Tim Scott (R-SC), who called it the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House. After 12 hours or so, the post was deleted, with an unnamed White House official claiming A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down."
"ALAYNA TREENE: Not necessarily, but we have a good idea, Anderson, from what we've even heard the president say this week when we saw six Republicans break with him on a different issue, on his tariffs on Canada. He said that they would likely face primaries and would suffer consequences in the elections."
President Trump posted a Truth Social video that included an image depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, prompting widespread outrage. Sen. Tim Scott called the post the most racist thing he had seen from the White House.
