We’re again debunking an old claim about the Obamas — this time, linked to another false claim about the late comedian Joan Rivers.
In footage from 2014, Rivers claimed that former President Barack Obama is gay and former first lady Michelle Obama is transgender. An Instagram user sharing that video said Rivers was killed for revealing "the truth."
The user posted the video Jan. 11, which shows Rivers being interviewed on the street. In the clip, Rivers was asked about having officiated a gay wedding the day before.
The off-camera person interviewing Rivers then asked, "Do you think that the United States will see the first gay president or the first woman president?"
Rivers answered, "Well we already have it with Obama, so let’s just calm down. You know Michelle is a t—-," using a slur that’s a reference to transgender people.
When the interviewer asked for clarification, Rivers said, "A transgender. We all know. It’s OK."
A text overlay on the video reads, "It’s a shame they bumped off Joan Rivers because she revealed the TRUTH!" And the post caption says, "Telling the truth in #HollyWEIRD can be dangerous. It can even get you killed. Case in point: the magnificent #JoanRivers."
The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. Rivers, who died in September 2014, was not murdered, and the Obamas are not gay or transgender.

As for the Obamas, this is not the first time this claim has circulated and been debunked. We previously rated two claims that Michelle Obama is a man Pants on Fire! Photos and accounts from her memoir show that she is a cisgender woman.

I don’t appreciate being front man for this. Several times others have shown the screenshot of Her Moochiness.
Not me.
If someone doesn’t step out I quit.
Ya’ll know there has been a thing for sometime, called a gaff for ‘tucking’ and now undies. That is an altered video.
If it were a lie, the leftists wouldnt be working this hard to discredit it..Has anyone EVER seen ONE photo of Michelle Obama pregnant, EVER..just one photo just one
Absolutely.
Bingo.
slow news day
Lol....totally lol
Nobody’s ‘junk’ flies around like that, even if your dancing like a lunatic. Seriously. The only folks buying it are women.
. Not that there is anything wrong with that... But she are these two going to come out of the closet... LOL!
But when are these two going to come out of the closet? LOL!
Android Tapping problems.
I am more convinced that Barry/Barack is bi/gay than that Mrs. O is transexual. Given the state of liberalism these days, I certainly cannot rule out the possibility that s/he is transexual. But that doesn’t make it so.
A bit late for damage control??
Maybe you can explain why the kids dont look anything like either of them
seriously? They do.
Ask your husband to put on some tight whiteys and a pair of thin loose fitting boxers (to emulate Michelle’s silk pants and underwear) Then have him dance for you.
It don’t do that, sorry.
“Why revisit it, unless it’s for damage control?”
My thoughts, someone is trying to get out in front of things.
See your eye doctor...soon
Ma’am my eyes are fine. As an owner of ‘junk’ I’m a bit of an expert.
You have every right to your opinion, the beauty of free speech. Carry on. ✌️
“Pardon me while I whip this out.”
The more debunking that goes on about Michael the more the general public is going to suspect there is something to the “rumors.”
