US House Speaker Pelosi strongly condemns Trump’s racist video about Obamas
WASHINGTON, Feb. 07 (YPA) – US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi strongly condemned a video by President Donald Trump that insulted former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, depicting them as apes.
“The overnight post from the President of the United States is nothing but vile, racist filth. He should be ashamed of himself, if he were capable of shame,” Nancy Pelosi wrote on X.

Taking it down is not enough. The White House must apologize for this beyond disgusting behavior. https://t.co/bDAoE6SkXO— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) February 6, 2026
She added, “Taking it down is not enough. The White House must apologize for this beyond disgusting behavior.”
Meanwhile, Israel’s Channel 12 reported that a White House official stated the video posted on Trump’s account, which included an offensive comparison of the Obamas to “as apes,” was uploaded accidentally by an employee.
The official emphasized that the situation was immediately rectified once discovered, with the post promptly deleted, and stressed that the incident was unintentional.
