President Donald Trump on Friday removed a controversial video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes following bipartisan backlash.
The White House said a video «erroneously» posted to President Donald Trump’s social media account on Friday that depicted former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes in a jungle has been taken down.
The video focused on voting fraud claims from the 2020 presidential election. In the final moments, the Obamas’ heads are seen superimposed on primates’ bodies as «The Lion Sleeps Tonight» plays in the background.
Other elected officials were also portrayed superimposed over the bodies of various animals.
