President Donald Trump threw White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt under the bus after she attempted to defend his remarks about seizing federal control over U.S. elections.

Donald Trump shared a video on Truth Social that included a racist image depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, which was subsequently deleted.

Senator Tim Scott, who is the only black Republican to have a seat in the senate, described it as ‘the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House’.
