Republican Party Faces Controversy Over Ape Comparison Video

Bobbie Coleman posted a video of Obama and Michelle Obama as apes on the Republican Party's Facebook page, later deleting it with an apology.
The video depicted Trump as a Lion King triumph over Democrats, with Coleman calling it a 'silly way' to mark policy victories.
Ape comparisons have historical roots in 18th-century racism and pseudo-science, used to justify enslavement and dehumanization.
The Kentucky Republican Party is investigating and will take harsh action, with Adam Hope stating accountability.
