"Wind Beneath My Dress" singer makes disgusting remarks about W Virginians being "poor, illiterate"

It's one thing to disagree with a person's political ideology, and quite another to attack that person ad hominem along with the people of his state because of those disagreements. 

That is exactly what Bette Midler did when Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) voted the way his constituents wanted him to vote: against the "drunken sailor in a whorehouse" spending bill known as Build Back Better, which would have cost the taxpayers somewhere in the neighborhood of three trillion dollars with a future spending that would just keep going and going.

On Monday, Midler took to Twitter to attack Joe Manchin--she tweeted:

"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. He sold us out. He wants us all to be just like his state, West Virginia. Poor, illiterate and strung out."

What a piece of work.

While Brooklyn has 2.9 people living under the fist of Mayor Bill de Blasio for another few days, Manchin's constituency of about 1.8 million people are represented by him and his vote against BBB was for them, not for people in Brooklyn. That's what he is elected to do, not what Bette Midler wants him to do.

And it's no big surprise that he voted against the BBB--he said he would months ago if his party didn't cut the spending down. Why are they acting surprised?

After her anti-West Virginia tweet, Midler, 76, began taking a lot of heat for the bile she spewed. She realized the best thing to do would be to apologize for her thoughtless remarks about West Virginians she cruelly judged but never even met:

"I apologize to the good people of WVA for my last outburst," she tweeted. "I’m just seeing red; #JoeManchin and his whole family are a criminal enterprise. 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!"

So her apology included an attack on Joe Manchin again, and now his family. 

What a grody shoal [see Urban Dictionary] Midler shows herself to be, and it wasn't long before she attacked Manchin again. "His indifference is immense. Like the rest of his family, he hasn’t a shred of conscience," she wrote.

It's obvious Midler knows nothing about Joe Manchin other than the fact that he didn't vote the way she wanted, or the way people who are the least affected by gross inflation wanted him to vote. Attacking his family is a childish reaction and speaks volumes about Midler's offscreen character.

Manchin appeared on "Fox News Sunday," He told host Bret Baier that he had spoken to alleged President Biden, House Speaker Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck "Nostrils" Schumer (D-NY) but they couldn't reach an agreement in BBB. They wanted to blow out the spending and go full commie and this didn't sit well with Manchin, who had said months ago that he would not vote for such an irresponsible piece of legislation. 

"I've done everything humanly possible," Manchin said, explaining how hard he has worked to try to reach an acceptable compromise on the bill, but the left wouldn't budge and neither would he.

Manchin said that with inflation increasing, the national debt, "geopolitical unrest," and the current pandemic, the Build Back Better bill by Biden [or his puppet master] was too much to accept.

Meanwhile, Bette Midler is still a pompous ass who knows what is actually in the BBB bill as much as Alexandria Obviously-Commie knows about economics.
