Bette Midler tweets a racist poem at Mitch McConnell, pushes 'negative racial sexual stereotype'

Bette Midler is at it again, this time with a crude (and racist!) poem directed at Sen. Mitch McConnell:

Old McConnell has a farm
Where no white man will come to harm
He just wants a home
Where no minorities roam
So no one has a dick bigger than his.

First up, does she know McConnell married a minority?

His wife, Elaine Chao, is Asian. They’ve been married for decades.

Shame. I loved you as an actress, but you’re insane and also apparently racist. https://t.co/08r616N2Bi

She really should read up on Ms. Chao:

Mitch McConnell’s wife is Elaine Chao who was born in Taipei, Taiwan. She came to the US at age 8. She graduated from Mount Holyoke College and Harvard University. She the first Asian American woman in U.S. history to be appointed to a President's Cabinet. “No minorities roam”?

And second, we will point out that it’s quite racist to push this “negative racial sexual stereotype about penis size”:

Another problematic tweet from Bette Midler. She's gone from calling black people who vote the wrong way "blackground" to race fetishism and pushing negative racial sexual stereotype about penis size, which are considered racist. This is all you are to them. A body not a mind.

Bette really needs to seek help:
