Bette Midler is the newest left-wing determine to equate final 12 months’s January 6 Capitol riot to the September 11 terrorist assaults, which killed almost 3,000 folks — claiming each occasions left her in related states of shock.
The Hollywood star, who not too long ago needed to apologize for smearing West Virginians as “poor, illiterate, and strung out,” commemorated the January 6 riot in a collection of social media posts Wednesday. She referred to as it “one of the most traumatic days in American history” and blamed former President Donald Trump and Fox News.
“Tomorrow is 1/6, one year after one of the most traumatic days in American history & life, the storming of the Capitol, incited by #DonaldTrump, in his desperate attempt to cling to power,” Midler wrote. “The shock to me was as great as 9/11.”
Equating January 6 to the 9/11 terrorist assaults has grow to be a favourite rhetorical trick of the left and Never Trumpers, who’ve sought to painting the three-hour riot as one of many worst occasions in American historical past.
People who’ve made the comparability embody former President George W. Bush, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Washington Post reporter Carol Leonnig, and HuffPost White House correspondent S.V. Dáte.
President Joe Biden has used much more inflated rhetoric, calling the January 6 riot “the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”

9/11?
Doesn’t this idiot mean the Civil War? How many times have we heard brain dead liberals like her compare 1/6 to the Civil War?
These idiots just don’t realize the amount of verbal diarrhea they spew out without thinking.
She did not used to be an idiot did she?
Quick, quick, get her her hand fan and laudanum.
Yes, she’s always been a lefty which means she’s always been an idiot.
Hollywood idiots spewing out a liberal talking point? This is unbelievable that this could happen.
Sarcasm.
Who cares what this old fish monger says?
You know what was a bigger shock for me on January 6,2021 Bette? It was a doctor calling me to let me know that I had breast cancer.
yeah.. I was pretty shaken up when I saw guys in funny hats walking through the capital taking selfies..
I still get nightmares
*rolls eyes*
Years of drug and alcohol abuse combined with age and Hollywood liberalism and you become a certified nutcase 99 times out of 100.
Nobody cares what that dried up old fag-hag thinks.
If you listen to the democrat news sources then yeah, it was the worst thing since...the beginning of mankind.
“The Shock to Me Was as Great as 9/11” that’s because you have the mind of an eight-year-old.
That’s a lie.
On 9/11 she was wondering what the United States did wrong to deserve the attack.
She is under the mistaken impression that her opinion is relevant.
Moo moo baa baa.
another born liar spewing BS.
Let’s see...
On the one hand we have almost 3000 people murdered by terrorists with people jumping out of burning skyscrapers, on the other we have a small, white woman climbing through a window shot by a cop.
Yep, pretty much the same thing.
