Sean Hannity and other right-wing conservatives are calling out President Barack Obamas presidential portrait, accusing the painting of having hidden perversion.
In a blog post published on Tuesday and subsequently deleted, the Fox News anchors staff reports that industry insiders believe Kehinde Wiley secretly placed concealed images of sperm throughout his painting.
Controversy surrounding Kehinde Wileys 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.
Hannitys 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. Its sort of a play on the kill whitey thing, he told New York Magazine.
OBAMA PORTRAITS TARGET OF RACISM
The attacks on Obamas portrait have been ongoing since going public. While most of America was captivated by former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obamas 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 dont 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 Obamas portrait, a user claims to have fixed it by portraying the former president behind bars. Another manipulated Michelle Obamas face in not so flattering ways. Others are so grotesque its almost disbelieving.

Everything about that piece of crap is perverted and corrupt. And it sure feels good to come right out and say it.
Yes; they’re both going to be very dated, pretty quickly.
(Taste is something you CAN acquire - you don’t have to be born to it. But if you eschew the entire notion, you’ll have to live-down stuff like this forever.)
Well, he does stand out.
Barack looks like mother nature and Michelle looks like Father Sky.
They are awful paintings. No sense of shadow, light source, or placement on either of them. His background, with no shadows of him or his chair, in front of what looks like leaf wallpaper, is repetitious, and the 3 flower blooms don’t have foliage, nor do they grow on walls..
The garish dress on her will cause even Michelle Obama to feel embarrassed in the very near future. Her painting looks like one of those cheesy Vargas or Patrick Nagel gold colored framed hair salon poster art pieces from the late 1980’s.
From the article, sperm appears to be an intentional feature of this 'artist's' work:
And a theory to explain the gimmick.
One artist's gimmick is making the model's clothing more alive than the model.
The other artist's gimmick is making wallpaper the background for everything.
It's kind of a crutch, isn't it?
They guy could do very good paintings, but it's easier to use wallpaper patterns than to paint real background scenes.
He must have a theory that convinces people that there's some deep reason for painting the way he does.

By captivated I’m sure he means pointing and laughing.
Not the first time he had someone else’s on his face.
So the big story, Sean, isnt that Obamas commissioned a racist artist to paint his official portrait who also painted black women beheading white women but that there are some indistinct shapes that look like sperm? Sometimes Conservatives cant get out of their own way.
Well, we know that 0bama is sexually perverted, so it only stands to reason that his portrait . . .
Sperminator loves it on his face. Disgusting perv.
Artist should be illustrating sci fi comic books.
I find the portrait as disgusting as the subject.
That’s one giant spermatozoa. Either that or Reggie or some other “Man’s Country” butt buddy left his man-juice all over Obama’s face (which is quite likely).
No. I believe they are great representations of the greatest frauds in US history.
Imagine if some white “artist” got off painting white people holding the severed heads of blacks? It would be a “hate crime” and he or she would be carted off to jail somewhere. But if the shoe’s on the other foot, this racist scumbag is honored and has a painting hung in our National Portrait Gallery.
And the blanking media doesn’t say a blanking word - indeed, it has orgasms over how great the painting of Barack Hussein Obama (mmm, mmm, mmm) is.
Just disgusting.
A violent racist thug with weird sexual overtones?
No wonder Obama chose this guy. Birds of a feather flock together.
Come on, Sean...
They’re awful paintings, but there’s nothing sexual about them.
They’re just gaudy, bad form and ugly.
Who the hell approved the selection of the painter and who approved the actual portrait? This is a typical Obama big "FU America." I would think somebody has the authority to reject these two monstrosities.
