Following up their “Goodbye Donnie” political parody video of late month, Bette Midler, who is clearly no fan of former President Trump and the Republican party, has again joined forces with Meidas Touch, this time focusing their sights on insurrection-enabling Republican senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley. The withering video is soundtracked by Midler singing “Cruz and Hawley” to the tune of “Love and Marriage,” the 1955 song written by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen and made popular by Frank Sinatra.
As Midler sings the lyrics below, the video shows footage of the Jan. 6 invasion of the Capitol building by Trump supporters along with photos of the former president and his allies, like Senators Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio, Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim Jordan and Kevin McCarthy, attorney Rudolph Giuliani and others.
“Cruz and Hawley, Cruz and Hawley
Are conductors on the treason trolley
Starting insurrections [is] the only way they get erections
“Add sad Rudy
Dim Jim Jordan
McCarthy
All we need’s a [prison] warden
Catering to haters
And “patriots” who vote for traitors
They don’t care if they’re repulsive and disrespected
All they want is to get their lying asses reelected
Please expel ‘em
Or we’re screwed, by golly
Here’s our chance to route ‘em
End their squeal
To “stop the steal”
And we’ll be great again without them.”
