Several Black conservatives with ties to President Donald Trumps administration issued rare public rebukes after a video shared on the presidents social media platform late Thursday night included a racist animation depicting former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama with the bodies of apes.
The video was later deleted, and the White House said it had been posted in error by a staffer.
NAACP National President Derrick Johnson said in a statement Friday that the video was "blatantly racist, disgusting, and utterly despicable."
But the episode, which unfolded during Black History Month, exposed fault lines within Trump-aligned Black conservatism, where some expressed deep disappointment that the video was shared at all, while others defended the president and framed the controversy as an unfortunate but human error.
