Bette Midler Unleashes Xenophobic Tweet Storm on Melania Trump: 'She Still Can't Speak English!'
2020-08-28
[PJMedia] Anti-Trump singer/actress Bette Midler was so triggered by first lady Melania Trump’s speech on Tuesday night that she went on a blatantly xenophobic Twitter rant.

"She can speak several words in a few languages. Get that illegal alien off the stage!" she tweeted. [Links to Tweets follow]

Midler’s ranting continued with the tweet, "Why are they promoting this awful person, #melania? Was it in her contract?'

But the worst came in her next tweeet, when she lamented, "Oh, God. She still can't speak English."

#16  Flow on, sweet Molasses! Sleep tight.
Though today he'd be branded as white,
His wisdom -- "Why crawl
When a body can drawl?" --
Has slowed those of all races, so... 'night.

#15  And speaking of Hollywood...

A cute little Communist tramp
Gets laughs by a flickering lamp.
Though his stock may have fallen
Since he poked fun at Stalin...
He's the funniest kapo in camp!

Or burgeoning urban Minervas!

#13  That kurva slob. From what I can tell, Midler didn't say she was trying to be funny, which could have been written off as poor, bad-taste humor. But no, this was mean-spirited. More hypocritical filth from the Left.

#12  The Jerusalem Post reports today:

Bette Midler apologized for a series of tweets in which she insulted Melania Trump’s Slovenian-accented English.

The Jewish singer-actress wrote the mocking tweets during the first lady’s speech at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night. The tweets have been deleted.

Midler also tweeted during other Tuesday night speeches.

On Wednesday, she acknowledged that she was wrong to mock the first lady.

"Well, all hell has broken loose because I said Melania ’still can’t speak English’ last night. I was wrong to make fun of her accent. America is made up people who speak with all kinds of accents, and they are all welcomed always," she tweeted.

Some of Midler’s critics noted that Melania Trump speaks five languages — Slovenian, English, French, Italian and German — and told the actress that she was being unnecessarily mean.
