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.

Writing on Twitter, Hannity said that Obama's portrait, which was unveiled on Monday, was loaded with "inappropriate sexual innuendo" that showed "a stark contrast to predecessors."

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

[Editor's note: Fox personality Sean Hannity pulled the post down late Tuesday afternoon stating, "It does not reflect my voice."]

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."

The article was later deleted from the website. "Earlier today my web staff posted content that was not reviewed by me before publication. It does not reflect my voice and message and, therefore, I had it taken down," Hannity said in a statement.
