West Virginia Coal Miner Hits Back: We Contribute More to America than Bette Midler
Breitbart ^

Posted on 12/23/2021 6:42:50 PM PST by Impala64ssa

A West Virginia coal miner reacted to left-wing Hollywood star Bette Midler insulting the people of his state, pointing out that West Virginians contribute far more to the United States than the actress.

“I think my first reaction was, ‘Bette Who?’ I don’t really recall anything that she’s done too significant here in the last little bit,” coal miner Bo Copley told Fox & Friends First on Wednesday. Copley added that West Virginians aren’t losing any sleep over Midler’s insult, especially given that her career has been at a standstill for a while. “I don’t think a lot of West Virginians are losing sleep over it,” he said.

“The only thing to lose sleep over is getting up early and heading out and going to work.” They have the platforms. They’re the people that can get their tweets read and for people react to,” Copley said of left-wing celebrities like Midler. “But, honestly, we know, deep in our hearts, the things that we do here in this state really drive this nation far more than someone like Bette Midler or Hollywood liberal elitists.” The coal miner also said there are plenty of people in West Virginia who are talented enough to do Midler’s job better than she can. “The way I look at it, I’m sure there are way more people in this state that could do her job than any of these jobs that she can possibly do,” Copley said. “So, I would throw that gauntlet down and say, ‘You come to do what we do and see how well you do at it, or give us a chance to do what you do. “And, I promise you, we could do better at what she does,” he added. Midler had insulted

Video and tweets at link. West Virginians are strung out? People who live in glass houses..... For ages the sleazy world of show biz has been infested with drunks and druggies. Not to mention sexual predators and child molesters. Goes a long way to explain why so many overpaid mannequins are rabid gun control advocates. The hypocrisy and regional bigotry is strong with this saggy boobed bimbo.

Aren’t Bette Midler and Joy Behar redundant? They have to be the same person.

Also Kathy Griffin. Basically interchangeable, by choice.

I think that Kathy Griffin might be slightly thinner than the other two, but I am not sure. I don’t think she’s been in much in the past 25 years. Chelsea Handler, Amy Schumer (yes, related to the Senator), and Sarah Silverman are also interchangeable. They are all horrible. Add Cher to that list which could go on for a while.

Joe Manchin is giving his voters what they elected him to do. Taking care of their needs and that of the US citizenry as a whole. A rare show of courage and statesmanship for any person who has a lot to lose politically.

I appreciate his putting a stop to a treasonous bill that the communist democrat party had gone overboard with in trying to legislate into law numerous destructive programs that would destroy this Republic.

I am well acquainted with family and friends in, and from, Kentucky and WV. You have certainly gotten to the heart and spirit of those fellow Americans who live there. Good, honest and patriotic people.

The drugs etc are so prevalent in most states, especially in Midler’s line of work.......not in WV.

Midler is typical of uninformed, ignorant, media promoted commie shills who spew out whatever gets attention that promotes their anti American agenda.

God bless Senator Manchin and West Virginia’s citizens.

Bette Midler weighs in, why exactly? To virtue signal to her fellow Hollywood idiots?
