Via press release:
Today marks the first day of Kwanzaa, a weeklong celebration of African American heritage and culture. Together, let us celebrate during this joyous time the richness of the past and look with hope toward a brighter future. As families and friends join to light the Kinara, Melania and I extend our warmest wishes for a joyful holiday season and a prosperous year to come.

I hope @realDonaldTrump was golfing when the “White House” posted this … (probably Nikki Haley) https://t.co/829wh1Zm4l

In 2011, Trump linked to a Gateway Pundit story calling Kwanzaa a “fake holiday.” #pivot pic.twitter.com/WdwGUtKbN6

What a convenient mistake: @BarackObama issued a statement for Kwanza but failed to issue one for Christmas. http://t.co/DodG53Rx

Trump has issued a brief statement for Kwanzaa. In 2011, he told a racist lie about Obama’s Kwanzaa statement, falsely saying Obama had done one for Kwanzaa but not Christmas. pic.twitter.com/WmkmSt7Tru
