As we told you over the weekend, singer Bette Midler got out her “jump to conclusions” mat in the wake of the London attack and assigned broad-brush blame for what happened:
More sorrow and grief at the hands of madmen in London. Men and religion are worthless.
— Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) June 3, 2017
It was a sentiment echoed by London-based comedian Sofie Hagen:

And then reality struck:
#UK #London – The list of the 12 arrested, includes 7 women.

Well that got awkward quickly:
Wait, didn't Bette Midler respond to the attack by tweeting that men suck https://t.co/LpGeSbUaOC

Well that's inconvenient…

@BetteMidler most of those arrested for being associated with the London attacks are women… Sad situation all around!

Have Hagen or Midler learned not to jump to conclusions? Hagen responded this way:
Oh, sorry, four women terrorists exist. So now it's only 98.7% men. Not at all an overwhelming statistic.

Sigh.
Imagine being THIS uninformed and trying to claim superiority https://t.co/2tEWL68psm
