What vile post did Trump recently delete and why was it controversial?
chaos in the white house and chaos on capitol hill as donald trump was now forced to delete one of the most disgusting and vile posts i could even fathom where he made a post around midnight last night you know the story of former president obama and former first lady michelle obama with their faces photoshopped on apes and then donald trump's chief propagandist caroline levitt said uh Stop being a snowflake, basically. She goes, this is an internet meme, okay? And it's depicting Trump as the king of the jungle and Democrats as characters from The Lion King. So stop the fake outrage, okay? And report on something today that actually matters to the American public. You got responses like this, a Republican Senator Susan Collins, Tim is right, this is appalling.
Senator Tim Scott, MAGA as you get, says, praying it was fake because it's the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House. The president should remove it. It's interesting language there because there's a lot of other racist things out of this White House. It's the most racist thing. There should be no racist things coming out of the White House. A Republican Congress member, Mike Turner, I do not feel the need to respond to every inflammatory statement made by the White House. However, the release of racist images of former President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama is offensive, heartbreaking, and unacceptable.
How are Republican leaders responding to Trump's actions?
President Trump should apologize. Just say you're sorry and it'll all be okay. Just say you're sorry. I mean, what are we even talking? It is all of the things that are being described, but just say you're sorry and we'll be cool. you've got senator roger wicker says this is totally unacceptable the president should take it down and apologize just say you say you're sorry for posting the most vile racist thing ever then we're cool then we're cool again senator brit says this content was rightfully removed should have never been posted to begin with and is not who we are as a nation That's your furor. That's your guy. That's your cult leader right there. Senator John Curtis goes, this post was blatantly racist and inexcusable.
Blatantly. He posted other racist things, but this one was blatantly racist and inexcusable. It should never have been posted or left unpublished for so long. So then Trump deletes it and now the White House is blaming a staffer and saying, ah, it was a staffer who did it. We took it down after we identified it.
What does Congressman Seth Moulton say about Trump's behavior?
And now there are stories like this. There's frustration inside the administration and among some Republicans over the now deleted Truth Social post about the Obamas. Multiple people now saying Trump did not post the video. He was with a staffer at midnight who did it. and hadn't seen it before it was posted. One person says, AIDS are pretty pissed off. You can't attempt to clean up the mess by continuing to make it easy. Or another person says, I want to bring in Democratic Congress member, Seth Moulton, who's running for Senate in Massachusetts as well, Congress member. I read Caroline Levitt's post. That's Donald Trump's main PR communications person who said, stop being a snowflake we were doing lion king memes and that's why we posted the obamas like that and then they come up with this ah it's a staffer and then you have all these republicans it's inexcusable it's disqualified but say you're sorry we're okay i mean it's so embarrassing and this is vile stuff congressman
the guy's a racist, like we just shouldn't be surprised. I mean, it's vile, it's inexcusable, it's horrific. I mean, it would get President Clinton impeached. I mean, all these things are true, but it's also like, this is just what Trump does. So no one should be surprised when he actually posts something that's racist because he is a racist.
Why do some Republicans feel the need to distance themselves from Trump?
And what's remarkable is actually the fact that he just successfully deleted it when his own private justice department has been quite unsuccessful at deleting all the Epstein files that he's been trying to delete because he's guilty as charged there as well.
