Hakeem Jeffries, the House Minority Leader, called President Donald Trump a “deranged scoundrel” and is demanding an investigation after he posted a racist video about the Democrats Barack and Michelle Obama.

On Thursday night, the nation's leader shared A video on the Truth Social platform titled "Trump: King of the Jungle," the content of which proved controversial. Near the end of the video, where he again refers—without any evidence—to the alleged fraud that led to his defeat in the 2020 election, the faces of Barack and Michelle Obama appear superimposed on the bodies of monkeys, with palm trees in the background, while the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," from the movie "The Lion King," plays.

Hours later, the outrage generated by the video forced Donald Trump to remove the post, which was attributed to a member of the White House staff.

This situation produced enormous anger, mainly among members of the Democratic Party and the African American community.

Through a message posted on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter, former Vice President Kamala Harris He accused the White House of trying to “cover up” for the president. "No one believes this White House cover-up, especially since they initially defended the release. We all know who Donald Trump is and what he believes in," he wrote. Meanwhile, Hakeem Jeffries demanded that Republicans John Thune, Senate Majority Leader, Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, and the rest of the conservative party denounce Trump. "This disgusting video, released by the so-called president, was intentionally made. To hell with Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and evil behavior. This guy is a deranged scoundrel. President Obama and Michelle Obama are brilliant, caring, and patriotic Americans."They represent the best of this country.

It's time for John Thune, Mike Johnson, and the Republicans to denounce this serial with artist sitting at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. pretending to be the President of the United States,” he said in a video shared on his Instagram account.
