Good evening, I’m British Chris, and this is Raw America.
Tonight, we’ve got four stories that show something remarkable happening: Trump’s own people are finally holding him accountable. A racist video of the Obamas gets deleted after his own party revolts. A border thug gets kicked out of Vegas bars like he was kicked out of Minneapolis. A Supreme Court justice appears ready to jump ship. And explosive new claims suggest Trump’s own administration wanted Jeffrey Epstein dead.
While corporate media treats these as separate scandals, Raw America connects the dots they won’t. These aren’t isolated incidents—they’re signs that the walls are closing in.
Thomas Jefferson wrote that he would choose “newspapers without government” over “government without newspapers” because without the spotlight of journalism, officers of government “shall all become wolves.” Jefferson trusted the people to be democracy’s army—but that army needs ammunition. Every subscription to Raw America is a vote for journalism that answers to readers, not billionaires. Join our movement today.
Trump’s Racist Post Backfires Spectacularly
Let’s start with the biggest story: Trump posted a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, then scrambled to delete it after facing the strongest Republican backlash of his presidency.
The clip was spliced into a conspiracy theory video about the 2020 election, set to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” It showed the Obamas as apes in what one civil rights leader called a “digital minstrel show”—the same dehumanizing imagery used by slave traders and segregationists to justify lynchings.
But here’s what’s different this time: his own party said no.
Senator Tim Scott, the Senate’s only Black Republican, wrote: “I hope this post is fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House. The President should remove it.” Representative Mike Lawler called it “wrong and incredibly offensive.” Senator Roger Wicker demanded Trump “take it down and apologize.”
Even more telling: Mark Burns from “Pastors for Trump” personally called the president and demanded he fire whoever posted it. “Racism must be confronted, not excused,” Burns said. “Accountability matters.”
Trump’s response? The video disappeared, and suddenly it was all a staffer’s fault. The same president who takes credit for everything good claims he knew nothing about one of the most racist posts in presidential history.
Border Thug Gets Vegas Treatment
Speaking of consequences, remember Gregory Bovino? Trump’s border enforcer who oversaw the execution of two American citizens in Minneapolis—ICU nurse Alex Pretti and mother Renee Good?
After Trump quietly shipped him back to California following massive public outcry, Bovino decided to celebrate with a boozy night out in Las Vegas. But even Sin City has standards.
The Bottled Blonde bar kicked him out and escorted him off the premises “to maintain a safe and orderly environment for all patrons.” That’s right—a Las Vegas bar found him too toxic for their customers.
Think about that. The man who ran Trump’s “Green Machine” deportation squads, who bragged about executing an ICU nurse as a “terrorist,” can’t even get a drink in Vegas without being shown the door.
Alito Heading for the Exit?
But the most intriguing story tonight might be Samuel Alito’s apparent retirement plans. His new book drops October 6th—the day after the Supreme Court’s new term begins. This raised speculation in The Nation today as to whether he might be on the way out.
Every other sitting justice releases books in September or May when they’re free to promote them. Alito’s timing suggests he won’t be busy with Supreme Court duties, possibly because he won’t be on the Supreme Court.
Election analyst Elie Mystal believes Alito is jumping ship before Republicans potentially lose the Senate in November. At 76, having accomplished his goal of overturning Roe, Alito wants out while Trump can still replace him with “another Sam Alito who is 30 years younger.”
Even the Supreme Court’s conservative anchor sees the writing on the wall.
Epstein’s Cellmate Claims Administration Wanted Him Dead
And then there’s this explosive revelation: Jeffrey Epstein’s cellmate claims the Trump administration wanted the convicted child trafficker dead.
Nicholas Tartaglione, a former cop facing murder charges, filed a pardon petition claiming Epstein was “deliberately exposed to violence in the hope that he would not survive long enough to stand trial.”
“I clearly was not protected on purpose, nor was Epstein,” Tartaglione wrote. “I truly believe that the government wanted both Epstein and me dead.”
Remember, this comes as newly released emails show Epstein bragging about celebrating around Christmas 2016 “with all the trump boys”—destroying Trump’s claims that he cut ties years earlier.
Epstein had dirt on Trump, Trump becomes president, Epstein gets placed with a violent cellmate known for hating child sex offenders, and Epstein winds up dead. Tartaglione insists it was no coincidence.
The Dam Is Breaking
Here’s what tonight’s stories really reveal: accountability is spreading through Trump’s movement like wildfire.
Republican senators are publicly demanding he remove racist content. Vegas bars are refusing to serve his enforcers. Even “Pastors for Trump” members are personally calling to demand he fire racist staff.
This isn’t the invincible Trump movement of 2016. This is a cornered administration watching its support crumble in real time. America is rejecting Trumpism, and his own people are leading the charge.
Corporate outlets won’t tell you this story because they’re afraid to call the collapse what it is. Raw America exists because you deserve the truth: the resistance isn’t just growing—it’s winning.
Every subscription, every share, every person who refuses to normalize racism and brutality helps build the movement that’s finally holding power accountable.
This is hope in action.
I’m British Chris for Raw America. Thanks for watching.
