Another has been that thinks her opinion matters.





Bette Midler Attacks West Virginians as ‘Poor, Illiterate and Strung Out,’ Then Apologizes

Left-wing Hollywood star Bette Midler has insulted the people of West Virginia, describing them as “poor, illiterate and strung out” in a vicious Twitter rant aimed at Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV). She later apologized for her outburst, saying she was angry over the senator’s decision to vote against President Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan.

Bette Midler lashed out at the senator in a rageful tweet on Monday. “He wants us all to be just like his state, West Virginia. Poor, illiterate and strung out,” she wrote. (The term “strung out” typically refers to drug addiction.)

What #JoeManchin, who represents a population smaller than Brooklyn, has done to the rest of America, who wants to move forward, not backward, like his state, is horrible. He sold us out. He wants us all to be just like his state, West Virginia. Poor, illiterate and strung out.

After receiving almost instant backlash, Midler switched to damage control mode. She issued an apology to the “good people” of West Virginia , saying she was “seeing red” over Manchin’s decision. “[West Virginia] is a beautiful state with loyal hard working people who want desperately to make a good living for their families!” she tweeted.

She also accused Manchin and “his whole family” of being a “criminal enterprise.”

As Breitbart News reported, Sen. Manchin said on Sunday he will oppose the $4.91 trillion Build Back Better Act, effectively killing the “mammoth” legislation. “I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. … I can’t get there,” Manchin said on Fox News Sunday.

Who cares what some 80s actress thinks?
Does she think that she's even relevant in society today?
Some people should just ride off into the sunset....

What is sad is her and others like Whoopi and Joy on that hag show once were noted by talent but have allowed hatred to turn them into vile disgusting creatures. They are walking Dorian Greys.

Never hear of him.

Bette Midler reminds me of just how little most of the "Hollywood Elite Left" really thinks of us. I like how the Midler types belittle and malign people, then give a teary eyed apology and expect us to forgive and forget. She spoke her true feelings, she can live with the consequences.

If you live in Hollywood your clueless about the working class and how they live everyday.
