綜合環球網、央視新聞報道,美國總統特朗普的社交媒體賬號5日夜間發布一段涉及前總統奧巴馬及其夫人米歇爾的視頻片段。
該視頻片段中有兩個靈長類動物的畫面,它們的臉被剪輯成了奧巴馬及其夫人米歇爾的笑臉。該視頻片段涉嫌種族歧視,引發各方強烈不滿和譴責。大約十個小時后,白宮方面6日將視頻刪除。

美國總統特朗普拒絕為種族主義視頻道歉,稱自己只觀看了這段視頻的前半部分,并沒有看到包含冒犯性內容的最后幾幀畫面。
US President Donald Trump refused to apologize Friday after posting and then deleting a racist video depicting former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes in a jungle, insisting he hadn’t seen the final frames containing the offensive content and blaming a staffer for the mistake.

白宮一名高級官員6日中午對媒體說,此帖為白宮一名雇員“誤發”,已被刪除。
The White House said on Friday, after the video was removed, that a staffer had posted it in error.
而數小時前,白宮新聞秘書萊維特表示,該帖沒有任何冒犯之處。她在一份媒體聲明中寫道,該片段截取自一個網絡視頻,“視頻中,特朗普總統被描繪成叢林之王,而民主黨人則被比作《獅子王》中的角色。停止這種虛假的憤怒,報道一些今天對美國公眾意義重大的事情吧。”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, when first asked for comment early Friday, had said, "This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from
The Lion King. Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public."
據新華社此前報道,特朗普社媒賬號發布該視頻片段后,各方即刻表達強烈不滿和譴責。數名資深共和黨籍參議員指責此舉涉嫌種族主義,呼吁將視頻片段刪除。
民主黨方面更是予以強烈譴責。眾議院民主黨領袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯在社交媒體上呼吁所有共和黨人立即譴責特朗普“令人憎惡的偏執”。加利福尼亞州州長、民主黨人紐森稱,發布這一視頻片段是“卑鄙的行為”。
The office of California Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the video in a post on X, writing: “Disgusting behavior by the President. Every single Republican must denounce this. Now.”
美國前副總統哈里斯在社交平臺上發聲。她表示,沒有人相信白宮這種欲蓋彌彰的行為,尤其是他們一開始還為那條帖子辯護。“我們都知道特朗普是什么樣的人,也知道他相信些什么。”
Former vice-president Kamala Harris criticized the White House’s explanation, writing on X: “No one believes this cover-up from the White House, especially since they originally defended the post. We are all clear-eyed about who Donald Trump is and what he believes.”
美國媒體援引全國有色人種協進會主席德里克·約翰遜的聲明說,該視頻片段“公然帶有種族歧視色彩,令人作嘔,極其卑鄙”。“選民們正在關注此事,并將在投票時記住它。”
