Trump Deletes Racist Obama Video; Harris Calls White House 'Cover-Up'
After sharing a racist Obama video on Truth Social, Trump deletes the post as White House claims a staff error—Kamala Harris calls it a cover-up.
A social media post shared by the former president included a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama with a racist trope, and he later deleted the post. The White House initially defended the post before stating it was the result of a staff error.
Kamala Harris slammed what she called a cover-up by White House aides, saying no one should trust the original defense and that the truth about the president’s beliefs is clear. An Obama spokeswoman said the former president had no response.
The incident sparked outrage across the political spectrum and reignited debates about misinformation, accountability, and the ethics of platform-sourced posts from the highest office.
As the story unfolds, observers are watching how the White House handles the fallout and whether there will be any formal apology or clarifications.
