特朗普称他“没看到”社交媒体帖子中将奥巴马夫妇描绘成猿类的图片


更新时间:2026年2月6日 / 美国东部时间晚上9:38 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

周五晚些时候,特朗普总统回应了一则发布在其社交媒体账号上的视频,该视频包含对巴拉克·奥巴马和米歇尔·奥巴马的种族主义描绘,将他们刻画为猿类。他告诉记者,他只看了该视频的开头部分,而该视频现已被删除,他并未看到展示前总统和第一夫人的那部分内容。

“我只看了开头部分,”总统在空军一号上说道,指出视频的大部分内容是关于所谓的选民欺诈。“我没有看完整个视频。我猜在视频结尾部分,有某种图片是人们不喜欢的。我也不会喜欢那样的内容,但我没看到。”

他表示,他将视频交给了一名工作人员,称“有人疏忽了”,并在周四午夜前不久未经发现视频最后几秒中对奥巴马夫妇的描绘,就将其发布到了他的“真实社交”(Truth Social)账号上。

“通常情况下,他们会检查整个视频,但我猜有人没有检查,然后就发布了,”特朗普先生说。“我们一发现就把它删除了。”

白宫周五最初为这条社交媒体帖子进行了辩护。新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特称对该视频的批评是“虚假愤怒”,并表示将奥巴马夫妇的脸编辑到猿类身体上的图片是一个模因的一部分,该模因将民主党人描绘成《狮子王》中的角色。

但一连串的共和党议员迅速谴责了这条帖子,并敦促特朗普将其删除,南卡罗来纳州参议员蒂姆·斯科特称其为“我在这个白宫看到的最具种族主义色彩的内容”。几名共和党人还敦促白宫道歉。

特朗普告诉记者,他已与参议院唯一的黑人参议员斯科特进行了交谈,这证实了哥伦比亚广播公司新闻早些时候的报道。在他们交谈后不久,该帖子从“真实社交”账号上被删除。

当被问及是否打算为该帖子道歉时,特朗普回应道:“不,我没有犯错。”但他表示,他“当然”谴责视频中的种族主义内容。

Trump says he “didn’t see” image depicting Obamas as apes in social media post

Updated on: February 6, 2026 / 9:38 PM EST / CBS News

President Trump late Friday addressed a video posted to his social media account that included a racist depiction of Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, telling reporters he looked at the beginning of the now-deleted video but didn’t see the part that showed the former president and first lady.

“I just looked at the first part,” the president said on Air Force One, noting that most of the video was about alleged voter fraud. “I didn’t see the whole thing. I guess during the end of it, there was some kind of a picture that people don’t like. I wouldn’t like it either, but I didn’t see it.”

He suggested that he gave the video to a staffer, saying “somebody slipped” and posted it to his Truth Social account shortly before midnight on Thursday without spotting the depiction of the Obamas in the last few seconds.

“Generally they’d look at the whole thing, but I guess somebody didn’t, and they posted,” Mr. Trump said. “We took it down as soon as we found out about it.”

The White House initially defended the social media post on Friday. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt called criticism of the video “fake outrage,” and said the image of the Obamas’ faces edited onto the bodies of apes was part of a meme that depicted Democrats as characters from the Lion King.

But a litany of Republican lawmakers quickly condemned the post and urged Mr. Trump to take it down, with Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina calling it “the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.” Several Republicans also pushed the White House to apologize.

Mr. Trump told reporters he spoke with Scott, the Senate’s sole Black Republican, confirming earlier reporting from CBS News. The post was deleted from Truth Social soon after their conversation.

Asked if he intends to apologize for the post, Mr. Trump responded: “No, I didn’t make a mistake.” But he said he “of course” condemns the racist portion of the video.
