Gospel Music Legend Sandi Patty has publicly addressed a controversial video featuring a Racist Animation of Former President Barack Obama and Former First Lady Michelle Obama, which was briefly posted and then deleted from President Donald Trump’s Truth Social account.

In a heartfelt Instagram video, Patty, who identifies as a follower of Jesus, a registered Republican, and a proud American, shared her thoughts after careful consideration.

“Mr. President, the video on Truth Social was inexcusable,” Patty declared, directing her comments to Trump.

She firmly stated, “You owe America, especially Black America, an apology.”

While grateful that the video was removed, Patty emphasized that its removal was “not enough,” explaining that “Anyone in the free world, let alone the not free world, knows that the images on that video is the pinnacle of a racial insult.”

Patty further asserted that “There is no explaining it away. There’s no offloading it to a low-level staff member. The buck stops with you, sir.”

She underscored the personal impact, noting, “My son needs you to do better. My son is a man of color, the millions of people of color in our country need you to do better. Mr. President, we need you to set the example and we need you to do the right thing.”

According to ABC News, President Trump addressed the video with reporters on Friday (Feb. 6). He claimed to have only viewed the initial segment of the video, stating,

“I guess during the end of it, there was some kind of picture people don’t like. I wouldn’t like it either, but I didn’t see it. I just, I looked at the first part, and it was really about voter fraud.”

When questioned about an apology, Trump reportedly replied, “No, I didn’t make a mistake. I mean…I look at a lot of, thousands of things, and I looked at the beginning of it. It was fine.”

He further clarified that he condemns the racist section of the video, responding, “Of course I do.”
