Bette Midler is facing backlash after suggesting that President Donald Trump paid African American supporters to add “blackground” to his rally.

The outspoken Trump critic took to Twitter Wednesday to share a photo of a group of black men standing in the crowd behind Trump during one of his reelection rallies.

“Look, there are African American men in this shot! How much did he pay them to be ‘blackground’?” Midler, 73, tweeted to her 1.7 million followers.

Her remark was instantly slammed as “racist” and “really sick.”

“Wow, Bette! That’s some racist crap right there. I guess an old, white woman like yourself gets to decide what and how black people should believe and vote,” @staceybeast tweeted, while @Sammurica wrote: “People of different races are allowed to support whoever they want. Shocking, I know.”

User @derek_mafs added: “Wow this is a disgusting comment on so many levels? ‘blackground?’ Really? You are really sick, Bette.”

Midler hasn’t responded to the criticism or deleted the controversial tweet from her account, where she has since tweeted about former special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony.

Trump hasn’t addressed her tweet yet.

There is no love lost between Midler and Trump. In June, the president called Midler a “washed up psycho” after she apologized for tweeting an alleged Trump quote that was phony.
