WATCH: President Trump Refuses to Apologize for the “Obama Ape Meme”

Go to Article

Once again, the left is up in arms over something President Trump did on social media.

And this time, it wasn’t technically even President Trump who did it.

If you haven’t kept up with all the drama, I’ll sum it up for you.

This morning, a video about election fraud was posted on President Trump’s Truth Social account.

The last few seconds of the video clicked away to a meme of Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.

Here’s the full video, for reference:

As it turns out, a White House staffer accidentally included that last bit in the clip, which is originally from a longer, AI-generated meme video depicting multiple politicians as characters based on ‘The Lion King.’

If you want to watch the full video, here it is:

The video was quickly deleted from President Trump’s Truth Social page, and the White House released a statement saying that it was a mistake on the part of a Trump staffer.

But, of course, Democrats are crying “racism.”

Many of them are demanding that President Trump fire the staffer and apologize.

In response, President Trump is refusing to give in to such ridiculous requests.

Watch his answer to a reporter asking if he will fire the employee and apologize here:

Earlier today, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also shut down the Democrat “fake outrage” over the meme video.

Politico shared her statement:

In a statement issued before Scott’s criticism, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the backlash and said the clip came from a longer video that showed Trump as the Lion King and depicted top Democrats as jungle characters. Among others, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) — all longtime rivals of the president — are shown as an elephant, boar, meerkat and giraffe, respectively.

But none of the other Democrats were included in Trump’s post.

“This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King,” Leavitt said. “Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.”

President Trump and Karoline Leavitt are absolutely right.

Fake outrage is all it is.

It honestly says way more about the left than President Trump when they’re the ones always seeing “racism” everywhere…

Exactly this:

By the way, wasn’t it Michelle Obama who just a few weeks ago told people to avoid buying clothes from companies owned by white people?
