Trump Removes Racist Meme of Obamas After Bipartisan Rebuke

President Donald Trump deleted a racist video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes from his social media platform after a bipartisan outcry, including from Tim Scott, the only Black Republican US senator.

Trump reposted the clip on Thursday to his 11.7 million followers on Truth Social. It included a narrator making unsubstantiated claims that voting machines were insecure in battleground states during the 2020 election, which former President Joe Biden won.
