Actress Bette Midler on Friday hit back at West Virginia Republican Gov. Jim Justice, who earlier this week told her and critics of his state to kiss his dog's "hiney."
"BTW, here are the state rankings of all the areas and agencies for which the so-called "Governor" of WVA, #JimJustice, is responsible," Midler responded in tweet Friday, including a photo of West Virginia's rankings from the US News & World Report's "best state" list -- where it finishes 47th in the country.
"Judging from these rankings, I'd say his dog's ass would make a better Governor than him!" she added.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
