Hollywood Gushes over Joe Biden's DNC Speech: 'Above and Beyond My Wildest Expectation'
David Ng
6-7 minutes
Hollywood stars were gushing over Joe Biden’s acceptance
speech on the final night of Democratic National Convention on Thursday, calling it “brilliant,” “inspiring,” and “above and beyond my wildest expectations.”
Celebrities including Bette Midler, Mia Farrow, Debra Messing, and Mandy Moore performed the heavy lifting by expressing awe at Biden’s speech while rallying party enthusiasm around the 77-year-old presidential nominee.
Biden hammered President Donald Trump repeatedly during his 24-minute delivery. He also emphasized the physical and economic toll of the coronavirus pandemic while promising to implement a national mask mandate if he wins in November.
That clearly sat well with left-wing Hollywood. Actress and Trump antagonist Bette Midler tweeted to President Trump, “You’ll never get close to that speech, you miserable toad!”
**** YOU,
#TRUMP! You’ll never get close to that speech, you miserable toad!

Actor Ben Stiller says Biden’s speech “moved” him.
#JoeBiden moved me tonight with his humanity. When he spoke to all who have experienced loss, and his understanding of that. It was real. That is his strength, and all the imperfections that come with being an actual human being are part of that.

Joe Biden is a working class guy. Trump has a solid gold toilet.
Trump has had 4 years to make life better for the American people.
He failed. Spectacularly.
