Larry Kudlow Goes After Bette Midler "Elite & Snooty"

Writing in a Fox OpEd

And then comes Bette Midler. Now, I normally wouldn't pay any attention to her. In fact, I don't know why anybody would pay any attention to her. But she does make an interesting bi-coastal, elite, snooty point that deserves to be explored.

The Democratic Party, which was once the working man's party, has become the snooty, snobby, look down your nose party. Remember when Hillary called Trump's followers in 2016 "deplorables"?

Even before then Obama ridiculed working folks, in effect saying all they do is "cling to guns or religion." Donald Trump spoke to working folks, and they prospered mightily.

But regarding the West Virginia '"deplorables," how about this? West Virginia has a higher literacy rate than California or New York – 87% to 78% to 77%. – a 10-point lead. And West Virginia is a lot friendlier to business and jobs than New York is.

No one should ever take Bette Midler seriously. She was a cunt then and she’s a cunt now. And she’s not even a clever cunt without Bruce writing for her.

Oh, go fuck yourself, you sanctimonious twat @R1.

The only thing more fucked up than R1's comment is all the Republicans who are now falling all over themselves to claim they identify with the solid, working class folks of WV.

In reality, Manchin and most Republicans wouldn't be caught dead socializing with any of his constituents.

They go to County Fairs and eat Fried Chicken. You can't get more homedown than that

Donald Trump looks down on the people he panders too

And Joe Biden did better with working class voters than Trump did

Right-wingers think it's okay to sneer at New York values or San Francisco values but they can't handle it when the tables are turned on them.

Exactly how did the working class prosper under Trump?

The fuck your feelings/insurrection crowd sure can dish it out but cry little bitches when someone serves it back. Fuck em.

Hillary did not call Trump supporters deplorable she said among a group of largely good people you have a basket of deplorables. That basket attacked the Capitol on January 6th.

I think the Republican attitude towards working class Americans was pretty much summed up by Donald Trump on January 6th, 2021.

Trump was appalled that all the rioters he had summoned to DC weren't dressed in Brooks Brothers suits. He thought they looked like a bunch of run-of-the mill dirtballs.

I read that as "Lisa Kudrow Goes After Bette Midler" and got excited at a real Diva bitch slapping scandal.

Quelle déception!

I don’t care for Democrats anymore but I do want marijuana and hallucinogenics legalized. Both can help so many people. I’m willing to forgo all of it though.

Regarding this topic: Nobody likes working class people. Nobody. Not Democrats or Republicans.

Hasn't Midler learned anything from Debra Messing?

Midler got her big break performing at the Continental Baths which helped put her on the map and then opposed same sex marriage.

I call bullshit on this one.

Why.

Ironically, West Virginia is #2 behind New Hampshire among the states with the highest vaccination rates.

Higher literacy; lower crime. Pays to be po white trash, gay white wokes.
