What next? Lynchings? Bashing Trump/supporters is the only way pathetic has-beens like #BigotBette get ink. Imagine, her soul is even uglier than that face. ????
Kirstie Alley accuses Bette Midler of ‘pure and REAL racism’ for joking about black Trump supporters
By Erin Donnelly, Yahoo, July 25, 2019
In addition to her work on the stage and screen, Bette Midler has emerged as one of the most vocal Trump adversaries on Twitter, prompting the president to recently blast her as a “washed-up psycho.”
But one of Midler’s latest tweets mocking Donald Trump has sparked backlash and accusations of racism. On Wednesday, the Beaches star posted a photo taken from a Trump 2020 rally and pointed out a group of black men in the crowd of supporters.
Midler, apparently surprised to see people of color backing POTUS, wondered aloud if his campaign paid them to be “blackground.”

The pun fell flat with conservatives, who slammed Midler’s joke as “condescending and racist.”

Bette Midler, how dare you make a blanket statement that black people can’t think for themselves & that they must be paid off if they don’t agree with you. Your statement is so condescending & racist. “From the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.”

Imagine, for one moment, that a conservative said this about blacks at a liberal event. It would be rightly called out as the nasty, divisive racism it is. Black liberals: this is what they *really* think about your ability to think for yourselves.

That's quite the racist statement if I've ever heard one. 🙄

Trump supporters of color also took offense to her suggestion that black people would have to be bribed to take up the MAGA cause.

Midler’s joke also raised the ire of actress Kirstie Alley, who has backed Trump in the past. The Cheers and Look Who’s Talking star called the tweet “racist” and “degrading” and accused Midler of demonstrating “pure and real racism.”
This is one of the most racist, degrading "jokes" I've seen on Twitter & that's saying a lot. We get it Bette, you hate Trump & that's your right but to imply Black men have to be PAID to celebrate their OWN political views is pure and REAL racism. And "BLACKGROUND"?? WTF??!! https://t.co/7PXH75tf8i

Some commenters have accused Trump supporters of showing faux-outrage. And despite predictions that Midler would swiftly delete the tweet to quash any controversy, it remains online. The star also fired back at one “uptight” critic over the matter.
As many as I feel like! Personally, I enjoy swearing. Why don’t you try it, you uptight…..ha! https://t.co/ipqdOT46xe

This isn’t the first time Midler has been called out for a tweet about race. Last October, she apologized after sharing a John Lennon and Yoko Ono quote which included a racist slur.

bette who?
Bwahahahahahaha, like Bette Midler, John Lennon and Yoko Ono know what’s it like to be black — anywhere in the world. It’s hilarious how their supercilious, liberal sanctimony comes back to bite them in the a$$.
“Bette Midler, John Lennon and Yoko Ono know what’s it like to be black”.
Amen, Moe!
Perfectly said Muham. As usual.
I am shocked to the core and I’m not kidding. Honestly, I had no idea liberals had this degree of REAL racism. I mean you really DO think ill of black people, to think they’d be a bunch of shucking-and-jiving morons, incapable of even choosing a presidential candidate…
Midler has exposed something really, really ugly. And what’s funny is, she’s the truly stupid one. To think a whole group of her fellow human beings, black people, ARE mentally inferior? Sick.
Perfectly said. As a Dutch military, I have served with black Americans and I still have extremely good memories about them. They knew their job, knew what loyalty is and were good comrades. irrespective of their grades.
Interesting observation that I didn’t notice but it’s implicit in Midler’s comment.
Why doesn’t Bette Midler quit while she’s behind?
Hey, Bette! Actually those were white men in black face. Get a life bitc-.
They are afraid of blacks leaving the Demonrat plantation !
Trump fights for what is Right. Dems do it for what is immoral/wrong/evil
while Left/liberal pro-jihadi run EU is turning into islamic hellhole with more jihadi attacks Trump is shutting down jihadi funding that has been running for decades now
http://offtrade.net/cnmnews/trump-stops-funding-palestinian-terrorists/
Left/Liberal Loons say that makes him “racist” , “islamophobe” . Guess what ? Trump gives a damn .
LOL !
Ayanna Pressley, (D) Mass., of the Squad, doesn’t like blacks off the plantation, either.
Pressley did NOTHIG worth noting while on the Boston City Council. And since elected to Congress, she, along with the ENTIRE delegation from MA have done NOTHING to better the lives of their constituents, they only bash the President with reckless abandon. As a lifelong resident of MA, and the Boston area, I cannot wait to once again vote for Mr. Trump in 2020.
Bette Midler, isn’t that the woman who has to pay men to get them in her bed?
because normal men don`t care to bed tranny`s, we prefer REAL women.
Right. I have mine already for 51 years
Well, Bette, you should still be running the towel concession in the local Bath House. Midler is the quintessential Democrat, Leftist racist; not merely in Hollywood but the entire nation. Hopefully, the blacks who support Trump will remonstrate her repellent, slanderous bigotry directed at them.
Bette’s view is conservative blacks are not politically savvy, intelligent and ingrates for not backing the Democratic-KKK Party. The Party that is historically pro-slavery and continues to marginalize the black communities but with one exception when the Democratic-KKK needs or wants the black vote.
So far….crickets from black leaders. They don’t care about leftist racism, a la Ralph Northam?
That is because they are on the Dimm Plantation and wholly owned by the Left….they’ve been there most of their lives and receive compensation for their loyalty.
Educated Blacks and Blacks who have found work under the Trump economy aren’t owned by the Left….I think President Trump got more Black votes than any other Republican President. I believe that will double in the next election.
When the Blacks look at what they have now and the new possibilities under President Trump…then look at how they’ve been treated by the Dimms for decades and what the Dimms are pushing now (socialism)..they aren’t going back to that….
And the last time I checked, I don’t think Blacks are going to listen to a White woman who is filthy rich and lives above them.
Trump is not a politician. Trump is Trump. https://www.amazon.de/Trumps-Battle-English-Cornelis-Brouwer-ebook/dp/B01N5NH4KM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1549404055&sr=8-2&keywords=Trump%27s+Battle
Thank God he is not a politician….only a non-political person can get us out the mess that “politicians” got us into. Most of them are poltroons and bandersnatches.
Just shut up and sing!
Revering to the first image of this article, the last time I saw the same look that Bette Midler was on a “Makin Bacon” t-shirt.

