Bette Midler is walking back an insult.
The 76-year-old performer is known for speaking her mind on Twitter – especially when it comes to politics.
On Monday, she took to social media to slam Joe Manchin, West Virginia's Democratic senator who has announced that he's against the Build Back Better Act, which would expand the country's social safety net.
"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," Midler tweeted. "He sold us out. He wants us all to be just like his state, West Virginia. Poor, illiterate and strung out."

Just another one of satan’s minions doing his bidding. Wake up America!
Why would a celebrity give a f’ about bill bark butter anyway?
“”He sold us out””
Says the member of the party that commits massive voter fraud to elect a potato head?
Then calls it “reinforcing the election?”
I bet it burned her butt to walk back her comments in the face of all those “poor, illiterate and strung out” mere peasants.
.
She wouldn’t last a day in W.Va.
Had she used a couple more layers of lipstick it would have allowed the poor ignorant people of WV to see her as she really is.
Bette Midler is just channeling Hillary Clinton.
Is she possibly still on her period?
What a twunt.
Unguarded honesty.
“And the award for the ugliest woman in body and mind to appear in a major motion picture goes to......Yes! Bette Midler”.
If she thinks she’s seeing red now, just wait until the mid-terms, Betty.
I always tell Mr K (not the one on this forum) to be very polite towards elderly women, no matter how obnoxious they are; also, if they seem to want to fight, I have instructed him, he should leave the area in a polite and deferential manner.
A good start.
I suspect that you could search out the remotest hollows in all of West Virginia and not find one person who would have to bow to Bette Midler’s intellect.
Too late.
She spoke what she was thinking the first time.
Backpedaling is just damage control and just lies.
She needs to find a hobby, now that she’s irrelevant.
Bette’s nurses need to take her phone away.
Oh No! Bette Midler Slammed By Fans After Racist Tweets
The gift that keeps on giving.
She’s just a disgusting bigot.
Why on earth was she ripping into Manchin’s family also? These people don’t need to be acknowledged - IGNORE their idiotic statements and perhaps they’ll go away. We can hope!!
