A clip of Michelle Obama’s speech to the Democratic National Convention is being shared on social media with altered audio.

In the video, which is circulating on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, the former First Lady can be seen speaking at the Chicago event on 21 August.

A caption also being shared with the clip says: “Did Michelle Obama just say what I think she said?”

But the video has been edited, and Mrs Obama made no reference to gay men in her speech.
