Disney’s Hocus Pocus 2 star Bette Midler spent her Thanksgiving trashing the national holiday, posting a meme that denigrated the pilgrims as “undocumented aliens from Europe.”
In a tweet on Thursday, Bette Midler posted a meme showing a pilgrim and an Indian sharing a turkey in what appears to be a depiction of the first Thanksgiving in 1621. The meme’s snarky caption reads: “Celebrating the day Americans fed undocumented aliens from Europe.”
Midler’s meme inaccurately depicts what actually transpired between the Plymouth colony pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians at the first Thanksgiving feast. Historical accounts show that both the pilgrims and Indians contributed food to the meal, with the pilgrims hunting fowl and the Indians bringing deer. They also feasted on the vegetables that the pilgrims grew with the help of the Indians.
While wild turkey might have been featured at the first Thanksgiving, they would more likely have dined on geese, duck, and other game. Some historians believe that seafood was also served, given the colonist’s proximity to the ocean.

Who gave them free housing and medical?
I thought undocumented aliens were supposed to be good?
She’s in a movie that’s a vile slur but she’s going to insult other people?
I’m so happy that the Far Left is unhappy. It means they know they are failing.
So which “documents” were they supposed to fill out? There wasn’t a sovereign government with immigration laws at that time.
Too stupid even to respond to.
Yeah, but none of it likely stopped the stupid **** from stuffing her fat blowhole with turkey & mashed potatoes yesterday.
Indians were also undocumented. Primarily because they didn’t have a written language.
Midler is a washed-up actress. Washed-up, like whale on beach.
I’d feel sorry for anyone who had to wake up next to that squirrel faced toad.
Yep, things are the same now as in the 1600’s, you dumb twit.
And the American Indianians were illegal immigrants from Mongolia
Contrary to what bette says, the Pilgrims fully complied with all regulations that were in place at the time of their arrival.
If she had the courage of her convictions she’d donate all of her “ill gotten” wealth to the Indian tribes and leave with only the clothes on her back and return to whatever land “her people” come from. It’d be the right thing to do...I won’t hold my breath.
She’s trying to stay relevant and get paid to boot.
An MD recently disclosed how he was offered $750 for every hit piece he would write against Ivermectin.
TRASH, talking trash... feh
The irony is she is from Hawaii where her heritage is from undocumented and unwelcomed immigrants there.
Oh, NOW undocumented aliens are a bad thing.
Context is everything, it would appear.
And for the record, harvest festivals reminiscent of Thanksgiving were a ritual going back to Biblical times, they just were not called “Thanksgiving”.
You need not be Christian or even of European descent to celebrate Thanksgiving. But belief in a higher power is implicit with the festival, as to whom do you believe should be receiving the thanks?
One doesn’t even have to acknowledge the Pilgrims to have a family get together and remember ones blessings and be thankful. Consider it a harvest festival like it is in Canada and alls well but of course when it comes to leftism that’s like talking to a wall. Gratitude is a key to happiness IMHO.
