Hollywood star Bette Midler has called for Fox News host Tucker Carlson and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich to be “arrested,” “clapped in irons,” and “tried for sedition and fomenting insurrection.”
“Woke” actress Midler also is demanding that Rupert Murdoch, the Australian-born owner of Fox News, have his American citizenship revoked.
“Tucker Carlson should be arrested and tried for sedition and fomenting insurrection,” Midler blasted on Twitter.
“#Murdoch should have his citizenship revoked, the damage he continues to do to our democracy will soon become irreparable.
“#NewtGingrich should be clapped in irons for getting him past the #FCC.”
She also attacked Murdoch on Saturday, saying:
“Sadly, this list leaves off the most vicious, the ugliest, the most hate-filled owner of all, Rupert Murdoch, Tucker Carlson’s master, who has ruined political discourse all around the world.
“‘Own the press & 1/2 the work of. dictatorship is done.’”

The actress made the demands following the mass shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo that left ten people dead.
Midler appears to be suggesting that the conservative figures are responsible for the shooting.
However, Midler didn’t provide any evidence to support these allegations.
