TIM POOL (HOST): No. He posted -- this is the original video, but he posted this, and it shows Michelle and Barack Obama as apes. And the media is losing its mind saying that it's racist. He he also made Hillary Clinton a warthog and Hakeem Jeffries is, like, a lemur or something. And the whole point of it is he's the king of the jungle, and all the different animals in the jungle are worshiping Donald Trump. So I'm gonna play this video for you and show you the context. It is not racist. It is the stupidest thing imaginable that whenever you have anything related to monkeys, Democrats are like Black people? Black -- yo. But the lemur is not offensive. The warthog is not offensive. This is just a meme where Trump is the king of the jungle. But you know what? They're always trying to find some reason to be outraged. So here's the original video that went viral, and this is why they're calling Donald Trump racist.
