Three "lynched" empty chairs with signs that read "Nobama" were found hanging at a home near a public park in Centreville, Virginia.
Douglas Berner, the owner of the home, told Patch.com the chairs were just a reference to the internet meme popularized by Clint Eastwood's bizarre speech at the 2012 Republican National Convention.
"It's just Eastwooding," Berner said.
Berner also denied the chairs were being "lynched" or had racial overtones.
"Not at all. They're up because otherwise people would steal them," Berner said.
This is the second empty chair "lynching" to take place this week. Texas homeowner Bud Johnson displayed the first "lynched" chair in his front yard, saying "I don't really give a damn whether it disturbs you or not."
"You can take [your concerns] and go straight to hell and take Obama with you," Johnson told Burnt Orange Report. "I don't give a shit. If you don't like it, don't come down my street."
