Comedian Joan Rivers was wrong about the Obamas
Politifact ^ | 01/19/2023 | Gabrielle Settles

Posted on 02/15/2023 3:15:41 PM PST by simpson96

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.

“Nobody’s ‘junk’ flies around like that, even if your dancing like a lunatic. Seriously.”

It does if you WANT your junk to swing in the breeze, it can be made to sit up and dance if you like.★
Look at the possibility that Mooch IS a tranny and giving the occasional “tell” for the “sisters” was cool because the media had her back.


The lady that I used to live next to had a nephew that had the transgender illness. Unfortunately I learned too much over the seven years she was my neighbor.

There is actually a bundle of evidence. It perhaps does not constitute proof but the evidence is rife.

a baby picture then teenager/college? what happen to the childhood photos?

explain the ellen video and the picture posted (turquoise dress) on this thread, also I’ve seen (unfortunately) other images too, o ne in sweat pants coming out of a building down steps, another where she is wearing a skirt or dress and scratching her crotch like guys do, in public during time she was first “lady”. extremely unlady like.

why was the media constantly fawning over her and dressing her in hideous oversized floral designed and wacky color combo outfits, boob belts etc etc to try to make her appear more like a female?

If she has been one her whole life you would think she’d have a clue and not need SOOO much help.

doesn’t all add up.

Only refreshes it to those that might have forgotten.
Backfire.

As seen here, the left leaning do not believe or care.
