A Republican candidate for Kentucky’s House of Representatives has expressed no remorse for a series of racially charged posts on his Facebook page including several likening the Obamas to monkeys. Dan Johnson, the man in question, recently said he is in fact the candidate who will “make Kentucky great again.”
Johnson was caught posting a picture of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama likened to chimpanzees, as well as a picture of a monkey captioned, “Obama’s baby picture.” He also posted a picture of President Ronald Reagan bottle-feeding a chimpanzee with the caption, “Rare photo of Ronald Reagan babysitting Barack Obama in early 1962.”
Johnson denied these photos were racist and in fact said that not posting negative photos about the Obamas would be racist.
