Former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said today (February 7): "The post released by U.S. President Trump last night is despicable racist garbage. If he still has a sense of shame, he should feel ashamed. Simply removing this post is not enough. The White House must apologize for this disgusting behavior."
The incident was as follows: President Trump deleted a racist video that depicted the Obama couple as monkeys. The White House initially defended the video and then shifted the blame to a staff member.
The following is the post published by Trump.
Comment: The core of this matter is clear: Trump posted a racist video that defamed the Obama couple → the White House first covered up → shifted the blame to a staff member → was forced to delete the post → the Democrats launched a fierce criticism. This is a concentrated outbreak of the U.S. party confrontation, racial issues tearing the country apart, and Trump's personal style and disorderly governance at the White House. The entire incident also once again proves that the vicious fights between the two parties in the United States and the racial tensions have long since lost all limits. The president's account has become a tool for inciting hatred, and the so-called political civilization and equality and inclusiveness have long been cast aside in practical struggles.
