"Donald Trump's posting of a video depicting former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes was the most overtly racist act of a president since Woodrow Wilson segregated the federal civil service or since Trump's previous racist gesture. The racist imagery Trump posted was so egregious that the video's misogyny representing Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as animals was overlooked."
"And down the memory hole are the 3m long-suppressed documents from the Epstein files in which he is mentioned in its unredacted pages more than a million times, according to the Democratic representative Jamie Raskin, who was permitted access. The only Black Republican US senator, Tim Scott of South Carolina, said of the Obama portrayal: It's the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House, though Scott did not disclose any list, which could have been drawn from an encyclopedia of offenses."
Donald Trump posted a video portraying Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, characterized as the most overtly racist presidential act since Woodrow Wilson segregated the civil service. The same video depicted Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as animals, presenting misogyny that went largely unremarked. Suppressed Epstein files reportedly mention Trump more than a million times in unredacted pages, according to Representative Jamie Raskin. Senator Tim Scott called the Obama portrayal the most racist thing he had seen from the White House. Trump previously shared a supporter chanting white power and minimized Black suffering in a New York Times interview. An executive order led to removal of slavery references at national parks.
