President Donald Trump insisted a video posted to his Truth Social account, which featured a clip of Former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama as monkeys, and was widely condemned as racist, had already been “all over the place for years.”
Speaking with reporters Thurday, the president confirmed that he had not fired the White House staffer who he said had “erroneously” made the post last week that featured a brief clip of the Obamas as monkeys in a screen-recording of a video on voter fraud. The post caused uproar across the political divide.
