Bette Midler reposts conspiracy theory about shooting and accuses Trump of inciting violence against Taylor Swift



Celebrity Bette Midler reposted a conspiracy theory about the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump and claimed his message against Taylor Swift was illegal.

The rabid messages were posted to Midler's official social media account on the X platform.

'What the f*** really DID happen in Butler PA.'

"#Trump rage-tweeting his hate for #TaylorSwift is not just dangerous, it’s illegal. He is putting out a hit on her, and we all know it," she wrote on Sunday just about the time of the second assassination attempt on Trump's life.

Midler was referring to a simple message Trump posted saying in call caps that he hated the singer after she endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris (D).

"He wants his minions to do his dirty work, and you know they will. If she is hurt, he will deny that he knows anything about it, as he always does, 'I don’t know, I haven’t heard.' She should sue the diapers off him, and I hope she does. #SwiftiesUnite," she added.

She also boosted a tweet wondering aloud if Trump's healed ear was a sign that the official story from the first assassination attempt was fake somehow.

"So, since we've all established that an ear 'blown off' by a bullet from an automatic rifle doesn't grow back on it's own, what the f*** really DID happen in Butler PA, the day two people died?" the missive read.

Midler retweeted the conspiracy tweet to her 2.1 million followers, and it garnered over 3.9 million views on the X platform.

Trump's all-caps message detailing his hatred of Taylor Swift was buried after reports of a second apparent assassination attempt on the former president's life just hours later.

She has previously been caught in online controversies after posting on social media. In one example from 2019, Trump ridiculed her as a "sick scammer" for peddling a false quote attributed to him mocking Republicans.

Outrage erupts over Bette Midler posting 'racist' meme against Clarence Thomas: 'The racism on the left is so deeply rooted'



Actress Bette Midler is accused of posting a racist attack against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Twitter.

The so-called "progressive" actress assailed Thomas online because she was enraged by the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. Midler posted a meme that many people are calling racist. The meme featured the face of Thomas photoshopped as a mask, but underneath is his wife – Virginia "Ginni" Thomas – wearing a black robe.

Twitter reactions from online commentators bashed the "Beaches" actress for her insensitive and "racist" attack on the Supreme Court justice.

Republican strategist CJ Pearson: "Let’s call this what this is: racism. And the only reason she gets away with it is because she’s a white liberal."

Radio host Darvio Morrow: "Sigh. The racism combined with ignorance, arrogance and a religious belief in their own virtue leaves me speechless. I’m out of words."

Pro-life advocate Obianuju Ekeocha: "The racism on the left is so deeply rooted that it’s terrifying."

Union University dean Hunter Baker: "The left is secure and unchallenged in its deep racism regarding any independence of mind in black men and women."

Former Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell: "Bette Midler continues to attack the black man."

Writer Jim Teacher: "Libs love any excuse to be racist."

Actor Clifton Duncan: "Black Americans, take note: The White 'Progressives' currently posing as our 'allies' are, in truth, some of the most vile racists you will ever encounter. And to think — there was a time I would have been thrilled to work with Ms. Midler."

Actor Kangmin Lee: "Clarence Thomas is single-handedly exposing the deep-seeded racism in the hearts of entitled white liberal women."

Powerlifter Marc Lobliner: "If this isn’t racist…."

Editor Chad Felix Greene: "This is who they are."

Actor Matthew Marsden: "Not all actors are like this. I promise."

Columnist T. Becket Adams: "So ... is that literal black face?"

Attorney NathanDallon shared a 1991 quote from Thomas: "'I'd grown up fearing the lynch mobs of the Ku Klux Klan; as an adult, I was starting to wonder if I'd been afraid of the wrong white people all along. My worst fears had come to pass not in Georgia but in Washington, D.C., where I was being pursued not by bigots in white robes but by left-wing zealots draped in flowing sanctimony.'"

Several people shared a Malcolm X quote: "The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have. If the Negro wasn’t taken, tricked or deceived by the white liberal, then Negros would get together and solve our own problems. I only cite these things to show you that in America, the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems."

