Joan Rivers known for her lack of self-censoring recently officiated a same-sex wedding and was asked by a photographer if she believed the United States would ever see the first gay or female president. Her response was typical yet shocking.
Quoting Rivers "We already have it with Obama, so let's just calm down," she said. "You know Michelle (Obama) is a trans."
When asked to further explain Rivers said, "A transgender. We all know it."
A PR person for Rivers camp however released a statement claiming it was all comic.
Rivers is no stranger to controversy. In March 2013 she refused to apologize for a joke she made about the dress host of "Project Runway" Heidi Klum wore to the Academy Awards.
Her remarks that time: "The last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into the ovens," Rivers said while appearing on the E! channel's "Fashion Police" show.
"It's a joke, No. 1. No. 2 it is about the Holocaust," she told HLN's "Showbiz Tonight. "This is the way I remind people about the Holocaust. I do it through humor."
