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.
“I knew Abraham Lincoln when I had just started my career in the Senate! He was a good man, unlike all those Ultra-Mega-Supremo-MAGA Republicans!” — Joe Biden, 2022
Remember how much my late wife disliked me calling her Butt Littlewit. I asked her why and she said I was being ‘disrespectful to women’. Even conservative women don’t like men ever being ‘disrespectful’. Now women ridiculing and demeaning men, that is different. That is just ‘truthtelling’. What is it with women? They can call men dogsh@it but you can never say they are fat and dumb.
It has always been thus..................
Satire??? Fkn libs are screaming day and night about how the right want to stifle free speech and a a threat to democacy... How is this parody any different??
🤣😂🤣😂
🤣😂🤣😂
You can call me fat and dumb, but that would be a lie. But, if the shoe fits......
Had to take bedding to the laundry this morning. They had The View on the television. Couldn’t wait to get out of the place.
So, you made a CLEAN GETAWAY?...................
Bette, you are the wind between my cheeks.
😜👍👌🤢🤦♀️.......................
Indeed I did.
2.1 million followers? Seems like a lot. Perhaps Elon can cut out all the bot followers and get the real number. Maybe around 3-5 thousand?
Shouldn’t Bette Midler be canceled for spreading misinformation? I mean the Biden Regime’s Dept of Truth will be arresting her at any moment, right?!?
Midnight, guns-drawn, local media tipped for maximum effect, FBI raid...RIGHT? Right?
honey = “hiney”
I’m certain I remember, prior to the 1st Persian Gulf War, some of the media reporting Iraqi propaganda broadcasts to US troops claiming their wives were sleeping with Homer Simpson, among others. Of course, the Homer Simpson claim was actually a joke by Johnny Carson during his monologue.
