Kansas Lawmaker Posts Facebook Meme Denigrating Mexicans, Obama
A Kansas lawmaker posted an image to his Facebook page Tuesday using Mexican stereotypes and mocking the president.
Rep. John Bradford, R-Lansing, shared a meme on his Facebook page depicting a mustachioed man in a sombrero and a deformed image of President Obama. The image is accompanied with this message: “MEXICAN WORDS OF THE DAY: PIZZA CHIP & BELIEVING.”

“THIS PIZZA CHIP WILL BELIEVING THE WHITE HOUSE SOON,” the message says in reference to Obama, mocking a stereotypical Mexican accent.
Bradford did not answer phone calls Thursday morning. The image was apparently removed shortly after efforts to contact the lawmaker were made. The Eagle took a screenshot of Bradford’s page before the image was deleted.
