Bette Midler laughs at Melania's accent ... and apologizes
Bette Midler apologizes after mocking Melania Trump's accent when commenting on the Republican National Convention on Twitter earlier this week.
" Oh my God. She is still not able to speak English, she wrote in reference to the first lady of the United States. Get this illegal immigrant out of the room! »« You are a very lucky Slovenian! And after all that surgery, you hit a horrible jackpot and you find yourself chained to a colossal idiot, ”she added in another post.
And while some fans of the actress found the comments hilarious, other people found them rather heartbreaking, such as former NRA spokeswoman and collaborator of far-right site Breitbart, Dana Loesch, who has replied: "A xenophobic who speaks only one language makes fun of an immigrant who can speak five".
"The diversity party makes fun of an American for her accent ..." retorted actor James Wood, a former Democrat who joined the Republican party with the arrival of Donald Trump and regularly kicked out of Twitter for relaying fake news there. As for Conservative host Allie Beth Stuckey, a regular guest on Fox News, she wrote: "Coming from someone who calls Trump a racist ..."
Critics that prompted Bette Midler to apologize. “Hell fell on me because I said Melania 'still couldn't speak English' last night. I shouldn't have laughed at his accent. America is made of people who speak with all kinds of accents, and they are always welcome, ”said Bette Midler.
