Actress Bette Midler responded on Friday to the demonstrator who hurled insults at Democratic governor candidate Charlie Crist at the Fort Lauderdale stop on his book signing.
Charlie Crist is a former Governor of Florida and is of Cypriot descent.
As he was leaving the Barnes & Noble on Thursday night, a small number of the counter-demonstrators organized by the Republican Party of Florida were still on hand. Many in the Republican group were active in Tea Party Fort Lauderdale.
Midler criticized the activist for calling Crist a “commie whore,” which was reported by Broward Politics on Twitter.
