Joan Rivers may have crossed the line when she joked about first lady Michelle Obama after officiating a same-sex wedding recently.
A photographer asked the 81-year-old comedian if she thought America would ever see the first gay or female president.
“We already have it with Obama, so let’s just calm down,” she said. “You know Michelle (Obama) is a trans.”, Rivers quipped.
When asked to clarify her statement, Rivers replied that Mrs. Obama was “A transgender. We all know it.”
A representative for Rivers issued a statement from Rivers explaining that she was only complimenting Michelle Obama by referring to her as a man in a dress.
“I think it’s a compliment. She’s so attractive, tall, with a beautiful body, great face, does great makeup. Take a look and go back to La Cage Au Follies (sic). The most gorgeous women are transgender. Stop it already … and if you want to talk about ‘politically correct,’ I think this is a ‘politically incorrect’ attack on me because I’m old, Jewish, a woman and a ‘hetty’ — a heteosexual … and I plan to sue the reporter who, when he turned off his camera, tried to touch me inappropriately on the a** – luckily he hit my ankle. Read the book … if you think that’s silly, wait to (sic) you see what I say about FDR and Eleanor!”
