Washington – A recent social media post by President Trump has drawn criticism from some Republican lawmakers. The post included an image of former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, that some found offensive.

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, the only Black Republican senator, stated his disapproval of the image. Other Republican senators, including Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, also voiced their concerns.
