AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
US President Donald Trump has removed a social media video which included a racist clip depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.
The clip - set to the song The Lion Sleeps Tonight - was at the end of a 62-second video containing claims about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
Republican Senator Tim Scott - who is black - had called for the president to remove the post, describing it as "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House".
