Bette tweeting about Melania..... “Oh, god. She still can’t speak English”

Unbelievable.

I’m no fan of either Trump in the White House, but if we are going to hold ourselves to a higher standard, this is not alright.

The hate and hypocrisy from those on the left towards Melania Trump is astounding.

My grandparents came here from Poland. My grandmother barely escaped the Nazis. She spoke in a much heavier accent than Mrs. Trump for her entire life.

For some people, the American dream is still alive. They leave their families
and homelands and give up everything to come here. And yes, often that involves learning English.

Shame on Bette Midler. She has basically spat upon immigrant families with her hypocrisy and hate.

Bette Midler is horrible, isn’t this bigotry at its highest. Melania Trump is beautiful born. And raised in a different country of course she will have an accent. But I thought we welcomed people from other countries who come here legally, not criticized them for the way they speak because of their accent. Shame on Bette Midler.

Bette Midler is an old, washed up Harpie. This is her way of getting attention, just like the others that say mean stuff and get political.

I used to like Bette. She could have tried to be as beautiful as Melania on the inside and instead doubled-down. She's proven herself to be a failure.

Now who do we all know that fits that description and has a far more public platform?

Your optics are narrowed characteristically towards your prejudice.

That's a pretty crappy thing to say, and she should be ashamed, but I couldn't possibly care less what any entertainer or athlete thinks/says. That's not to say they shouldn't voice their opinions, it's just saying that I don't lend them any more credence than the guy down the block.
