Liberal Hollywood star Better Midler was swiftly fact-checked on social media and she made a bizarre claim that twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has never “claimed the election was stolen.”
While she didn’t elaborate on the rationale behind her outburst, Midler appeared to be attempting to criticize President Donald Trump for questioning the results of the 2020 election.
However, Midler left users on X baffled when she asked her followers to imagine the repercussions if Clinton had claimed Trump was illegitimately elected in 2016.
“Can you imagine what would have happened if Hillary Clinton had claimed the election was stolen?” Midler asked Sunday evening in a post on X.
