Progressive singer and actress Bette Midler caused a stir on social media on Sunday, May 19, by questioning what would have happened had Hillary Clinton claimed the election was “stolen” from her.
Midler made the comments on X in reference to Donald Trump’s repeated claims that he illegitimately lost the 2020 presidential election, which is believed by a sizeable percentage of the American public.
Unfortunately, it seems the Hocus Pocus star was quickly corrected by fellow users of the platform, including filmmaker Mike Cernovich.
Indeed, former Secretary Clinton made several comments disputing the legitimacy of the 2016 Presidential Election. “There was a widespread understanding that this election [in 2016] was not on the level,” she told The Ticket podcast in 2020. “We still don’t know what really happened.”
During the discussion, Clinton went as far to say that where was “a deep sense of unease” after she lost the election despite her popular vote success.
Worse still for Mrs Midler, users highlighted her own previous question of Trump’s electoral victory in 2016.
Hollywood’s perception of politics never fails to amaze…
