MAGA star claims Trump doesn't have 'attention span' to know Obama vid was racist
Right-wing influencer Ben Shapiro insisted that President Donald Trump did not have the "attention span" to realize that a racist video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes had been posted on his Truth Social account.
Media Matters first reported that Shapiro had addressed Trump's racist meme on his Friday show.
"There's a video that he posted over at Truth Social that apparently contains an image of the Obamas as apes," the MAGA star noted. "Do I think that President Trump even watched the whole video? I have serious doubts. President Trump has a habit of late-night Truthing, where he just sort of gets up at 3 AM, or he's up at 3 AM, and he just starts Truthing things out."
"And I'm almost certain that the president never watches the entirety of any video," he continued. "I don't think he has the attention span to get through any of the videos that he has tweeted. I think he sees that there is something that is pro-Trump, he puts it out there. And if there's an ugly image in there, either he ignores it or he didn't see it in the first place as a general rule."
"Now, does that justify it? It doesn't justify anything, but I think that the suggestion that the president did not watch the entirety of the video and that he just put that out late at night because he watched the first 25 seconds of the video or 40 seconds of the video, I would say that that is extremely high probability."