Midler posted another questionable meme claiming that Virginia Thomas is controlling her Supreme Court justice husband.

The Hollywood celebrity also shared an illustration of Jesus Christ consoling a girl who had been raped by her uncle, but saying there was nothing he could do because Clarence Thomas makes the rules.

Last week, Midler tweeted at Ginni Thomas and wrote, "F*** ya!"

The 76-year-old actress posted another meme that called Justice Thomas an "a**hole," and saying that interracial marriage once was illegal.

She also declared the Supreme Court to be "illegitimate."

Midler has been critical of Justice Thomas since 2013.

Bette Midler gets slapped with vicious backlash after offering ignorant solution to baby formula crisis



Celebrity and entertainer Bette Midler was obliterated on social media after offering an astoundingly ignorant solution to the baby formula crisis.

Families across the nation are panicked over a shortage of baby formula that has mothers driving large distances in hopes of finding dwindling supplies of formula.

Rather than offer sympathy to moms who are struggling to feed their babies, Midler responded with a "solution" in all-caps that infuriated many.

"TRY BREASTFEEEDING! It’s free and available on demand," she responded simply.

TRY BREASTFEEEDING! It\u2019s free and available on demand.https://twitter.com/sruhle/status/1524926985457246213\u00a0\u2026

Many on social media excoriated Midler's tweet but some simply offered their heartbreaking stories undermining her point.

"I love you Bette, but this is not okay. I fought to breastfeed my son, he kept losing weight, despite my best efforts, including lactation experts. It was emotional and I felt like a failure and at 3 months switched to formula, because of the stress it put on me and my son," read one response with more than 3k likes.

"Bette, respectfully, this is a very bad take. I had twins. I didn’t produce enough milk for both. Without formula, I would have had to have chosen which one got to eat. To say nothing of kids that get separated from the birth mothers very young," read another with more than 8k likes.

"For the love of God, delete this tweet. Many women cannot breastfeed their babies for a number of health-related reasons. Public shaming is the last thing they need," read another reply.

"There are women who cannot produce enough milk to feed their babies. There are same sex couples who need formula because they do not produce milk. There are adoptive parents who cannot produce milk on demand. I'm happy to educate you. You're welcome," said another critic.

Midler responded to the rancor later, but it wasn't much better than the original tweet.

"People are piling on because of former tweet. No shame if you can’t breastfeed, but if you can & are somehow convinced that your own milk isn’t as good as a 'scientifically researched product', that’s something else again. The monopoly news is news to me, tho, no lie," she tweeted.

In February, the FDA recalled formula products from a Michigan facility run by Abbott Nutrition, the producer of the vast majority of baby formula. Abbott said it would take months before supplies return to normal after reopening the facility.

Critics have pointed out that tariffs and other government regulations have prevented the free market from rushing to fill the shortage from other sources.

Bette Midler says Trump should be arrested for attempted murder of Joe Biden over claim from his former staffer



Liberal Hollywood actress Bette Midler called for former President Donald Trump to be arrested for the attempted murder of President Joe Biden — based on the claim of a former staffer.

The actress was reacting to a report that Trump had tested positive for the coronavirus before acknowledging it publicly, and he reportedly went to a debate with Biden while infected with the virus.

The claim was made in a memoir by Mark Meadows, who worked as the White House chief of staff under Trump.

Midler took to Twitter to excoriate the former president.

"WOW. That rat bastard knew he had Covid on Sept 26, but went on w/his schedule unmasked, exposing everyone at the Barrett ceremony; let’s not even mention his saliva spewing at Biden during the debate! What a pig! He’d sell smallpox infected blankets to soldiers. He’s that guy," she tweeted.

"#DonaldTrump should be arrested for attempted murder. He tried to infect & kill #JoeBiden at the debate; by turning up too late to be tested, knowing full well he was positive; then screeched, sputtered, spit, and foamed at the mouth, hoping to infect Joe," Midler she added.

