Sean Hannity and other right-wing conservatives are calling out President Barack Obama‘s presidential portrait, accusing the painting of having hidden perversion.
In a blog post published on Tuesday and subsequently deleted, the Fox News anchor’s staff reports that “industry insiders” believe Kehinde Wiley secretly placed concealed images of sperm throughout his painting.
“Controversy surrounding Kehinde Wiley’s wildly non-traditional portrait of the Commander-in-Chief broke out within minutes of its unveiling; with industry insiders claiming the artist secretly inserted his trademark technique -concealing images of sperm within his paintings,” the post reads.
Hannity’s blog post also brings up comments Wiley made in 2012 about a provocative art piece he painted of a Black woman beheading a white woman. “It’s sort of a play on the ‘kill whitey’ thing,” he told New York Magazine.
OBAMA PORTRAITS TARGET OF RACISM
The attacks on Obama’s portrait have been ongoing since going public. While most of America was captivated by former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama‘s recently unveiled presidential portraits at the National Gallery, some right-wing and racist online users have used it as an opportunity to spread hate.
You don’t have to search far before coming across racist and misogynistic attacks aimed at the Obamas on Twitter, with some comparing the political couple to monkey (no surprise there), among other racist undertones.
In one photoshopped version of Barack Obama’s portrait, a user claims to have “fixed” it by portraying the former president behind bars. Another manipulated Michelle Obama’s face in not so flattering ways. Others are so grotesque it’s almost disbelieving.

Heh heh. Schadenfraude
They are... because he is.
As usual, Obama will try to wriggle out of it.
I suspect "most of America" was going WTF???
Man, are they reaching. Hannity’s staff reports on what some people say they think the images hold, and that morphs into “Hannity suggests portraits are perverted”?
Sheesh.
On twitter they were saying that the artist also did paintings of black women holding the severed heads of white women, with a knife in the other hand. The pictures were posted.
I’ll bet all the hi-def photos of the Fraud’s portrait are going away.
You have to admit, obama’s portrait has spunk.
C’mon Sean, we have more important, and many more urgent things to deal with these days...
Even Chewbacca gasped and had a WTF look on her face when the so-called portrait was first uncovered.
I see what you did there!
Must agree, Bathhouse Barry will try to swim away from trouble. Given his reputation as an on-the-down-low bottom, he may still take a couple of hits in the face.
I actually thought the portrait-part of the Obama portrait was extremely well done. I just couldn’t figure out why such a talented artist would put a President’s figure in the silly setting that he did.
We have a rather large thread going on this subject but many accused us of spreading ‘fake news’.

While most of America was captivated by former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama‘s recently unveiled presidential portraits .......
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
“Most” ...”captivated” ... that’s a Grand Canyon size leap ..... from the comments I’ve seen, the only people captivated are Obama/Mooch die-hard sycophants. I would bet a very small sum of money that if you knew what Obama/Mooch REALLY thought of those ‘portraits’, they don’t like them either - not flattering & the former Narcissist in Chief is all about himself & his image.
BTW, the sperm on Obama’s face isn’t that inconspicuous.
If you want to see how far afield the Obama portrait is compared to the other presidential portraits, here’s a link:

I dunno, it just looks to me like he is being metaphorically compared to his predecessor. It’s one of those paintings that will end up as an illustration in a psychology book in the future I think.
Both paintings are ok, but they’re pop art. Michelle looks white, I’m surprised no one is saying that.
He should have put the sperm in his mouth, not his forehead. Accuracy, you know.
No Suggestion about it, the photos tell the story.
