Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday removed an article from his radio shows website that claimed the official portrait of former President Barack Obama contained secret images of sperm.
Controversy surrounding Kehinde Wileys wildly non-traditional portrait of the Commander-in-Chief broke out within minutes of its unveiling, the article, written by Hannity staff asserted, with industry insiders claiming the artist secretly inserted his trademark technique -concealing images of sperm within his paintings.
An archived version of the post can be read here: https://web.archive.org/web/20180213185221/https://www.hannity.com/media-room/portrait-perversion-obama-portrait-features-secret-sperm-artist-joked-about-killing-whitey/
The article included an excerpt from a 2008 New York Times profile, which claimed of Wiley: His portraits initially depicted African-American men against rich textile or wallpaper backgrounds whose patterns he has likened to abstractions of sperm.

(5,020 posts)there are also eggs. Brightly colored ones. And a giant bunny came in the night and deposited them all, so that the sperm and eggs could unite to create little tiny-handed orange creatures that scurry under furniture when the light comes on.
