PHOTOS: Virginia Republicans Proudly Post Racist Photos Of Obama

An official affiliate of the Virginia Republican party has stirred controversy by posting offensive photos of President Obama.

The photos on the Mecklenburg County Republican Party’s Facebook page depict Obama as a caveman, witch doctor and a thug. Other images push the already debunked birther conspiracy theory that Obama was not born in the United States.
