White House deletes video depicting Obamas as apes

The White House confirmed that a video posted to President Donald Trump’s social media account showing former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama with their heads superimposed onto primates’ bodies was removed after being posted in error by a staff member.

The video, which also featured other elected officials depicted as animals, referenced 2020 election fraud claims and included the song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”

The post drew criticism from Democratic officials and some Republicans, who described it as offensive and called for its removal and an apology. The incident follows a separate AI-generated video shared last year that depicted Obama being arrested in a staged scene.
