(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) In the second drop of his runaway social media hit, Tucker Carlson again melted the internet with what many took as an apparent gay outing of former President Barack Obama.
As part of a larger and compelling monologue about the current crop of cancel cults and leftist narrative peddlers dictating social norms and taboos to seize “the power not simply to control people’s behavior, but to control how they think,” Carlson used as one example the changing standard of acceptable behavior for presidents.
“As recently as the 1992 presidential campaign adultery was considered disqualifying for anyone seeking higher office,” he said, noting that former President Bill Clinton’s aspirations were nearly derailed when he was forced to spin furiously over an affair with Gennifer Flowers.
“But he was the last presidential candidate who had to meet this standard,” Carlson said.
“By 2008, it was obvious to anybody who was paying attention that Barack Obama had a strange and highly creepy personal life. Yet nobody ever asked him about it.”

Carlson’s descriptor of “a strange and highly creepy personal life,” combined with long-running questions, allegations and theories about Obama’s alleged sexual orientation and partner preferences, lit up social media.
Umm…did Tucker just infer that Obama is gay?

Kirk wasn’t alone in wondering, as Carlson made a covert case that the question, and answer, have been ignored by design.
“By that point, a leader’s behavior within his own marriage, the core relationship of his life, had been declared irrelevant,” Carlson said of the the sexual peculiarities of the president and, some contend alleged, First Lady Michelle.
“It was Barack Obama’s business, not yours,” Carlson said.
I looked up to Obama, it hurt me as I watched how he ignored us and continued to push social justice when we were begging for real peace and equality.

“Tucker insinuates that Obama is gay and Michelle is a man,” posited talkshow host Stew Peters.
Pretty sure Tucker just wished Obama a Happy Pride Month

The questions surrounding Obama’s alleged gay lifestyle, drug use and random homosexual romps resurfaced nationally last month with Larry Sinclair’s trip down memory lane. In 2008, Sinclair went public with claims that he had multiple drug-fueled, homosexual hook-ups with Obama.
“I performed fellatio on Senator Obama in the limousine during the time Senator Obama was smoking crack cocaine,” Sinclair said at the time. His claims were quickly swept away by mainstream media, but the questions of Obama’s sexual proclivities remain.
I inferred that Obama is gay.
Only Tucker knows if he implied it.
I've thought that Obama was gay since I saw him in a photo with Don Lemon: weird 'chemistry' there.— Credulous Boomer Rube (@BoomerRube) June 9, 2023
