President Trump brought in Black History Month with the now-infamous “Ape Video,” a clip he posted to Truth Social of the Obamas’ faces superimposed onto apes… The public was understandably outraged but NLP was not surprised, this behavior is nothing new for Trump, America, or Republicans. What never ceases to amaze are the skin folk (not kin folk) who rushed out to defend the president’s heavy-handed racism.
Our hosts close the show by reading letters from the Dilley Immigration Detention Center in Texas, where young children are being held.
