Asked if he condemns the racist part of the video, Trump said, "Of course I do."

The White House has posted, defended and since revoked an “appalling” social media post depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), the sole Black Republican in the Senate, called Trump's post about the Obamas "the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House."

The footage is included in a video that promotes false claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against Mr. Trump.

The White House took 12 hours to remove a video depicting the former president and his wife as apes.

The second fatal shooting of an American citizen by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis ignited a political firestorm. Jack Ohman leads this week’s editorial cartoon gallery with his view of Immigration and Customs Enforcement — ICE for short — melting into a puddle under the heat of scrutiny.

Multiple GOP members of the Senate and House joined their Democratic colleagues in voicing disgust and criticism at the post and urged the president to remove it. Trump declined to apologize, saying he did not see the racist portion of the video when he passed it on to staff.
