'Just stop...when was the last time that you were here? I am glad that he voted against this massive spending bill, and so are the majority of the WV people. How many people have you met from WV? Enough with the stereotypes.' another Twitter user wrote.
A Twitter user who identified herself as Jane Donovan wrote: 'Bette, that's not fair. West Virginia is full of good people who work hard and take care of each other. Dealing in stereotypes doesn't help.
Another angry Twitter user wrote: 'I have lived in WV my entire life. I have two college degrees and a well-paying job. My husband owns a successful small business. We are homeowners and don't use drugs. Bette is using politics as an excuse to be hateful.'
So...here’s what Bette’s response was which IMO was no better than the outburst:
Midler, later apologized for the tweet, which she attributes to ‘seeing red’ over Manchin’s decision not to support Biden’s social spending plan, with that opposition effectively killing the huge bill.
‘I apologize to the good people of WVA for my last outburst. I’m just seeing red; #JoeManchin and his whole family are a criminal enterprise. Is he really the best WV has to offer its own citizens? Surely there’s someone there who has the state’s interests at heart, not his own!’
(AHHH! Typical liberal rant who cannot see past their nose, which in her case is pretty far off.)
Other than massive (now sagging) boobs and a barroom bellow, what exactly qualifies this ignorant cow to comment on anything?
And a few responses from Manchin himself which I love!
‘It’s not the president,’ Manchin said. ‘It’s the staff. And they drove some things and they put some things out that were absolutely inexcusable. They know what it is. And that’s it.’ He said he was at his ‘wit’s end’ but he didn’t specify what exactly drove him to that point.
Manchin also had tough words for Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. ‘They figured surely to God we can move one person. Sure that we can badger and beat one person up. Surely we can get enough protestors to make that person uncomfortable enough they’ll just say ‘okay I’ll vote for anything’ just quit. I’m from West Virginia. I’m not from where they’re from and they can’t just beat the living crap out of people and think they’ll be submissive. Period.’
Get used to it Midler. There is a lot more red coming ...
WV will have energy while Bette has brown outs.
Bette Midler could not tell you what is in the legislation....she is ignorant and only supports it because it came from “her” party.
She is the illiterate.
I’ve said this many times here on FR... Bette Midler is a garden variety bi-polar; it doesn’t matter what she says. Her condition is the reason she stopped getting work, decades ago. As an aside, all normal men need to run away from lefty Jewish redheads. YIKES! Ask me how I know!
Thanks BM, you may have cost them a few thousand votes.

The first time I personally saw this was when I read an Op-Ed in the WaPo complaining about ignorant fundamentalists opposing something or other... back in the last century.
So here we are... bitter religious gun-clining deplorable racist xenophobic and now strung-out poor illiterates.
This is what the left thinks of the people they claim to care so much about.
So she managed to enter University of Hawaii to study drama l, but then left without a degree, but then she thinks she’s smarter than the people of West Virginia? On what planet is that?
She’s a third rate actress at best.
Better Midler should be ignored like most of those morons in Hollywood...
As a note of truth, fascist, liberals have an MO to deconstruct the truth. Where they flourish is putting the truth on the stand to defend itself against their own evil, lies. THEY should be showing evidence otherwise, but don’t. Once the truth is on defense (conservatives and our Christian faith) often we/they panic and defend our beliefs which they continue to deconstruct with lies.
Unless we stand firm on God’s Word and refuse to bend to their lies, they will continue to cross the line and take over this country and our lives.
Poor Manchin is doing what is right, so they lie and declare he is evil/worried about his own interests. That is untrue and he needs to call them out and say PROVE IT!!!!!
At least she didn’t express surprise at coffee shops in rural Ohio.
Ugly woman….inside and out.
But...that's been the entire Democrat platform for as long as I've been following politics.
Sounds more like CommieWood than WV.
Thanks sevinufnine. More commentary on Bette Midler’s thoughts on West Virginian’s here, including epithets in Yiddish. LOL

Bette Midler??? Isn’t that the actor? I thought he was dead?
“One Twitter user commented: ‘Do you feel good tweeting this from your mansion in LA?’”
Easy to attack Manchin ‘from a distance’. But even so, given the type of people now running Los Angeles, I’d say the bloom is off ‘the rose’.
Does she even have talent to back up her mouth?
