Bette Midler has apologized to Melania Trump for her quite racist criticism of the First Lady’s big RNC speech.
“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,” Bette apologized.
This is what she said the other night that caused such a huge controversy:
“Oh, God. She still can’t speak English,” Better Midler tweeted during the speech.
She wrote in another: “#beBest is back! A UGE bore! She can speak several words in a few languages. Get that illegal alien off the stage!”
Midler also got nasty: “You are one lucky Slovenian! And after all that surgery, you hit a kind of horrible jackpot, chained to a colossal idiot.”
“I’m surprised Trump wants to destroy the #PostOffice. He got all his wives from it,” she said.
“Xenophobe who speaks one language mocks immigrant who can speak five,” radio host Dana Loesch reacted.
“The party of diversity mocks an American for her accent…” actor James Woods tweeted.
Oh, God. She still can’t speak English.
