Actress Bette Midler is facing backlash for a social media post in which she suggested that black attendees of one of President Donald Trump’s recent 2020 rallies were being paid by his campaign to be there.
“Look, there are African American men in this shot! How much did he pay them to be ‘blackground’?” Midler, 73, wrote in a post on July 24 that was accompanied by an image showing several African American men behind Trump at a recent rally.
