Babydog, for her part, looked really confused as to why her owner was showing her ass to the world.Related: Everyone needs to hear Bette Midler’s moving Kennedy Center honors speechThis isn’t the first time Justice has shown himself as a disconnected moron.
Last year, he participated in a disastrous MSNBC interview in which he tried to defend a new law that banned transgender middle and high school students from competing in sports.When pressed to cite an example of a trans student trying to use gender identity to gain an advantage in sports, Justice couldn’t.
He also couldn’t explain why he had prioritized the bill in a state that ranked 45th in education, 47th in healthcare, 48th on the economy, and 50th in infrastructure.Midler has yet to respond to Justice’s butt waving remarks.Twitter, on the other hand, has major thoughts.
