Bette Midler Slams Betsy DeVos and President Trump at the Same Time

Scroll To Top

Legendary icon Bette Midler is no fan of Donald Trump or Betsy DeVos, and she made it very clear on Twitter this past weekend.

Last week Education Secretary Betsy DeVos gave a speech in which she announced the Trump administration would roll back Obama era campus sexual assault policies over concerns of a lack of due process for accused assault perpetrators.

Bette Midler weighed in on Twitter with her theory of what was behind the decision:

\u201cBetsy DeVos wants to roll back protections for sexual assault victims on campus, just in case her boss ever wants to visit a campus.\u201d

And Twitter was very much here for it.

\u201c@BetteMidler Ouch, you're so on point with your comment about this president it hurts! \ud83d\ude01\u201d

\u201c@BetteMidler WOW! Preach On BETTE!!!!\ud83d\udc96\u201d

Others had their own theories...

\u201c@1MorWMN @BetteMidler I think when it comes to DeVos it has a lot to do with Money.\u201d

\u201c@BetteMidler @StevenSinger3 She's doing it because she feels women must b "good Christians" ¬ put themselves in a position 2b raped = no alcohol, parties. Seriously\u201d

And this user got his own dig in:

\u201c@BetteMidler Is Fox News considered a campus?\u201d
— bettemidler (@bettemidler) 1505006414

Congratulations, Bette. You've won the internet:

\u201c@BetteMidler That's some A-1 trolling there, Divine Miss M!!!\u201d
