Hollywood star Bette Midler has suffered another epic meltdown and demanded that Tucker Carlson, Newt Gingrich, and Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch are "arrested" and "clapped in irons."
According to Midler, Carlson, Gingrich, and Murdoch should be "arrested and tried for sedition and fomenting insurrection."
The actress made the demands following the mass shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo that left ten people dead.
Midler suggested that the conservative figures are responsible for the shooting.
She tweeted that Carlson should be “arrested” and Gingrich “clapped in irons” for getting Murdoch “past the FCC.”
However, Midler didn't truly explain her "FCC" comment or provide any evidence to support her allegations.

“#tuckercarlson should be arrested and tried for sedition and fomenting insurrection,” the "woke" actress wrote to her two million followers.
"#[Rupert] 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 added.

A short time later, the “Beaches” star tweeted that if the “unalienable rights” described in the Declaration of Independence cannot be delivered to the citizens, then the government is “worthless.”
"We have ‘unalienable rights?’” Midler wrote.
"‘Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness?’
"How are citizens supposed to believe in these sacred principles if they are getting slaughtered every time they go to the store?”
"If a government can’t deliver on this foundational promise, it’s worthless,” she added.

The Hollywood star recently faced a backlash after she sent out an insensitive tweet telling women to “try breastfeeding” following the massive shortage of baby formula across the country.
"TRY BREASTFEEEDING!” the actress tweeted to millions. "It’s free and available on demand.”

Both supporters of her and critics hit back with how ignorant the tweet made her sound.
Conservatives and liberals agreed that Midler’s comments were wrong.
Some of her followers even suggested that she must’ve been hacked.
But the "Hocus Pocus" star appeared to double down in a follow-up tweet that read, “People are piling on because of former tweet.
"No, shame if you can’t breastfeed, but if you can & are somehow convinced that your own milk isn’t as good as a ‘scientifically researched product,’ that’s something else again.
"The monopoly news is news to me, tho, no lie. #WETNURSES.”
