Don't ridicule the "Dear Leader."...
SEDALIA, Mo. (KSDK) -
The rodeo clown who donned an Obama mask during a show at the Missouri
State Fair over the weekend has been permanently banned from performer
there ever again.
In a statement released to the media Monday afternoon, the commission
apologized again for the rodeo clown’s actions and said they were
inappropriate and not keeping with the fair’s standards.
The commission unanimously voted to ratify a decision by Missouri
State Fair Director Mark Wolfe to ban the rodeo clown who wore the
mask. The clown was not identified.
Albert S. Watkins, attorney for Mark Ficken, the rodeo announcer at
the Missouri State Fair, said the clown went off script and was the one
who made the controversial comments about the president.
A witness who provided NewsChannel 5 with video and pictures of the
clown claimed the announcer “whipped the audience into a lather” by
repeatedly asking attendees if they wanted to see “Obama run down by a
bull.”
