Bette Midler was like a raving lunatic during Tuesday night’s Republican National Convention. It was the sight of Melania Trump, who carried herself with such grace and elegance, that really sent the aging songstress over the edge. Midler claimed the first lady was an “illegal immigrant” and mocked her accent after Melania delivered her epic address. Instantly, poor Bette got hammered for her remarks. You’ll love this.
Left-wing Hollywood actress Bette Midler was mercilessly mocked after she called First Lady Melania Trump an “illegal immigrant” and mocked her accent after Trump delivered an address during the second night of the Republican National Convention.
As Trump began her address, Bette Midler tweeted: “#beBest is back! A UGE bore! She can speak several words in a few languages. Get that illegal alien off the stage!”

You don’t mess with Melania Trump. She is beloved by millions of Americans who totally hammered Bette Midler.
Midler’s xenophobic tweets about Trump sparked a backlash from Trump supporters — many who pointed out that Melania Trump actually speaks five languages and English is not her first language.

Red State Editor Brandon Morse contrasted Trump’s message of “hope and positivity” and Midler’s comment. He tweeted: “An immigrant woman, who doesn’t have English as her first language, just got up on on a stage and was so gracious that she refused to attack classless people like you and instead focused on hope and positivity. I’ll take her accent over your ghoulishness any day.”

Conservative host Jason Rantz called out Hollywood’s silence on Midler’s tweet: “When did @BetteMidler become such a virulent racist and why is woke Hollywood cool with this? Because she’s washed up and stuck on crappy Netflix shows? How’s this an acceptable criticism of Melania? So disgusting. @FLOTUS gave a great speech.”

Conservative African author Obianuju Ekeocha recalled when she once admired Midler, tweeting that today she sees her “ruthless xenophobia.” “I’m disgusted & ashamed.”
I remember back in my secondary school days in Nigeria,I sat down with my best friend to watch the movie Beaches.
Oh how we wept with emotion and how we came to admire this American lady called @BetteMidler .Today I am seeing her ruthless xenophobia and I’m disgusted & ashamed. https://t.co/98LymBfm83

Dan Bongino weighed in: “Hollywood elitist snobs are genuinely intolerable. You’ll never encounter a more useless group of ignoramuses, thoroughly convinced of their own inflated sense of self-worth. Exhibit 3,793,592.”

Former Fox News contributor Eric Bolling, who lost a son to an opioid overdose, said: “Several parents have thanked me for inviting @FLOTUS to my Opioid events, saying they got their child help because of her involvement. Melania Trump has done more for our kids in her little finger than you have, in your whole xenophobic body. Typical Hollywood hypocrite.”

Melania Trump shamed leftists like Michelle Obama and Bette Midler during her speech.
“I don’t want to use this precious time attacking the other side because as we saw last week, that kind of talk only serves to divide the country further,” the first lady said, according to The Hill. “I’m here because we need my husband to be our president and commander in chief for four more years. He is what is best for our country.”
“Donald wants to keep your family safe,” she added. “He wants to help your family succeed. He wants nothing more than for this country to prosper and he doesn’t waste time playing politics.”
There is something that is so shameful about attacking Melania Trump. The 50-year-old Slovenian immigrant has kept a very low political profile while doing extraordinary things as our first lady.
Well, Bette Midler is just showing us all once again, the Democrats and their supporters don’t care how low they have to go, all hoping their hatred will somehow transform into an Election Day win.
