Bette Midler tags Duterte as among world's contemptible leaders

American singer-songwriter and actress Bette Midler named President Rodrigo Duterte among infamous leaders such as Nazi Party leader and dictator Adolf Hitler, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and US President Donald Trump, in a Twitter post on Saturday morning.

"For Americans who think the impeachment hearings have nothing to do with them, think again. Want to leave the door open to a Hitler? A Stalin? A Castro? A Duterte? A Pol Pot? A Putin? An Assad? A Chavez? A Kim Jong Un? A Mussolini? A Mugabe? An Amin?" Midler wrote.

She made this political statement in light of the recent impeachment hearings of President Donald Trump, and why Americans should care about them.
