Bette Midler Speaks Out Amid Backlash For Tweeting Melania Trump 'Still Can't Speak English'
Bette Midler has spoken out over the backlash she faced after tweeting that US first lady Melania Trump “still can’t speak English”.Earlier this week, the Oscar-nominated star offered her commentary on the Republican National Convention on Twitter, but came under fire when she tweeted during Melania’s speech: “#BeBest is back! A UGE bore! She can speak several words in a few languages. Get that illegal alien off the stage!”Referring to Melania – who was born and raised in Slovenia – Bette continued: “Oh, God. She still can’t speak English.”#beBest is back! A UGE bore! She can speak several words in a few languages.
