Left-wing actress Bette Midler, whose estimated net worth is $250 million, had the hot take of the night as Russian forces poured into Ukraine when she suggested that “climate change” was the bigger story. [bold, links added]
“It’s almost like TV programming. Soon as the #ChineseOlympics were over, #Putin gins up war w/Ukraine to keep our eyes glued to the Communist world,” she tweeted. “But the biggest story in the world is #ClimateChange. What good is more territory if you can’t breathe the air or drink the water?”

Bette Midler’s latest hot take comes after faced criticism for calling the people of West Virginia “illiterate” after Sen. Joe Manchin (D) sunk the “Build Back Better” agenda.
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.

“It created the … conditions of extreme poverty that has led now to the rise of ISIL and this extreme violence,” he added.

Here’s hoping you’re the first to give up breathing the air Bette.
She should stop making movies and stuff and take up living in place far far away and living off the Grid and without anyone to come by for a Visit
If it was 10°C warmer, I could still breathe air and drink water. Midler is an idiot.