Drop all the fake outrage losers–that was the greatest play on words in ages. It belongs in the Urban dictionary-right up there with “santorum”.
“If
we define a misanthrope as ‘someone who does not suffer fools and likes
to see fools suffer,’ we have described a person with something to look
forward to.

What an idiot. That’s what you Demoncrap ukers do. This is all you know in your little minds and why that is always your answers.

This Japanese macaque isn’t happy w/your portrayal of his fellow macaques:
http://cdn.images.dailystar.co.uk/dynamic/1/photos/443000/Japanese-monkey-1008443.jpg
Wait a second here … You’re going to pi-s off millions of moslems. It’s haram to post pictures of mohammed.
Don’t worry. This is a selfie of Midler when sie was young.
Oh, that’s Midler? Coulda sworn it was mohammed.
Japanese Macaques are some tough monkeys. They survive in the frozen wastes of the Japanese alps during the winter and I have no idea what they eat (pinecones?). There’s a troop of them that were exiled from JP to Texas and they had to develop tactics to deal w/bobcats, cougars and rattlers (maybe they make use of their 2nd amendment rights), but they did and their troop now numbers 700 members.
It’s amazing what a has-been actress will do to stay relevant. I wonder if her agent, or publicist suggested she do something like this to bring her name back. You’d think that, when these famous people have earned their millions, they would be happy with it and just live quietly in retirement. Not the case at all. Bette is living proof of that.
How’d she ever make it out of the homosexual bath houses? Perhaps, she should return to her roots.
If she returned, they might mistake her for a farm animal.
President Trump hit the nail on the head with this one..washed up psycho is spot on!
Alyssa Milano is another loud mouth sprouting negativity against the President and supporting the likes of Ilhan Omar and the other 3 witches of Beastwick! These actors need to stick to pathetic acting and stay out of politics
Milano is a has-been actress that had one stupid inane show….how does she rate in the scheme of things?
Well, for starters, her support of the Nazi-style boycott against Georgia in the wake of their passing their “heartbeat” bill into law – I mean “Nazi-style” because such a boycott, in its intent (i.e. destroying the economy of a sovereign state that seeks to reassert a culture of life because they, meaning Hollywood, seeks to spread the culture of death like measles, black plague or Ebola), is reminiscent of the Third Reich’s 1930’s boycott of Jewish-owned businesses in Germany that led directly to Kristallnacht and, ultimately, the Holocaust.
A lot of people participated alongside this has-been actress…doesn’t make her special or particularly influential. She’s angling for a part in some Hollyweird Swamp film…I worked in that slimy business for 5 years…and escaped with my virtue and dignity intact…that in itself is a miracle. She -like all the others – are desperate to get back in front of the camera…..Gloria Swanson’s famous line: “I’m ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille.”
She’s been on her twitter site a lot spouting hatred about P Trump and
ordinary dems/lefts/muslim/crooked
Bette Midler…..soooooo 1980s. She must have some new show coming up…if they can pour her out of her bottle.
Good for Kristi speaking up.
“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a
problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before,
the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do
something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just
enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”President LBJ. Enough said about Democrats?
Finally,after decades of forced dependence on Commiecrat handouts, African-Americans finally can get the jobs they need and deserve. The Next step is to stop the flood of illegals who are driving wages down.
If you believe that Midler can find someone to “do her” for only a nickel …..
It’s hard to find someone that is blind, deaf, suffers from anosmia …. that’s a pretty rare find. Better up that contribution by a considerable amount.
Ach…I would have to say that it would have to be someone who is blind. And with her mouth, deaf as well. But even as far as paying such a person, I would say that there’s most likely not enough money in this world…
Hi, ed. Blind, deaf, and suffering from anosmia (inability to smell). That’s one tough candidate to find for ol’ bet.
Hahahahaha !!! I laughed so hard I had to spit the coffee out of my mouth. Or that could have been from looking at bette’s picture….I’m not sure but it was one of ’em….
