Actress and singer Bette Midler minced no words in telling West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice (R) what she thought of his governing in the state, saying in a fiery tweet on Friday, “I’d say his dog’s a– would make a better Governor than him!”

The Grammy Award-winning singer tweeted a photo of West Virginia's rankings in areas such as health care, the economy and infrastructure, showing the state's overall rank in the country at 47th place. The screenshot of the rankings was apparently sourced from U.S. News & World Report.

BTW I’d rather hear Gov Justice’s dogs ass sing ‘wind beneath my wings’ than I would Midler.

She is well acquainted with asses of all kinds

[Shady]

Has Bette “Muddler” ever set foot in West Virginia?

[xp38]

This witch again?

[TomGuy]

Typical leftist — can’t win the argument with facts, so she resorts to insults.

[chalkfarmer]

Brace yourself for the Tik Tok videos...

[Luke21]

Manilow denies being part of it.

“I’d say his dog’s a– would make a better Governor than him!”

If my dog looked like Bette Midler, I'd shave its a- and teach it to walk backwards.

[cnsmom]

She was done long ago that is why she felt safe to say such insulting things. She refuses to be ignored.

Those aren’t her words ... she was only the singer.

[robel]

That explains why democrats consistently vote for dog a__ candidates.

[Republican Wildcat]

She said them and it was / is ‘her’ song.

The point was rhetorical since she starts these kinds of fights by just being plain nasty - not that she personally wrote the words.

[Bellagio]

Bette Midler never grew up. Her state of mental development is perpetually stuck at the level of a 6 year old.

[Tommy Revolts]

His dog’s a— is better looking than her face.

Lol. Touche.

[cymbeline]

“She just can’t let it go. Retard.”

But nevertheless, good one, Bette!

[ronnie raygun]

OOOooo what a comeback for a has been so called comedic puke

[cableguymn]

her opinion and 5 bucks still won’t get you a decent cup of coffee at Starbucks.

[DoodleBob]

Thanks for the correction. Noted.

Ain't that a kick in the head...the guy who's "out" isn't joining the banned-wagon.

[sauropod]

Bette was shown up by Gov. Justice and she doesn’t like it.
