Late Thursday night, President Donald Trump posted a short video which included a horrifically racist image portraying former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as apes.
This was ugly and inexcusable, but not exactly a surprise. Trump has been a vile racist for his entire adult life and has said and promoted vile racism over his last 10 years in and out of the White House. This time, though, was different — not really because of the content, but because of the backlash from within his own party.
The video and its racism were denounced by a wide range of Republicans, including staunch Trump allies. As far as the GOP is concerned, the disgusting video seems to be the worst thing Trump has done since the 2021 insurrection.
“blowback”, right…
He’s still in office. What fucking blowback?
This is just about their image for the midterm election this year.
Yup. The timing should be raising everyone’s eyebrows.
I think we just have to accept by now that the US at large is ok with a pedophile, racist president. It’s sad but, that’s how it is. There really isn’t an excuse anymore why Washington DC isn’t being overrun by protesters by now except for that they don’t really mind.
It’s pronounced “clickbait”
