Senate Candidate’s Son: Send Obama ‘Back to Kenya’

If it’s not the Tea Party kooks, the voter suppression laws or the U.S. corporations conspiring to hand the election to GOP candidate Mitt Romney, it’s so-called upstanding citizens making racist, xenophobic and irrational statements to publicly whoop up anti-presidential, anti-Obma and anti-American hatred. Hatred against the president of the United States should be seen as hatred of America.

Jason Thompson, the son of Republican Wisconsin U.S. Senate candidate Tommy Thompson, made the latest in a long line of gross public remarks aimed at President Obama’s which has now gone viral:

Take a look at what the HuffPost reports:

In a clip posted on YouTube from a Republican Party Of Kenosha County brunch event, Jason Thompson commented that “we have the opportunity” to send President Barack Obama “back to Chicago — or Kenya,” drawing applause from the crowd.

Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus was among the other speakers, adding that “we have an opportunity to save America” by electing Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.

Shorewood (Wis.) Patch reports that Tommy Thompson, who was not at the event, told reporters that he had not seen the video. A spokesperson for his campaign told BuzzFeed that “Jason Thompson said something he should not have, and he apologizes.”
