Donald Trump’s recently posted Barack and Michelle Obama memes are being called “the most racist thing to come out of the White House.” South Carolina Republican Senator Tim Scott saw the posts in question on social media and said he was “Praying it was fake” while arguing that “The President should remove it.”
Scott is notably the only Black Republican in the senate. (It should be worth noting that the Senator’s comments here actually underline that there has been other racist posting from the White House as well…) The social media firestorm around these Truth Social posts has reached escape velocity.
