Obama impersonator, Reggie Brown, attended The Republic Leadership Conference and attendees were not amused. Although he got a few laughs, he managed to make the conference room extremely uncomfortable as he took it a little too far. Check out the full coverage:
The Republican Leadership Conference descended into farce yesterday as a guest comedian turned on the GOP candidates before organizers could turn his microphone off.
Obama impersonator Reggie Brown stunned the conference by ripping into the Republican presidential candidates in front of thousands of adoring supporters at the event in New Orleans.
Brown first drew raucous applause when he projected lewd photos of disgraced ex-congressman Anthony Weiner. But he then attacked the Republicans when he said Newt Gingrich’s supporters are dropping faster than Weiner’s pants.
The room became extremely uncomfortable when Brown took a shot at former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who missed the conference because ‘he’s having his foot surgically removed from his mouth’.
‘Don’t worry, it’s covered under Obamneycare. Along with spinal transplants,’ Brown said, mocking Pawlenty’s criticism of former Mitt Massachusetts governor Romney’s health care overhaul which was the model for Democrats’ national plan.
Pawlenty first called it ‘Obamneycare,’ a play on Romneycare and Obamacare. But when given the shot to use the term while sharing the stage with Mr Romney in a debate, he backtracked.
Brown then made a joke about Mr Romney’s Mormon faith and polygamy, as well as Michele Bachmann’s tea party support.
Organisers then cut off then microphone and turned music on.
Brown opened his routine with jokes about Obama’s biography as the son a mother from Kansas and a father from Kenya.
‘My mother loved a black man and, no, she was not a Kardashian,’ the actor said, referencing the reality television family.
Brown also joked about rumours of the president’s birthplace. Obama was born in Hawaii – ‘or as the tea partyers call it, Kenya,’ he said.
The mocking topped off a bad day for Mrs Bachmann who was glitter-bombed by gay activists and then came third in a straw poll.
