Bette Midler Humiliated after Promoting Fake Claims about Kari Lake from Parody Website
SLAY ^ | November 3, 2022 | Frank Bergman

Hollywood star was humiliated on Wednesday after she promoted fake claims about Arizona’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake that were taken from a parody website.

The “woke” actress shared a screenshot from the “About Me” section of the satire site mocking GOP rock star Lake.

The satirical site described Lake as embracing “far-right nationalism and the forceful suppression of any opposition.”

The page hilariously went on to say Lake “strongly” opposes “democracy.”

*******************************************************************

“Heeere’s #KariLake, running for Gov of #Arizona, spewer of Q-anon conspiracies and all around nasty nut job!” Midler tweeted to her 2.1 million followers along with a screenshot from the site that was clearly written as a joke.

“Don’t let the cute package fool you! She’s lethal!”

***********************************************************************

Reading through the comments, many people noted that the site included a disclaimer: “This Website Is Parody & Proudly Created By Toby Morton.”

“It’s lifted from a fake/parody site,” one person wrote to Midler.

Another shared, “This is Fake. Badly done Bette.”

One Twitter follower wrote, “As awful as she is, you’re sharing a fake webpage – and doing that only blunts efforts to argue against her.”

While another tweeted, “This website is a parody account , it shows this at the bottom of the page. Do bette[r].”

“Don’t share fake info./memes,” one person wrote.

“The real stuff is bad enough on its own!”

Another shared, “This is obviously a parody web site.

“You are not doing any favors by posting this as if these were Kari Lake’s own words.”

While another person brought it back to the actress blasting Republicans for reportedly spreading misinformation, noting Midler did just that.

“Typical liberal hypocrite, spends how many tweets yelling about GOP spreading lies at election time, but then you take a screen grab of a site that even acknowledges it is parody, a screen grab to circumvent potential filters,” the person wrote.

“You’re trash, & the worst actress in HP series #fact.”

At the time of this publication, the “Beaches” star had yet to respond to the numerous tweets calling out that she was promoting a fake website, and the post was still up.

The career highlight of Bette Midler for me is when George knocked her out at home plate.

I always consult Butt Midler before casting an important vote.

I don't believe Midler is capable of feeling humiliation.

People like her are incapable of being humiliated. They revel in their ignorance.

Bette supports “Democracy” when her side is winning, and rejects it when the other side is winning. Got it.

Bette plays make believe for a living, thus she shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Odd isn’t it, that the tech-government complex never complains about liberal parody sites?

What makes these people bypass truth, logic, human compassion and common sense and then pounce on any insipid tidbit and proclaim it to the masses like they’re intellectuals?

To feel humiliation, you must have a minimal level of intelligence. That rules out Bette Midler.

I will bet that Bette does not know that Rush fed his own mother dog food. Someone text her!
