NEW ORLEANS — A Barack Obama impersonator was ushered off the stage after he mocked the Republican presidential hopefuls to a room full of conservative activists Saturday.
At the Republican Leadership Conference, impersonator Reggie Brown, pictured at right, played up the mass exodus of advisers to candidate Newt Gingrich’s campaign and said Gingrich’s supporters “are dropping faster than Anthony Weiner’s pants.”
The audience more grew uncomfortable when Brown turned to other candidates looking to make Obama a one-term president. He took a shot at former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, saying Pawlenty missed the conference because “he’s having his foot surgically removed from his mouth.”
The impersonator joked about Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith, polygamy, and Rep. Michele Bachmann’s Tea Party support. Organizers then cut off Brown’s microphone and turned on music. He was shown off the stage. The Associated Press
