As we discussed here, Sen. Tim Scott and others were rightfully horrified by Trump’s racist social media post depicting the Obamas as apes, and Trump and his White House have gone from feigning ignorance, to blaming it on a staffer, to now defending what he did.
We’re apparently now at the doubling down revenge stage for anyone that dared to speak out about it.
CNN’s Alayna Treene reported on Anderson Cooper’s show this Friday that Trump is enraged at Senators Tim Scott and Katie Britt, because we all know that Trump’s racism isn’t the problem, it’s anyone who dares to be offended by it.
REPORTER: Mr. President, have you fired or disciplined that staffer who posted the video from your account that included the Obamas?
TRUMP: No, I haven’t.
COOPER: The president yesterday saying there have been no consequences for the purported staffer who allegedly posted the racist meme that went up on his social feed a week ago Thursday. Former President Michelle Obama’s apes.
