Hannity comes completely unglued over alleged 'secret sperm' hidden in Obama's portrait

Sean Hannity comes completely unglued over alleged ‘secret sperm’ hidden in Obama’s portrait

Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday came completely unglued over what he claimed was a “secret sperm” hidden within former President Barack Obama’s official portrait.

Obama's portrait – a stark contrast to predecessors with inappropriate sexual innuendo https://t.co/YupamDxqKt

— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) February 13, 2018


As evidence for this claim, Hannity posted a link to an article on his own website titled, “PORTRAIT PERVERSION: Obama Portrait Features ‘SECRET SPERM.'”

The article itself details Obama portrait artist Kehinde Wiley’s past use of what the New York Times has described as “rich textile or wallpaper backgrounds whose patterns he has likened to abstractions of sperm.”

The article then zooms in on a portion of the Obama portrait that it believes depicts a sperm swimming on the former president’s head, just around the area of his left temple.

The Hannity article said that the purported sperm in the Obama painting was part of a “shocking” and “widening scandal” about the portrait. In addition to painting the supposed sperm, notes the Hannity article, Kehinde Wiley has in the past made jokes about “killing Whitey.” See the detail of the Obama portrait yourself below.

why would KW put that in there and if so, what does it even mean?


Hannity is going barking mad/entering Alex Jones territory. Hannity has always been a kook but this is bonkers. Maybe the strain of losing Ailes and O'Reilly is just too much for him?

Pretty common in men his age, really. I have one, too. Finding sperm seems to be a thing for Hannity, I guess.

Given his prior work experience was putting roofs on houses, i suppose it would be easy to leave his mind in the gutter.

The Light Side Of... series, where an old man is berating an artist standing next to his painting for putting all sorts of filth and obsene things in it. The artist tries to explain that it's an abstract piece, and everyone sees something different, and the old man replies that he knows filth when he sees it, and "There's no doubt, young man... you have a filthy mind!"

Dan Lavoie, a staffer for New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, flagged that the baseless conspiracy had earlier appeared on the message board website 4Chan — by now a well-known hub for alt-right and white nationalist chatter.
