Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, one of the highest-ranking Black Republicans in Washington, called the video “the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.”

Donald Trump shared a video on Truth Social that included a racist image depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, which was subsequently deleted.

Several Republican lawmakers, including Senators Tim Scott, Mike Lawler, Roger Wicker, and Pete Ricketts, criticized the video, with some calling it “racist” and “unacceptable.”
