Actress Bette Midler came under fire on Wednesday after accusing Donald Trump of paying African-American supporters to attend a recent rally.

Midler, 73, has been a frequent and vociferous critic of Trump and his wife Melania.

“Look, there are African American men in this shot! How much did he pay them to be ‘blackground?’” Midler tweeted with an image of the Trump rally.

Midler, who has over 1.7 million followers, was immediately criticized for the tweet with multiple followers calling her racist.

Here is the tweet:

Back in the 50's & 60's, racist dems used to make fun of blacks this way.
Looks like they still do… https://t.co/Ujx987YUbW

Bette Midler just said On July 24, 2019, that she thinks black men cannot think for themselves but are willing to be bribed. Bette Midler is saying it is all about the Benjamins for black men. She is the definition of a racist. pic.twitter.com/b4BbZJ6QG8

So you saying black people ave so little moral fortitude that a flash of money is all it takes to get them to play a stooge. I can’t think or a more racist thing to say that disparages an entire race of people. You’ll say anything won’t you.

Wow, Bette! That’s some racist crap right there. I guess an old, white woman like yourself gets to decide what and how black people should believe and vote.

That's right, Bette. You reduce those black men to nothing but hollow but useful entities with no individual beliefs and opinions of their own! They deserve it!
