Tim Scott of South Carolina, who is the only Black Republican in the Senate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Praying it was fake because it&#8217;s the most racist thing I&#8217;ve seen out of this White House,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/votetimscott\/status\/2019784005852242083?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">wrote<\/a> Scott, who leads Senate Republicans&#8217; campaign arm. &#8220;The President should remove it.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt initially defended the video, which amplified false claims about the 2020 presidential election. Leavitt said the footage that showed the Obamas&#8217; heads edited onto the bodies of apes was part of an &#8220;internet meme video&#8221; that portrayed Mr. Trump as &#8220;King of the Jungle&#8221; and Democrats as characters from the Lion King. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Pete Ricketts, a Nebraska Republican, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SenatorRicketts\/status\/2019814293366272277?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a>: &#8220;Even if this was a Lion King meme, a reasonable person sees the racist context to this. The White House should do what anyone does when they make a mistake: remove this and apologize.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>GOP Rep. Mike Lawler of New York <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/lawler4ny\/status\/2019792475230027868?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">called<\/a> the post &#8220;wrong and incredibly offensive.&#8221; Sen. Roger Wicker, a Mississippi Republican, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SenatorWicker\/status\/2019815415917211731?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a> it was &#8220;totally unacceptable.&#8221; Both said Mr. Trump should apologize.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Several shared their condemnation after the post \u2014 which was shared by Mr. Trump on Thursday night \u2014 was removed Friday afternoon. A White House official said a staffer &#8220;erroneously made the post.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SenatorCollins\/status\/2019826469493719184?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a> it was &#8220;appalling.&#8221; Sen. Dan Sullivan, an Alaska Republican, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SenDanSullivan\/status\/2019850836147617937?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a> he was glad the White House removed the &#8220;offensive&#8221; post.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Katie Britt, an Alabama Republican, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SenKatieBritt\/status\/2019836374753714430?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a> the video &#8220;should have never been posted to begin with, and is not who we are as a nation.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Republican Sen. John Curtis of Utah shared a similar sentiment as his colleagues, referring to the post as &#8220;blatantly racist and inexcusable.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It should never have been posted or left published for so long,&#8221; Curtis <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SenJohnCurtis\/status\/2019839025683767785?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>GOP Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio also <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RepMikeTurner\/status\/2019830561691558146?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">weighed in<\/a>: &#8220;I do not feel the need to respond to every inflammatory statement made by the White House. However, the release of racist images of former President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama is offensive, heart breaking, and unacceptable. President Trump should apologize.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>GOP Rep. John James of Michigan, who is Black, defended the president as &#8220;not racist,&#8221; but said he was &#8220;shocked and appalled&#8221; by the post.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m glad to see
