In the latest edition of the left eating its own, woke actress Bette Middler went berserk online about criticism directed Dr. Jill Biden’s way, namely over her allegedly being a reason that President Joe Biden is staying in the race despite his old age and seeming cognitive issues rather than dropping out and living in peace while letting someone who has it a bit more together runs the country.
One of the main people to go after Dr. Jill for what she’s allegedly up to was her former husband, who said that this sort of uncaring attitude toward her husband’s health is both wrong and unlike the sort of kind person she used to be. Numerous others on the right and left made similar arguments, saying that she should be pressing him to drop out rather than stay in the race.
Bette Middler was evidently infuriated by that criticism. Sounding off in a fiery and ridiculous post on X, she said, “The pile-on against #JillBiden is disgusting but hardly surprising. As usual, blame the woman, every man’s default position since fucking Adam and Eve. Did it ever enter your thick skulls that she might be doing the OTHER thing women are socialized to do, standing by her man?”
Numerous commenters chimed in to rebuke her and argue that the message she is pushing is utterly wrong given President Biden’s issues. One commenter on her post, for example, wrote, “Only a power-hungry controlling wife would exploit her sick husband like that. It’s sad, and you should be ashamed of yourself for supporting her.”
Similarly, other commenters on the post chimed in and said things like “A good wife tells her husband when he’s embarrassing himself” and “Well she is abusing her husband so it’s definitely warranted.” Another commenter added, “Uh….no actually? No judgment here but never would I disrespect the value of the life of the man I love & it appears to me she is defiantly not acting in his best interests. Sad.”
Relatedly, another commenter argued that both candidates are too old and someone younger and more vigorous should be considered. That commenter argued, “No disrespect but Trump and Biden are way past retirement age. Trump is 78, obese, and has been wearing diapers since The Apprentice. And Biden is 81 and can’t read a teleprompter properly anymore. They both need to quit and enjoy their last few years while they pass the job on to younger generations. We should elect a younger, more energetic candidate who has forward thinking ideas that would energize the country and move us forward!”
Dr. Jill would appear to at least be aware of her husband’s infirmities, as she has helped him on the stage before. For example, after the Trump-Biden debate hosted by CNN on June 27, she walked on stage and helped him shuffle on it after the debate was over in a somewhat embarrassing and worrisome clip caught on tape. Similar incidents have occurred before. Watch footage of Jill assisting Biden below:
