TEMPO.CO, Kansas City – Missouri state of the United States has banned a rodeo clown who performed using President Barack Obama's mask from any future state fairs. Many Democrats and Republicans denounced his act as an insult to Obama.
In a show on Saturday, August 10, the clown asked the spectators whether they wanted to see "Obama run down by a bull."
Leading politicians from the Democrat and Republican party criticized the show on Twitter. Democrat politicians even considered to drop financial sanction on the Missouri Fair Commission.
The Commission has stated that the rodeo clown has been banned from future shows. They are also currently considering whether to take action against the contractor responsible for the offensive radio show.
"We strive to be a family friendly event and regret that Saturday's rodeo badly missed that mark," they said in a statement on Sunday, August 11.
