'Disgusting': Hakeem Jeffries blasts Trump over racist AI video of Obamas



President Trump is refusing to apologize for a racist video he posted of the Obamas, telling reporters last night that he didn't do anything wrong. He says he didn't watch the whole video before passing it on to a staffer who he says quote "slipped and missed" the racist part before posting it. The uproar began when The President of the United States shared a video on his Truth Social depicting former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes, a racist trope with deeply historical roots. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins “The Weekend” to discuss.
