Bette Midler Trashes Thanksgiving: Pilgrims Were ‘Undocumented Aliens from Europe’
Breitbart ^ | 11/25/2022 | David NG

Posted on 11/25/2022 9:09:21 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

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.

Pilgrims Were ‘Undocumented Aliens from Europe’

And that worked out so well for the native Americans that she's hoping to be on the receiving end this time?

Stupid, ignorant b!tch. There was no country at the time. No immigration laws. North America was just a wide open continent sparsely populated with an estimated 8 to 100 million native peoples living on 9,540,000 square miles of land.

Human beings have been a migratory species from the first time they appears on the planet, but as human civilization evolved and countries were created, laws were enacted to protect borders and control immigration. Also, the ancestors of natives on the content came from Asia. So where does this idiocy end, and what part of this doesn't the dope understand?

Is Bette Midler really Joy Behar? Has anyone ever seen them in the same room together?

And this is why Thanksgiving is one of the more important holidays, frankly. There were some ugly wars along the way, but the long-term Native American contribution to the European divinely-mandated settlement of the Americas cannot be understated.

Now if we could just understand that our partners to the south need to use pioneer inspiration to settle their own problems right where they live, the entirety of the Americas pole-to-pole could beat China like a cheap gong for the rest of this century.

“undocumented aliens from Europe.”

Actually I think she is spot on (first time for everything). She is unwittingly making the case to stop illegal immigration.

Isn’t she in the same stupid crowd that said that the 2nd amendment only referred to muskets? Seems like there is a parallel to be drawn there but the stupidity is just too overwhelming.

It pleases me to think how angry and frustrated this hate-filled shrew is, now that she’s an old lady whose looks (such as they were) and her singing voice, are long gone.

This is all she’s got left.

Absolutely hilarious. Who would “document” them, given there was no civilization and no government or country there? Documentation presupposes a literate peole with a civilized society NOT prehistoric savages living at the level of Neanderthals. The entire process of documentation was produced by the Americans - who thank God created a great nation where once nothing stood but the shanties of bloodthirsty primitives. Let us give thanks.
