Trump declines to apologize for video featuring Barack and Michelle Obama

Former President Donald Trump faced backlash for sharing a video that crudely depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, which has been labeled one of the most racist incidents from the White House. Despite the video’s deletion and a White House official claiming it was posted in error, Trump refused to apologize, stating he only intended to share strong commentary on election fraud. Senator Tim Scott condemned the video, while a White House spokesperson dismissed the outrage as fake.
