OBAMA PLAYING POLITICS WITH THE DEATH OF JOAN RIVERS

The president sent Joan’s daughter a handwritten condolence note despite Rivers having called Michelle a transgender and banning Mrs. Obama from attending her funeral

In a filmed interview during the first week in July, Joan Rivers said President Obama was gay and "You know Michelle is a tranny." When asked to confirm her shocking statement, she said, "A transgender. We all know. It's okay."

Furthermore, the Sidney Morning Herald reported that just weeks before her death, Joan Rivers told the Sunday Times Magazine in an interview that Michelle Obama was not allowed to attend her funeral because she was a 'tranny.'

Rivers has long made celebrities the brunt of her jokes, but it appears as though the gay and tranny cracks and the funeral ban remark were not said in jest.

Now if Rivers had called me gay, I would have simply brushed it off as so much tripe from an 81-year-old has-been comedian. But if she had called my wife a transgender, those would have been unforgivable fighting words. She would have been forever on my damnation shit list.

Not so with Obama. He sent Melissa Rivers, Joan’s daughter, a handwritten condolence note that read in part: “Not only did she make us laugh, she made us think.”

Now I don’t for one moment think Obama was being sincere, especially in light of what Joan Rivers had said about Michelle. The president was doing nothing more than playing politics with the death of Joan Rivers. He figured that Melissa would make a big deal of his handwritten note, which of course she did.
