When actress Bette Midler isn’t engaging in racism by insinuating that black Republicans are paid tokens, she’s slut-shaming conservative women who’ve stepped forward to give their #MeToo stories.
And when she’s not conveniently forgetting that prominent, powerful minority Republican women exist, she’s proving that she has an unhealthy obsession with First Lady Melania Trump. Specifically, her looks and her sex life.
Here’s her latest attempt at “poetry” directed at the First Lady, chock full of sexism and bigotry (note how she ‘fakes’ Melania Trump’s accent):
A poem from Melania:
Each day I'm filled with the hope
That #Donald won't be such a Dope
So I get on my knees
And say vip it out plise
As I reach for my new microscope.— bettemidler (@BetteMidler) August 21, 2019
A quick analysis of Midler’s Twitter timeline shows she’s taken many swipes at Mrs. Trump since Donald Trump was elected. Most of her tweets have a familiar theme, you’ll notice:
Bravo. https://t.co/RTMFF8KMUj

Here’s a bigger version of the tweet she retweeted, so you can see what she was applauding:
When Melania heard that Larry King is getting divorced, her heart fluttered. She's also got her eye on Rupert Murdoch, Mr. Burns and Scrooge McDuck.

Some of her other unhinged tweets about Melania Trump include:
The New York Times reports that Russia targeted all 50 states’ election systems, but there is no evidence that any votes were changed. Ok, we also have no evidence that Melania was changed, but c’mon. #BeBette pic.twitter.com/qGr1oXmMRu

Dear @realDonaldTrump, The 4th of July fireworks I paid for delighted everyone but you! I guess you’re only delighted by other despots and casual cruelty to small creatures like children… BTW, Melanie looked fabulous in her Mexican folklore dress! xoBette #BeBest #BeBette pic.twitter.com/OwwI6qvmch

There once was a girl from Slovenia
Who now lives right on Pennsylvinia
To the East Room she’ll flee
From her husband’s wee wee
While he plays with his own schizophrenia— bettemidler (@BetteMidler) June 18, 2019

Red State‘s own Brad Slager had probably the best take on Midler’s latest attempt at shaming a Republican woman:
Hollywood fixture who bemoans sexual aggression, hostility at immigrants, and purported racism resorts to racism towards a naturalized immigrant in a sexually demeaning fashion.
There is a lesson to be learned, but I believe Bette has too many voices being heard to capture it.. https://t.co/X0h4okyhGt

Something else to note: Midler, like most other “feminist” Democrats, will tell you it’s dehumanizing and regressive to put another woman down, but they never seem to apply that rule to Republican women. In fact, in most instances on Midler’s Twitter feed, when she criticizes a woman it’s a Republican or a conservative. And they are usually attacks that are personal in nature. Very nasty.
It’s depraved, but it’s who and how she is – in spite of the “woke” creds she desperately wants the world to believe she possesses.
Related to Brad’s tweet, here’s a reminder of another controversial tweet Midler posted, back in October. It’s one of the few I’ve seen her delete in response to criticism:
So interesting how someone who laments on how little respect she believes women around the world gets has no issue whatsoever virulently disrespecting another woman because she’s married to a man she disagrees with politically.
Be best, Bette. Or something.
