Gov. Jim Justice did not forget the comments Midler made about West Virginians in a December tweet.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Gov. Jim Justice has a message for singer and actress Bette Midler, who called West Virginians"poor, illiterate and strung out" in a tweet after Sen. Joe Manchin refused to support President Joe Biden's Build Back Better Act.
Justice had spent more than an hour touting the state's accomplishments, including two recently announced economic development projects. Midler shot back in a tweet with a ranking of states from an unnamed source showing West Virginia near the bottom in health care, education and the economy. Said Midler, the dog's heinie would make a better governor, though she used a stronger word than that.
