Bob Unruh did his best to justify a racist video from the Trump White House in a Feb. 6 article:
Democrats are unleashing a torrent of virulent attacks calling President Donald Trump racist after he reposted on Truth Social a minute-long video raising allegations of potential election fraud in the 2020 presidential race.
It’s because included was a literal second-long clip, AI-generated, showing Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys.
The link to the video on Truth Social later responded with a “Not found” note, indicating it was taken down, but numerous people captured the imagery and reposted it on social media:
[…]The Obamas appear on screen for about one second as a few notes from “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” play.
Leftist social media personality Harry Sisson condemned the president as “incredibly racist.”
A Fox outlet in Chicago said the White House described the rants as “fake outrage.”
Actually, the Fox outlet was quoting the Trump White House dismissing criticism as “fake outrage” without elaborating. Unruh then rehashed discredited conspiracy theories about the 2020 election:
The report said the video addressed what the outlet called “conspiracy theories” about the presidential election.
That election was the vote that was marred by two undue influences, the biggest being the FBI’s decision to interfere in the vote and claim that a long list of scandals involving Joe Biden and his family, revealed in a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden, came from Russian disinformation.
The bureau knew at the time it made that statement, encouraging media outlets and people to ignore the information, it all was accurate.
Also, there was the $400 million plus that Mark Zuckerberg handed out like candy to local elections officials, through foundations. Those officials often used the windfall to recruit voters in Democrat districts and it created an influence that never before had impacted American elections.
Unruh followed by lashing out at critics of the video:
The leftist New York Times, which has set itself up in opposition to literally all of President Trump’s plans to improve America, called it “one of the oldest and most profoundly racist slanders in American history.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who also has fought virtually every step of Trump’s work to repair and restore America, condemned the post.
Unruh didn’t explain how the criticism of the video from either the Times or Newsom was discredited by their supposed opposition to Trump policies.
