The White Home defended President Donald Trump on Friday after a late Thursday evening publish on his Fact Social account featured an AI-generated clip of President Barack and former First Girl Michelle Obama as apes.
“That is from an Web meme video depicting President Trump because the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from ‘The Lion King,’” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt mentioned in a press release. “Please cease the faux outrage and report on one thing in the present day that really issues to the American public.”
The video in query, which was posted twice, lasts 1:02 and principally covers a conspiracy principle associated to voting machines and rigged elections. The ultimate two seconds of the video run right into a second screen-recorded clip, which depicts the Obamas as monkeys, set to the tune of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s workplace responded on Xwriting, “Disgusting conduct by the President. Each single Republican should denounce this. Now.”
