Portraits and the former First Couple look good to me. What is your opinion of them and Fox News hate-mongering perverts?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.

These Fox News, hate-mongers have sunken to a new depth of bigotry and perverted thought!
Hey, maybe the nude portrait of the current First Lady (an ex-strip-tease dancer) will be more appealing to Fox News sexists.

(15,235 posts)I am a US Navy veteran, who was homeless last winter. I slept in the camper on the back of an old pick-up truck. When needed I got medical treatment at the VA Medical Center, in Albuquerque, NM; but it gets very cold, especially at night during the winter in New Mexico; and WiFi connections were a gas-consuming luxury. Forgive me, if I am a bit out of touch. I didn't notice the date on the Fox News garbage-talk; however, a renewed effort by online hate-mongers, who are defacing the portraits, after Mid-term elections, sparked the Opening Post. One of the factors that led to this new wave of nastiness by racists, who altered the images in perverse ways, was Melania Trump claiming she was "the most bullied person in the world."
I remember when Michelle Obama was severely criticized for wearing a sleeveless, evening gown. First Lady Michelle Obama certainly experienced cyber bullying, including being called an ape in heels by a West Virginia mayor who celebrated the arrival of classy, beautiful, dignified Melania Trump, who had plenty of nude photographs online, resulting from her previous career, as a stripper. And then there was that mayor in the state of Washington who described Michelle Obama as gorilla face, to name but two of the more hateful instances.
