Former US President Donald Trump has shared an image on social media that depicts former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as monkeys. The image was posted on Twitter, where it quickly gained attention and sparked outrage.
The White House has defended the image, with a spokesperson stating that it is being unfairly labeled as “fake outrage.” However, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) has condemned the image, calling it “the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.”
The image in question shows Obama and Michelle Obama with exaggerated facial features, similar to those of monkeys. The image was shared by Trump on Twitter earlier today.
Trump’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the image. However, the White House has released a statement defending the former president’s actions, saying that he is being unfairly targeted by critics.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation from politicians and civil rights groups. The Obama family has also spoken out against the image, with Michelle Obama calling it “racist.”
The image was shared on multiple social media platforms, including Twitter, where it quickly gained attention and sparked a heated debate.
