@BetteMidler so by all means, demean an eminently qualified female to score cheap hack political points. That helps everyone.

If there’s one thing we know about Bette Midler, it’s that we can always count on her for an intelligent take on current political events. Last night, she gifted us with this one:
Trump sucks up to Mitch McConnell by hiring The Turtle's wife, Elaine Chao, to Dept of Trans. To give her her due, she CAN drive a car.

See? Making lame jokes out of tiresome stereotypes is totes hilarious when liberals do it.
@BetteMidler Although, I'm surprised Trump didn't insert an "Asians can't drive" joke. Must be off his game.

Good thing Bette was there to pick up the slack, huh?
.@BetteMidler wow. I hope you take as much flak for this statement as possible.

She was probably too busy patting herself on the back to notice the pushback she got, but we’ve collected some of it here in case she wants to check it out later:
@BetteMidler Shame on you with the unnecessary racial attack. It is no different than a stereo-typical Jewish attack directed at you.

@BetteMidler are you suggesting that asians can't drive well? How #racist of you….
— TRUTH NINJA (@jonkabbash) November 30, 2016
Racist & sexist in the same "joke"! How very progressive! @BetteMidler
— John Taznar (@Taznari) November 30, 2016
@BetteMidler No denial of your anti-Asian stereotyping yet? Are there other ethnic groups that you will attack? @BuzzFeed
— (((Bear Gab.ai))) (@bearshrugged) December 1, 2016
@BetteMidler Are you promoting a stereotype that Asians are incapable of driving successfully? Please confirm you are not. @BuzzFeed
— (((Bear Gab.ai))) (@bearshrugged) December 1, 2016
@BetteMidler wow, going immediately to racist jokes against Asians?I keep on looking for these compassionate liberals but I never find any
— Reality Rejector! (@llcthecableguy) November 30, 2016
@BetteMidler How hateful of you. Delighted to see you having such a hissy fit. This is why you lose.

Keep up the great work, Bette.
