The comedian called President Obama gay and the First Lady a "tranny" during an
on-the-street interview filmed earlier this week.
The 81-year-old was asked about officiating an
impromptu gay wedding at her New York City book signing Monday, followed by a question about whether she thinks the U.S. will first see a gay president or woman president.
"We already have it with Obama, so let's just calm down," the TV host responded.
Before walking away from the reporter, Rivers said "You know Michelle is a tranny." When asked to confirm her eyebrow-raising statement, she said, "A transgender. We all know. It's okay."
