Trump's Racist Video Sparks Outrage from Congressional Black Caucus

The chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, Rep. Yvette Clarke, has spoken out against Donald Trump following a racist video posted on his social media account. The video, which unfairly portrays former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as primates in a jungle setting, was quickly deleted by the White House after causing significant backlash.

During an interview with the Associated Press, Clarke expressed her dismay, calling the incident 'bigoted and racist' and highlighting its potential negative impact on young Black children who may view Trump's behavior as acceptable leadership. She urged the administration to change its course and stressed the importance of unity in combating racism and bigotry.
