This is so ridiculous. This is like the U.S. far right slur against Michelle Obama.

Obituary: Billy Turner, 81, trainer of 1977 Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew (1974-2002), has died. He died today in cancer hospice care in Florida.
He guided the $17,500 bargain-basement colt to become the first undefeated Triple Crown winner.
Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1981, Seattle Slew was under Turner's care until his 4-year-old season. Turner campaigned the son of Bold Reasoning through his undefeated Triple Crown victory for owners Karen and Mickey Taylor and Jim and Sally Hill. Seattle Slew was named Horse of the Year and champion 3-year-old male in 1977. He was later trained by Douglas Peterson.
A resident of Marion County, Fla., since his retirement from training, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer almost two years ago which had also spread and weakened his bones. He was admitted to the hospital Dec. 17 after suffering significant shortness of breath, and testing revealed his cancer had spread to his lungs. Having chosen not to receive further treatment for his cancer, he was transferred to hospice care Dec. 28.
