Trump "reportedly" ranted about Katie Britt being "dead to him" for criticizing his Obamas-as-apes video
Trump removed the video amid condemnation from Democrats and Republicans alike, but refused to apologize for sharing it. Instead, he reportedly seethed about criticism from Sens. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.).
Scott, who is the only Black Republican senator, had written on X, “Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.”
“The president felt he could’ve handled that matter privately,” a senior Trump administration official told CNN about the president’s issue with Scott. “He was like, ‘We work together all the time. He didn’t need to comment publicly.’”
The president reportedly had far harsher words for Britt, claiming during an expletive-laden tirade that she was dead to him, one of the sources recalled to CNN. Her office told the outlet Friday that this is “fake news” and extolled her working relationship with Trump.
The White House later told CNN that Trump has “great respect” for Britt, calling her an “incredibly ally.”