Bette Midler is a vert talented singer.
But it just goes to show you can be talented and successful in one area of your life but a complete ignorant moron in other areas.
Also disgusting that she is Jewish and doesn’t give a damn about Israel.
Trump is good for Israel and the world.
These leftwing Hollywood whores make me sick.
Shabbat Shalom,
G-d bless Israel and Pamela Geller
So you’ll call women whores but refuse to put a vowel in God because morals.
Hypocrite
…because of censors and monitors on these posting companies. I and others have to think up clever ways to spell things as to not get monitored.
Reminds me of a comment from the late Rabbi Meir Kahane who was constantly amazed about how a population that was so brilliant in art, science and culture could be so stupid when it came to their own survival.
I thought Bette looked her real self w/o make up in a film where she played a witch. sorry,i don`t remember the name of the film.
Hocus Pocus….great film…that was then, this is now….Bette needs to go home and work on her rotund figure.
she could always get a golfball,then soak it in habenaro juice&suck on it.
Isn’t there a law against racial slurs, like a “hate” law? If a black organization of means were to slap her with a $10 Million dollar lawsuit for “inciting” or “colluding” or “obstructing” the lives of these innocent Trump supporters, then added another $10 Million for “anguish and mental suffering” of those who read her tweet, it just might be a great example to stop other “Holly-woulds” from same. (I can always dream, can’t I)??
Rev. Roy…….<><
Ask the parents of the teen who attended a pro-life demonstration only to be ambushed by a black troublemaker – and the video of that confrontation heavily edited by the MSM to make the teen look like the villain. He and his parents sued The Washington Post for defamation – but a leftist judge (from what I’m apprised, appointed by Jimmy Carter) tossed out that suit, and the parents have announced their intention to appeal. The noose is tightening around those fighting for liberty and against statism.
My point is, if any suit against Ms. Midler were to be attempted, it too would be thrown out on its ear and she would be free to make more such defamations and slanders without consequence. Sad but true. This is why elections have consequences.
Shes absolutely right – THATS disgusting –
i am constantly amazed at the amount of black people whom are either unaware and/or just ignore the fact that it is the Democrat Party that created the KKK and that thousands of their party members fought and died fighting to maintain the right to own slaves. My brain literally goes into “Cognitive Dissonance” whenever I pause to ponder this insanity.
Not only that. The first criminal act of so-called Democratic Party was “Trail of Tears” in 1831, then Civil War, of course, then KKK and after that was institutionalized segregation thanks to Woodrow Wilson (D), followed by opposition of many of them to Women’s right to vote (Democrats only 104 to 70 in favor but Republicans 200 to 19) and now it is attempt of coup and institutionalized antisemitism. They will call you names if you don’t like their party. That is for sure?
Well, then track down those 187 year olds and teach them a lesson.
It would seem Elizabeth Warren’s ancestry would be traced more to those who carried out the “Trail of Tears” rather than anyone who was a victim of same, no?
But Wilson wasn’t just a racist, he was also a vicious anti-Semite who was against Louis Brandeis’ name being put out as a nominee for Supreme Court justice, but ended up gritting his teeth and doing so anyway.
And that’s not counting the Democrats now being the Party of: a) Death, b) Satan, c) the Anti-Christ, and in all but name, d) the “Goth Party.” In their hands, abortion has become yet another weapon in their strategy of “white replacement” as well as mass Third World immigration from Central America. (To be sure, it’s both black and white women who are encouraged to have abortions while “brown” women have babies by the bushel. All this is contributing to: a) a birth rate of 1.7 children per family – completely unsustainable for our continued survival, b) more whites dying off than being born, and c) the white population in the U.S. plummeting to 60% and falling.)
The ones who truly can’t think for themselves, by and large, are Democrat voters. They vote according to how the likes of Bette Midler tell them to vote.
Candace Owens has criticized “groupthink” time and again!
The left supports hatred and violence — against the “right” targets, of course.
