Liberal Hollywood actress, Bette Midler, recently posed an ill-informed question on Twitter/X, reminding us just how dumb she really us.
She asked her followers, ‘what would have happened if Hillary Clinton had claimed the election was stolen?’
Girl, WHAT?? She literally DID claim that!!
This question exposes the ignorance of many who comment on politics without proper understanding or knowledge. It’s time for a reality check, Bette Midler: Hillary Clinton did indeed claim that the 2016 election was stolen. And she did so repeatedly.
As reported by The Daily Wire, this uninformed remark from the longstanding Hollywood and Broadway star attracted immediate criticism and fact-checking. Critics were quick to point out that Clinton has indeed questioned the results of her lost election against former President Donald Trump.
The remark, seemingly out of the blue from the legendary singer and actress whose career in Hollywood and on Broadway has spanned more than five decades, immediately attracted criticism as well as a fact-check.
Critics pointed out that Clinton is on the record questioning the results of the election she lost to former President Donald Trump.
“There was a widespread understanding that this election [in 2016] was not on the level,” Clinton said in October 2020 during an interview on The Atlantic’s politics podcast, The Ticket. “We still don’t know what really happened.”
“There’s just a lot that I think will be revealed. History will discover,” Clinton continued. “But you don’t win by 3 million votes and have all this other shenanigans and stuff going on and not come away with an idea like, ‘Whoa, something’s not right here.’ That was a deep sense of unease.”
Midler’s misguided tweet was met with a flurry of responses from more informed individuals who called her out for her lack of factual information. It’s clear that Midler needs to do some serious fact-checking before she decides to weigh in on political matters again.
