
