"This time, however, Trump's account posted a now-deleted video on Truth Social depicting former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes, drawing harsh criticism from lawmakers in both parties. What they're saying: "This disgusting video, posted by the so-called president, was done intentionally," Jeffries said in the clip, contradicting the White House's claim that it was an erroneous post by a staffer."
""F*** Donald Trump and his vile, racist and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom-feeder," the Democratic leader continued. The Obamas, he continued, represent "the best of this country." Zoom out: Jeffries called for Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and other Republicans to "denounce this serial fraudster who's sitting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue pretending to be the president.""
A Truth Social post from Donald Trump's account showed edited footage depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes and was later deleted. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries called the post intentional, labeled Trump’s behavior vile and racist, and used explicit language to condemn him. Jeffries said the Obamas represent the best of the country and demanded that Republican leaders including Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson publicly denounce Trump. Spokespeople for Thune, Johnson and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
