the Obamas are by a wide margin the most popular political figures in the country and the video is so bad major newspapers are flat out calling it "racist" rather than "racially charged"
their only move with anything is to double down so by all means let them double down on this
every dem should immediately shift to the obamas-as-apes video trump posted, because it is instantly recognizable to normies are insanely racist and opens up numerous lines of questioning
you know something is monumentally terrible when they actually delete it and do the "blame a staffer" duck! this is not an administration that ever pulls this, their whole thing is "yeah and we meant it and fuck you"
POLITICO reporting that the White House has now claimed the ape video was an accident and removed it.
