Donald Trump received rare blowback from Republican lawmakers over a video posted to social media that included a racist image of former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, depicted as primates.

Since Trump’s return to the White House, Republican lawmakers have treaded carefully when disagreeing with the president, often communicating their concerns in private for fear of suffering his wrath.

But the swift calls to remove the post, which also echoed false conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, represented a rare moment of bipartisan backlash to Trump’s actions from lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

    It’s what I say about Trump and Republicans as an American that voted for Kamala. You’re not wrong, the entire country needs shook to the ground for voting in the malignant cancer.

      If your country manages to remove the fascists from power in future, the leaders need to be put on trial for high treason & crimes against the people, then jailed for life or executed. Same goes for any collaborators such as the ultra rich donors and politicians who capitulated to the fascists.

      After that, all MAGA cult members need to undergo deprogramming and reeducation to ensure that they are no longer an active threat to democracy. Any of those who cannot be convinced should be treated as mentally unwell and placed into asylums to protect society.
