Midler: McConnell Will Leave ‘Us’ Treading Water While Rich Sail Yachts. She’s Worth $250 Million.

On Sunday, activist Bette Midler preemptively attacked GOP Senate Majority Mitch McConnell for blocking future progressive legislation, tweeting, “We’ll be treading water for years, except the rich, sailing by us on their yachts.”

“How will Americans make any progress with @MoscowMitch as #SenateMajorityLeader?” Midler wrote. “He’ll block every piece of legislation created to move us forward, because that’s the definition of conservatism. We’ll be treading water for years, except the rich, sailing by us on their yachts.”
