MAGAt Pastor made a "direct and firm" demand to Trump that he fire the "Staffer" (MILLER?) who posted the Obama video

Yeah, fire the "staffer," because Trump is innocent, and he really didn't know the video included depictions of Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. Give Trump a pass and fire Miller and make Pastor Marky all tingly inside with the spirit of the risen whatever.

After a member of Pastors for Trump said he personally demanded that President Donald Trump fire a staffer who the White House claimed was responsible for posting a racist video of Barack and Michelle Obama, an investigative reporter flagged a potential culprit.

Bipartisan fury burned ahead of the weekend after Trump published a video on his Truth Social account in which the last few seconds contained the offensive Obama images. Pastor Mark Burns made comments about a "staffer" that stood out.

"The President made it clear to me that this post was made by a staffer and not by him. My recommendation to the President was direct and firm. That staffer should be fired immediately, and the President should publicly condemn this action," Burns wrote. "This kind of insensitive and racist communication does not reflect the heart, values, or leadership of the President of the United States, nor does it represent the America we are striving to build."

According to an investigative reporter with experience in the area, it's entirely possible that the staffer is the controversial White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

…the heart, values, or leadership of the President of the United States.”

It shouldn’t, but it most certainly damn well does reflect the heart, values and leadership of the current occupant of the White House.

I said in a different thread that, IMO, it really doesn’t matter if this was done by a staffer or by TSF himself, because, if done by a staffer, that staffer knew full well that their boss would be in full agreement with the vile nature of the content.
