White House Backs Down After Bipartisan Backlash

It’s not every day the White House admits it’s made a mistake, but that’s exactly what happened after President Trump shared a racist video of the Obamas. The clip, which sparked outrage from both sides of the aisle, is now gone – and it’s about time.

A Bad Idea from the Start

Sharing the video was a ridiculous move, and it won’t surprise anyone that it blew up in Trump’s face. The backlash was immediate, with lawmakers from both parties slamming the president for promoting hate. It’s a miracle it took the White House this long to realize their mistake and take down the video.

Don’t expect an apology from Trump anytime soon, though. That’s just not his style. But for now, it’s a small victory for common sense – and a reminder that even the most powerful people in the world can’t get away with spreading hate.
