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."

Im just seeing red like the menstrual cycle that’s long gone and in its wake a dried up river bed, a broken down car no doors and flat tires, a hasbeen who never was trying desperately to be relevant. Go hold hands with joy behar
As much as I like hearing finger nails on a chalk board.
Bette Midler made her chops performing in gay bathhouses. It was quite the thing in California. There were multiple rooms in the bath houses stocked with vasaline where gay couples could do their thing. The horrible AIDS epidemic eventually forced the bath houses to be shuttered.
In spite of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars spent by Dr. Fauci at the NIH, he did not develop a vaccine. Scientists in Europe developed therapeutics to help prolong the lives of AIDS victims.
Even though the militant gay community supported Bette Midler she did nothing to help them and she lost her paying gigs at the bath houses.
Let’s go to the scoreboard for the “illiterate part”: Ms Bette “Wildebeast” Midler has this in her bio - “Midler majored in drama at the University of Hawaii at Manoa but left after three semesters.” I guess she found out that college can be hard?
Hey, Beast, I finished my degree and it wasn’t in Drama. Not poor, Not illiterate in W. V. Oh, by the way, why should I care how many gang bangers live in Brooklyn, asking for a friend.