#DonaldTrump should be arrested for attempted murder. He tried to infect & kill #JoeBiden at the debate; by turning up too late to be tested, knowing full well he was positive; then screeched, sputtered, spit, and foamed at the mouth, hoping to infect Joe. He IS the devil.

"He IS the devil," she concluded.

While Midler's tweets received a lot of support with more than 44,000 likes between the pair of them, others immediately criticized her for the alarmist overreaction.

"Call the men in the white coats to come get her," read one tweet.

Midler has been a vocal critic of conservatives. In November, she faced a torrent of backlash for accusing Republicans of holding back progress for the sake of enriching the wealthy.

Bette Midler instructs Joe Biden to kick President Trump 'in the nuts' during first debate for '200,000 people he murdered'



Left-wing entertainer Bette Midler was best known for her singing and acting career for decades. However, since Donald Trump was elected as president of the United States, Midler's tweets have seemed to overshadow her previous musical achievements and cinematic performances. With only days before the first presidential debate and following the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett, Midler attempted to stay in the spotlight by unleashing several more outlandish and violent political comments. Midler told Joe Biden to physically attack Trump during the first presidential debate.

Midler, who has over 2 million followers on Twitter, urged the former vice president to assault Trump during Tuesday's 2020 presidential election debate.

"I have to say this to #VicePresidentBiden, who is much more conservative than I 'Sir, on Tuesday night you will be going toe to toe with a stupid, but wily street fighter," Midler tweeted on Saturday. "My advice is 'KICK HIM IN THE NUTS!' And then do it again for the 200,000 people he murdered!"

I have to say this to#VicePresidentBiden, who is much more conservative than I “Sir, on Tuesday night you will be… https://t.co/LaARUz3yRG

The false claim that Trump "murdered" 200,000 people is a reference to the total COVID-19 deaths in the United States. Currently, there are over 209,00 coronavirus deaths in the U.S., according to Worldometers.

This isn't the first time that the actress has asserted that Trump "murdered" people. In July, Midler called the president a "murderer" and admitted that she "can't stop crying" after reading a New York Times article.

In another tweet, Midler gave this pre-debate analysis, "Looking forward to #Tuesdaydebate, when #BonecrusherBiden will lead with a couple of jabs to that big fat head, a fusillade of punches to that flabby belly, a right to the kisser, a punch to the solar plexus, and then, The KO Finisher. Take that, you #Loser."

During a hateful tweetstorm this weekend, Midler also compared Trump to Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.

Midler also said Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is a "clueless pipsqueak," and told him: "Go f*** yourself."

This is just the latest example of Midler advocating violence and spewing vitriol towards conservatives.

In December 2018, Midler tweeted that the Trump family will "hang good and high" because of the special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

In June 2019, Midler "joked" that someone should stab Trump.

Following a September 2019 shooting in Texas, Midler called Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) "spineless." Cruz politely responded by saying, "Bette, you're an amazing singer, but spewing hate & insults only contributes to the tragic division in our Nation. I've led the fight in the Senate to stop felons & those w/ serious mental illness from getting guns."

In October 2019, Midler tweeted and then deleted a post that thanked the neighbor of Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) for assaulting him.

"I DO NOT promote violence but… Rand Paul says the Kurds are being 'ingrates' for taking their frustrations out on U.S. troops," Midler wrote on Twitter. "Which is a good reminder for us all to be more grateful for the neighbor who beat the [expletive] out of Rand Paul."

Paul was the target of another hateful tweet in August, when Midler wrote, "Where's #RandPaul's neighbor when we need him?"

In August, the Democrat-supporting Midler called Melania Trump an "illegal alien" who "still can't speak English."

According to Twitter's terms of service, "You may not threaten violence against an individual or a group of people. We also prohibit the glorification of violence."

"Healthy conversation is only possible when people feel safe from abuse and don't resort to using violent language," Twitter states. "For this reason, we have a policy against threatening violence on Twitter."

"You may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so," according to the Twitter rules. "This includes wishing or hoping that someone experiences physical harm."

"You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease," Twitter states.
