Michelle Obama’s Latest Comments Resurface Salacious Rumor About Barack: ‘Gay Fantasies’

In a recent interview that some say hints at much more than it lets on, former First Lady Michelle Obama’s comments about men and relationships have reignited long-standing rumors about Barack Obama’s past — including salacious claims made in a 2017 biography alleging he confessed to having “gay fantasies.”

Michelle, speaking candidly about how women seek emotional connection over appearance said, “With men, sometimes I think they’re maybe a little bit too visual.”

“I think there are a lot of women who are open to a lot of different kinds of men and a lot of different kinds of lifestyles,” Michelle continued. “Women want a partner.”

While seemingly innocuous on the surface, the remarks have reignited years of speculation and veiled references about Barack Obama’s sexuality — speculation that gained traction after Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David Garrow published Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama in 2017.

In the book, Garrow — best known for his biography of Martin Luther King Jr. — included a series of letters Obama wrote to a college girlfriend, one of which contained a particularly controversial line: “You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination.”

Though Michelle Obama’s recent comments didn’t mention her husband directly, many on social media quickly connected them to Garrow’s book, calling attention to what some say has been deliberately ignored by the mainstream media.

The excerpt from the letter became a lightning rod not only because of its content but because of how little attention it received at the time — despite Rising Star being billed as the most comprehensive biography of Obama ever published.

Conservative commentators like Tucker Carlson and Vince Coglianese of the Tucker Carlson Network didn’t hold back, diving headfirst into the resurfaced rumors on a recent broadcast.

“Well, it’s always the, you know, it’s sad,” Tucker said. It’s the closet cases that are like so weird on the subject. You know what I mean? I’ve seen it so much. It makes them so uncomfortable that they kind of like go too far in the other direction.”

“Everybody in democratic politics knows that Obama, they all think that Obama is on the down low. They all think that. Trust me, they think that.”

Carlson went on to cite the 2007 Democratic presidential forum where then-Senator Joe Biden bizarrely volunteered that both he and Barack Obama had been tested for AIDS.

“Did you see the video of Biden at the debate in 2007, Democratic debate announcing that Barack Obama had an AIDS test?” Tucker asked. “It’s the funniest video ever.”

WATCH:

“I got tested for AIDS,” Joe Biden said on the podium in 2007. “I know Barack got tested for AIDS. There’s no shame in being tested for AIDS.”

Obama responded directly to the awkward moment, saying, “I just got to make clear, I got tested with Michelle. When we were in Kenya and Africa. So I don’t want any confusion here about what’s going on.”

Barack Obama has been married to Michelle Obama since 1992, and together they have two daughters.
