Radio Host Tommy Sotomayor Trump’s Obama Ape Clip Isn’t Offensive

Radio host Tommy Sotomayor says he’s not offended in the slightest by President Trump posting a short video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.
Tommy joined us on “TMZ Live” Friday, and we asked how he felt seeing Trump share a blatantly racist video clip … and he explained why he thinks Black people shouldn’t be outraged.
The radio host’s reasoning here was enough for us to stop him right in his tracks for a quick history lesson … but Tommy really dug his heels in and tried to bring up some other issues … and the conversation even veered off into colorism.
Trump has since deleted the Truth Social post, and while Tommy says it was wrong to post it in the first place … he won’t say it’s because of racism.
Some Republicans came out and criticized Trump for the post … and Tommy says that’s a good thing.
One thing we can all laugh at … Trump is kind of orange.
