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.

Liberal tool Gabrielle Settles says so.
I think it's time for the liberals to come out of the closet and fess up to what everyone else has known for years.
Why did this Polifarce article get written last month? Something getting revealed soon?
Did anyone here know of anyone anywhere who heard an excuse or explanation of why Michelle had thought obvious crotch shape in photos?
“What difference, at this point, does it make?”
“Why should the libs want to hide the truth? Is there something wrong with being gay? Is there something wrong with being a tranny?”
Because there a rumblings and rumors that the DNC is considering running Big Mike for POTUS in 2024. Perhaps they realize that there is no way America is prepared to elect a tranny as POTUS and they are simply attempting to get out in front of this.
I would look to see more of these “debunking” stories about Big Mike if there is any substance to the rumors.
Oh good grief. Only a total crackpot would seriously think Michelle Obama is a man.
So its debunked because She said its debunked? No pic of big mikes junk?
“This claim has circulated and been debunked.” Then why talk about it again? Oh, everyone knows Joan was correct about the freaks.
The funny part is that they are so stupid that they just HAD to debunk it.
If someone said Reagan was gay and Nancy was a tranny, people would just laugh. It would be self evident that it was a retarded accusation. But with Michelle Obama.... it isn’t so self evident. LOL
That is ironic because I always thought Joan Rivers was knocked off for being such a vocal Obama critic.
I guess I’m a crackpot.
It was — and is — just a joke, not something to be taken seriously.
Nobody thinks she is a man.... we think she WAS a man.
Joan Rivers shtick was to deliver acerbic barbs in a matter of fact manner. She was joking.
Besides they would rather lie than tell the truth.
Politico and “Politifact” are liars.
I hope you’re wearing asbestos boxers. That’s a near religiously held belief 🤪
Lol! Can’t say tranny anymore.
Mechanics everywhere are outraged.
