Karin Housley pressured over 2009 Facebook post about Michelle Obama

She referred to the former First Lady in the same sentence as a ‘chimp.’

Minnesota’s Republican U.S. Senate candidate Karin Housley is facing questions over a Facebook post she made in 2009 that mentions former First Lady Michelle Obama in the same sentence as a “chimp.”

The Facebook comment has been seized upon by the Huffington Post, which published a story about it on Monday morning.

The 9-year-old post saw Housley criticize Michelle Obama’s posture when she met Queen Elizabeth II, at one point saying the “chimp” from a 1951 movie starring former President Ronald Reagan “stood up straighter than Michelle.”
