Bette Midler is apologizing for insulting the people of West Virginia. The actress and liberal activist took to Twitter to blast Democratic Senator Joe Manchin’s opposition to fellow Democrats’ one-point-nine trillion dollar social spending bill. Midler’s Tweet accused Manchin of “selling out,” then she added he wants the rest of the country to be like his state, “poor, illiterate, and strung out.” After fierce online backlash, Midler soon tweeted “I apologize to the good people of WVA for my last outburst,” but she went on to call Manchin and his family criminals.
