Bette Midler is walking back an insult.
The 76-year-old performer is known for speaking her mind on Twitter – especially when it comes to politics.
On Monday, she took to social media to slam Joe Manchin, West Virginia's Democratic senator who has announced that he's against the Build Back Better Act, which would expand the country's social safety net.
"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," Midler tweeted. "He sold us out. He wants us all to be just like his state, West Virginia. Poor, illiterate and strung out."

Aww ok. Never mind, don't worry about it.
“I’m just seeing red”
I bet you are.
So smart she doesn’t even know ow what she said right there
Because this apology sounds like an "Oh-s--t" apology rather than a non-apology apology.
Actually, she really thinks this. She just accidentally let it slip out. Kind of like a drunken rant.
She’s entitled to her feelings.
Expressing them this way tells us her thoughts.
What do we call it when we disparage a whole group of people based on an anecdote or stereotype?
Yeah, and when the rest of us look at you, we're just seeing fat, old, stupid, and ugly.
What do you expect from a woman who was best buds with Harvey Weinstein..she is one to judge ANYONE..Id take 10,000 West Virginians over Hollywood pedophiles anyday
This old bag has been a vile wench for a very long time.
Few things more galling than a rich, pampered liberal that lives in a bubble of money and security dictating to the rest of us how we ought live.
Even idiots like you come around eventually.
Such a horrible women.
Being a Liberal?
Build Back Better is a tax cut for the weslthy.
Notice how they never call their own constituents poor, illiterate or ignorant?
Hag and a half.
There is a reason Actors were considered the scurge of the earth in Roman times
That woman is a P-I-G pig
Always has been
There’s no whore like an old whore and Midler is an oooooooold whore.
“What do you expect from a woman who was best buds with Harvey Weinstein”
I had that thought too. With Weinstein wrapped up and no longer an influencer, why the need to say something and prove your still part of the protection racket for Hollywood criminals.
