Conservatives Are Furious With Bette Midler For Tweeting a Naked Picture of Melania Trump
Bette Midler is known to speak quite freely when it comes to talking politics on Twitter.
She has carved out a place for herself on the president’s go-to social media platform as a fierce political heckler, and her latest tweet targeting Melania Trump might be her harshest dig yet.
The actress and singer posted a photo on Wednesday of the now first lady from an infamous British GQ shoot.
In this particular image from 2000, Melania Trump is posing over the pilot seats in the cockpit of her husband’s private jet, wearing a futuristic outfit consisting of a barely-there transparent chain-link dress and metal headpiece.

Honestly, the caption is quite funny, and Melania wasn’t forced to take the photo.
However, conservative Twitter was FURIOUS.
Take a look:
Apparently fighting for women’s rights doesn’t apply to @FLOTUS because she’s not a hateful race baiting women like you & women on the left. If you want to see the true identity of female leftist or Hollywood just hop on their timeline & read all their hateful rhetoric towards

Wow-you have truly turned into a mean, envious witch. So sorry to see such ugly out of you. Btw-The First Lady looks amazing in that picture and always.

Wow! Just Wow. I wish I had the right words to post so that you would realize just how wrong and what a terrible ugly thing to say….but sadly no matter how much you tout that you are pro women you words say differently. Glad the world can see that now. #staystrongFLOTUS

I remember seeing the movie The Rose as a young teenage girl. I loved you for your talent as well as a champion of women ever since. Until today… I am truly saddened by your disgraceful post. So disappointed. This was pure nastiness. ????

Wow! I'm just so disappointed, never would have imagined it would be you to be this ugly. Always thought of you as a very talented and gifted woman, you could belt out a song. Unfortunately, I no longer feel that way.

Midler has also angered conservatives with a poem about Melania.
“There once was a girl from Slovenia,” the poem begins, referencing First Lady Melania Trump. Midler goes on to write that Melania avoids all romance situations with her husband, who “plays with his own schizophrenia.”
There once was a girl from Slovenia
Who now lives right on Pennsylvinia
To the East Room she’ll flee
From her husband’s wee wee
While he plays with his own schizophrenia— Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) June 18, 2019
Conservatives quickly lashed out at Midler:
Sounds like your jealous ?
Don't worry I hear there is a new skin cream that can make you look 80 again 👍— JESSE JAMES (@1bigbeer) June 18, 2019
Thought you had more class than this. So sad

Time to turn in my Bette Midler fan card. Looks like she’s headed down the same road as Jim Carrey🙄 #sadness

There once was a frumpy old “singer”,
Whose festering hate was left winger,
She hates our winning POTUS,
She’s jealous of our lovely FLOTUS,
Her final years in her hate she will linger— Auntie J (@pancakeorama) June 21, 2019
@BetteMidler hasn't seen a wee wee in years. Wishful thinking. Although I don't think anyone would want to show her. https://t.co/RSdp1Dj1L2
