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.

According to Bette Midler, undocumented aliens are o.k. as long as they’re not white.
In actual history, the Pilgrims landed at an uninhabited place. And, over the next several decades, bought and otherwise negotiated land from the tribes of the region. Eventually there were wars (aren’t there always), but these were complicated things often involving alliances of whites and Indians against other alliances of whites and Indians.
The idea that Indians lived idyllic, peaceful lives, in harmony with nature, not experiencing disease, famine or other hardship before the white man came, is not simply historically incorrect, it is hateful, racist and offensive.
As for what was eaten, the records we have is that the Pilgrims brought seal, lobster and fowl, possibly including turkey, but maybe not; and, that the Wampanoag brought deer.
As this was a harvest festival, local produce would be most appropriate; and, we Americans would naturally favor turkey, corn (then called American corn, as opposed to English corn meaning wheat), and pumpkin as these are native to this continent. If not at the first Thanksgiving, then as the tradition caught on, with patriotic and religious undertones.
A real national treasure /s she was probably inspired by that racist POS Joy Reid.
Perhaps if they had spent their 20,000 years on the continent developing technology past fire and constantly warring each other with sticks and rocks and instead created some kind of federation of tribes, they may have been able to repel the invaders
She’s old. She’ll be dead soon.
Good.
Has been midler trolls for attention.
So she parrots the party line to kiss up to powerful people, and that’s news?
Dumb bitch!
They were, in fact, documented...
I wish these people would just leave. I’m sure she has enough money to live wherever she wants. If this is such a horrible place, move to a place that suits you better and most importanly...SHUT UP!
I’m surprised she used the term “aliens”. Doesn’t she know that word is unacceptable to her fellow liberals because of its racist connotations?
She’s dumber than I thought.
“And the American Indianians were illegal immigrants from Mongolia”
Most linguists and geneticists believe there were at least 4 waves of Asians that populated the Americas, with at least the second and third displacing the previous ones, with the Dene, for example, being forced into the desert Southwest. These stone-age people brought slavery, warfare, cannibalism, and mass extinction of the megafauna to the Americas.
Pot calling the kettle black.
And how did that work out for the Indians?
She is getting more tutti fruitti all the time.
I agree, The Pilgrims arrived in America before the were made restricting immigration.
I am happy to know that every day for that POS is a day closer to her demise.
Yeah but I just want to know that she is dying a slow, lingering, painful death....One that is torturous and agonizing, and that her pain and anguish become total and all-encompassing, and that the every fiber of her being screams out, yearning for death, but instead she remains frustrated, on the border of life and death itself, trapped in a state of non-being, scorned by all and hated by most.
Other than that, I wish her well.
P.S.: I also hate people who write run-on sentences.
Not good enough. I want her to know pain as she has never known it before.
Thank you before I had to point that out. Migration and conquests have been the way of the World since cave days. Even Hawaiians came from other Pacific islands to colonized those islands. There are very few indigenous people that actually originated out of nowhere. Some say Africa is the only locale where human beings, and not other humunoids originated from. Okay, if true.
