Bette Midler Suggests Biden Arrest Republicans, Allow FBI to Use Deadly Force to Regain Democrat House Majority
2024-07-07
[BREITBART] Singer-actress Bette Midler, star of Disney’s Hocus Pocus 2, suggested that President Joe Biden arrest Republican members of Congress and allow the FBI to use deadly force in order regain Democrat House majority.
Back before she got stupidly political, Bette Midler was the kind of performer who could be known as the bawdy Barbra Streisand of her generation. Now she is described by the latest stupid thing she said and a cheesy, straight-to-video Disney sequel. Sad.
“Now that Joe has total immunity, many are urging him to be GOP ruthless. Here’s a suggestion for implementing his new powers,” Midler wrote in a Friday X post, sharing a screenshot from an opinion piece published by The New Republic.

The Ruthless People actress shared a specific section of the article that fantasized about a scenario in which Biden orders the arrests of several Republican members of Congress, which included a scene depicting Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) getting shot and killed while resisting arrest.

“I regret to inform you that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has been arrested. A number of other members of the House Republican Conference have been taken into custody,” the fantasy read.

“Jim Jordan, unfortunately, attempted to resist arrest. After wrestling with an FBI agent, he met a tragic fate. In the sudden absence of those members, there is a new majority in the House,” it continued.

The hypothetical scenario concluded, stating, “I look forward to a long and cooperative relationship. I can say proudly, gridlock is at last broken. And we can all give thanks to the Supreme Court.”

Midler is not the only actress fantasying about killing Republicans and urging Biden to take measures that would result in assassinations.

This week, Netflix’s Orange is the New Black actress Lea DeLaria, literally and emphatically called on Biden to assassinate former President Donald Trump in response to the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, posting a video for her 1.1 million Instagram followers urging Biden to “blow him up.”

“Joe, you now have the right to take that bitch Trump out. Take him out, Joe,” DeLaria said. “If he was Hitler, and this was 1940, would you take him out? Well, he is Hitler. And this is 1940. Take him the fuck out! Blow him up, or they’ll blow us up. Facts.”

#6  Red Tide of History

1940, to socialist swamis,
Was truly a time of great promise,
For next year Herr Hitler,
Bête noir of Bette Middler,
Would finally out-murder her Commies,
Fulfilling their fears
For four glorious years
Until... sorry, more leftist tsunamis.

What this idiot just purposed was a Murdering Coup. Will this idiot be arrested, because she surely has planted the idea in some LSD mentally ill mind?

Besides, her suggestion is a 1000x'd more violent than any jailed Jan. 6th Voter Fraud protester.

Summary: Just another VERY HAS BEEN Liberal Actor seeking to get some "remember me" limelight attention.
