Southern CA Republican allegedly sent offensive Obama email

By SHAYA TAYEFE MOHAJER, Associated Press Shaya Tayefe Mohajer, Associated Press – Sat Apr 16, 11:26 pm ET
LOS ANGELES – A Southern California Republican Party official was under fire Saturday after allegations she sent an email that included an altered photo depicting President Barack Obama as an ape.

An e-mail reportedly sent by party central committee member Marilyn Davenport shows an image, posed like a family portrait, of chimpanzee parents and child, with Obama's face artificially superimposed on the child. Text beneath the photo reads, "Now you know why no birth certificate."

Davenport, when reached by The Associated Press, said she would provide a written statement with her response, but several hours later she had not issued one.

The alternative newspaper OC Weekly first reported the story, and was told by Davenport that the e-mail was "just an Internet joke." She also asked the Weekly, "You're not going to make a big deal about this are you?"

2. To even remotely come close to apologizing would be her firing and

publicly issuing an apology, not an "IF anyone was offended." I'm sick of this crap, sick of repukes... The media should be heavily covering this disgraceful POS and humiliating her.
