Some of the reposts included older news clips centered around Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and a 2020 report she previously claimed showed Obama played a role in pushing narratives about Russian election interference in an effort to damage Trump politically.
Obama denied those accusations at the time, calling them “bizarre” and “a weak attempt at distraction.”

Barack Obama on Trump’s AI ape video of him and Michelle
Barack Obama recently also addressed the wildly criticized AI-generated video Trump posted earlier this year, depicting Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes. In an interview with The New Yorker, he said he does not necessarily view it as a personal attack – but feels differently when it comes to his family.
Obama said: “I don’t take it personally,” and continued: “I mean, I’m always offended when my wife and kids get dragged into things, because they didn’t choose this… That’s a line that even people whose politics I deeply reject, I would expect them to care about. I would never talk about somebody’s family in that way.”
