Bette Midler tries to dunk on SCOTUS, does an Islamophobia instead

    [ad_1]

    Not content with using inflammatory, “exclusionary” (well, at least according to many of the people she claims to be such an ally to) language to try to make a point about her feelings on the recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, Bette Midler decided to throw in a dash of Islamophobia.

    See for yourself:

    Maybe it’s just us, but it doesn’t seem like the best idea to suggest that because you think a decision is bad it must be … Islam’s fault?

    Apparently it’s not just us:

    We’d bet money that Midler will be shocked to find out this nasty little Photoshop is not having the effect she intended.

    It’s a good question. What’s the problem with that? For some reason we doubt we’ll get an answer.

    You would think after the dragging she got over her completely bungled https://twitchy.com/dougp-3137/2022/07/04/who-wants-to-tell-her-bette-midlers-had-enough-of-people-who-wont-say-women-and-use-terms-like-birthing-people/”>attempt at decrying the perfectly constitutional decision to return the regulation of abortion to the states, she would think a little harder about how her tweets come across.

    You would be wrong:

    Maybe she’s going for a trifecta? What’s up next, telling women to just breastfeed if they can’t find baby formula?

    Oh wait, she already did that one.

    We see this over and over … insulated, out-of-touch celebrities who seem to feel that it’s okay to be casually -ist in the name of whatever cause they’re championing.

    Nope. Not even a little.

    Maybe someone needs to take this woman’s phone.
