WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Response To Trump Video Portraying The Obama’s As Monkeys “Please Stop The Fake Outrage…”

Many are shocked and outraged at a video that was posted to President Donald Trump’s page on his ‘Truth’ social media, where former President Barak Obama and Michelle Obama’s faces were super imposed onto monkeys.  From a President who’s first day in office wiped out DEI as well as wanting to remove the history of racism in this country has many wondering what’s really going on here.  It appears that the White House is now responding to the viral post with ‘”please stop the fake outrage….”

Reportedly White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt rejected criticism of the post that depicted the Obamas, who are Democrats, as monkeys, in the minute long clip that shows Trump as “King of the Jungle” and depicts a range of Democratic leaders as animals, including former president Joe Biden.

“This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King,” Leavitt said by text, referring to Disney’s 1994 feature film. “Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.”

The Obama’s have not publicly responded to the video and the backlash.

Sometimes a quick response can make matters worse when historically portraying people of color as monkeys is in fact racist. #IJS
