Hollywood elitist Bette Midler on Monday lashed out at West Virginians after Democrat Senator Joe Manchin killed Biden’s Build Back Broke bill.
“When you have these things coming at you the way they are right now … I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation,” Manchin said on “Fox News Sunday.”

Manchin said he spoke with Biden, Schumer and Pelosi but couldn’t reach an agreement because of ongoing inflation, the national debt and the Covid pandemic.
“This is a no,” The West Virginia Senator said. “I have tried everything I know to do.”
Bette Midler Monday morning called West Virginians “poor, illiterate and strung out” from her ivory tower in response to Manchin listening to his constituents.
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.

Two things, Bette. 1) Read the Constitution, it explains how this all works. 2) don’t plan a trip to West Virginia, the people there are far too decent for your ilk.

Bette Midler doesn’t understand that the Democrats could not even get a simple majority vote, but still thinks she’s better than you. https://t.co/HRBf8lS8JT

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. 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!
