For decades, the entertainer Bette Midler was best known for her singing and acting abilities. Since Donald Trump took office, however, she has become far more infamous for her frequent deranged and unhinged attacks on the president on social media.

Over the weekend, Midler took her hatred for Trump to a whole new level when she called on Biden to physically assault the president during the first 2020 presidential debate.

“I have to say this to #VicePresidentBiden, who is much more conservative than I ‘Sir, on Tuesday night you will be going toe to toe with a stupid, but wily street fighter,” Midler tweeted. “My advice is ‘KICK HIM IN THE NUTS!’ And then do it again for the 200,000 people he murdered!”

The claim that Trump “murdered” 200,000 people is of course false, yet Twitter has yet to fact-check Midler for it. She was trying to blame Trump for COVID-19 deaths, of which there have been over 209,000 in the U.S., according to Worldometers. However, the virus originated in China and has killed nearly one million people al over the globe, so Trump can hardly be accused of “murdering” those who have died here.

This is far from the first time that Midler has tried to pin coronavirus deaths on Trump. Back in July, she accused Trump of being a “murderer” alongside a link to a New York Times article about his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

“One of the saddest documents you will ever read. #DonaldJTrump is a murderer,” Midler wrote. “Stupid, callous uncaring; all in all the biggest catastrophe to ever befall our poor nation. I can’t stop crying.”

During another Twitter rant this past Sunday, Midler compared Trump to the murderous Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.
