Bette Midler: GOP Tried to Prevent U.S. from Winning WWII

Most liberal celebrities who blast the Republican party stick to modern issues like taxation, birth control and foreign affairs.

Not Bette Midler.

Sure, the Divine Miss M hits similar topics via Twitter, but she doesn’t mind reaching back into history to smite the GOP from a different angle.

This week, Midler revisited World War II with a tweet claiming the GOP wanted America to lose in its fight against the Axis powers.

.@GOP treats Mr. Obama the way they treated FDR in WWII. They did everything they could to ensure an Allied loss.

There’s a method to Midler’s social media madness–she’s trying to prop up President Barack Obama. The failing, flailing president blames everyone else for a stalled economy and a host of “phony” scandals, and she’s only too eager to do the same.
