Troll Who Created Trump’s Racist Obama Video Was Behind Another Viral Outrage

The vile troll who used artificial intelligence to create a racist video of the Obamas shared by President Trump was behind another viral outrage.

Among dozens of posts fired out in quick succession by the 79-year-old overnight, there’s a clip that shows Michelle and Barack Obama with their heads superimposed onto the bodies of animated apes. The vile video, which drew wide criticism, was sensationally defended by the White House on Friday morning.

Despite the clear racist imagery, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told several outlets that the outrage concerning the video was “fake,” saying: “This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King. Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.”
