Hey West Virginians, Bette Midler Says You’re All ‘Poor, Illiterate, Strung Out’

Bette Midler’s tweets have a long history of being mean-spirited. Midler is a master of her craft. 

After West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin refused to vote for Democrats’ and President Biden’s massive government spending package – dubbed the “Build Back Better Bill” – which costs around $1.75 trillion dollars and features various radical leftwing policy proposals and purchases, including a child tax credit that Manchin has claimed he does not like.

Manchin’s refusal of support essentially killed the bill and along with it, the Democrat’s political Christmas ambitions. Manchin, who was already a problem for leftist politicians and media, really upset the beehive by this decision. Bette Midler, a Hollywood wench and thorn in their side, was among the most irritated bees.

Manchin paid her bill and the actress from broadway, as well as Hocus Pocus’ star, cracked her teeth and sent a rude and disrespectful email. message to the senator and his constituents in West Virginia. 

This message reflected Hollywood’s stereotype of middle America. Midler loathes middle Americans and by loathe we mean gleefully thinks about them as illiterate morons who can’t help but be “strung out” on opioids in their free time. 

She began by tweeting, “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.” Yep, a nearly $2 trillion spending package filled with Democrat regulations and policies is the only way forward. Manchin could not see the light.

The worst part was yet to come. “He sold us out.  He would like us all to look just like West Virginia. Poor, illiterate and strung out.” Oh wow, that’s real nice, Bette.

What #JoeManchinThis man, representing a small population, was able to do to America what he did to Brooklyn. America wants to progress, not go backwards like his state. We were sold to him. He desires us all to look like West Virginia. Strung-out, poor and illiterate

And here we thought lefties only had compassion for the poor, not condescension and bitterness.That’s what they’re always insisting. They seem to have a lot of contempt for those less fortunate than themselves. 

The tweet didn’t go down well with conservatives. One influencer, Catturd, responded to Midler’s tweet, saying, “This is one of the most horrible tweets in history – pure evil.” He might be right. 

The HodgeTwins are a Conservative Comedy duo tweeted, “You suck as a person.” And while we can’t condone that, it’s hard not to agree.

These disturbing and sexist tweets are again well-known to Midler. Her tweet, which implied that African Americans were being paid to attend a Trump rally, made news a few years back. 

In 2019 she tweeted, “Look, there are African American men in this shot! How much did he pay them to be ‘blackground’?” Wow, that’s another winner. 

Though, Midler isn’t completely braindead. At least she recognized that her tweet about Manchin was wrong, which she later regretted. tweeting, “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.” Oh well, some of that is nice, we guess. 

She added, “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!” Yeah, well there are people who have the state’s interests at heart, and none of them are Bette Midler.
