In a fiery Friday tweet, performer Bette Midler blamed President Trump for the death of Herman Cain.
Midler tweeted:
Donnie, you silly man! You said your friend Herman Cain died of the “China Virus.” Listen, I’m no Chinacologist, but they’re not the ones who held a flop rally in Tulsa where attendees skipped masks. Everyone knows it’s your fault. Maybe soon we’ll call it the Resigner Virus!

One Twitter user replied:
Unconscionable comment, Bette. I can’t listen to your music anymore bc I can’t separate from the mean-spiritedness. Makes me sad. Be well. Be kind.
