Actor Tim Matheson took a not-so-subtle swipe at former First Lady Melania Trump while praising her successor Dr. Jill Biden in a now-deleted tweet.

Following the backlash that took place after members of the National Guard were sent out of the Capitol building and into a cold parking lot, the first lady appeared for a photo op with a group of them while carrying baskets of candy.

The "National Lampoon's Animal House" star reacted to the gesture by complimenting Biden, which included an indirect jab at her predecessor.

"So wonderful to have a First Lady with class and heart. And, can speak English!" Matheson exclaimed.

BETTE MIDLER ACCUSED OF XENOPHOBIC TWEETS MOCKING MELANIA TRUMP: 'SHE STILL CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH'

 
Actor Tim Matheson took a not-so-subtle swipe at former First Lady Melania Trump while praising her successor Dr. Jill Biden in a now-deleted tweet.
Critics slammed Matheson on social media, many of them accusing the "Black Sheep" actor of xenophobia.

The tweet has since been deleted. Matheson later issued an apology, writing: "This morning I made a hasty and stupid joke about the former First Lady. It wasn't funny, and it was in poor taste. It was regretful and humorless and I apologize."


Fox News also reached out to representatives for Matheson for comment.

Matheson isn't the first actor to mock Melania Trump's accent. Bette Midler was similarly blasted for a tweet ripping President Trump's wife during her speech at last year's Republican National Convention.


"Oh, God. She still can’t speak English," Midler tweeted.

How many former first ladies were fluent in five languages??
Matheson is jealous because he's too stupid to do the same as Melania.

Leftist hypocrisy on full display. They always preach "diversity" as long as "diversity" means Democrat parasites from 3rd world dungholes. They hate "diversity" if it means educated people from other countries who don't need handouts.

  Who or what is a Tim Matheson ?

It is simply amazing to me that people are so blind to the intolerance of those who so loudly proclaim 'tolerance'! These people are the epitome of hatred, but they tell the world that we are the 'haters'!

I have a feeling she is more of a nurse's aide than a doctor. Changing Pedo Joe's depends and wiping him are her duties.

I'm always highly suspicious of any person who puts the title "doctor" in front of their name but can't write me a prescription.

  OK..so I had to Google, to find out who Tim Matheson is!  I don't pay any heed to actors, since they spend their lives"pretending"...and all too soon become addicted to the practice..
