Well, Midler isn't wrong about West Virginia governor Jim Justice. Justice made his billions in coal, and only switched to the rep party to win his seat when he won. He is still a republikklan and has ruled his sorry state supporting the money train with almost NONE of it going to his state.
justice has also ruled against any energy controls and environment protections that endanger his pac donor standing with his source of income. Just like munchkin.
What are the dems supposed to do when the 'minority leader' has stated multiple times in the last year publicly that he will do everything in his power to stop every single bill by Biden. Gee, that's mitch. And he also claims at the times that he is 100% focused to do so. I don't recall any dems up to the J6 that said anything like that. It's been a different story since then and should be.

On August 3, 2017, Justice announced that he had rejoined the Republican Party. He made the announcement at a rally hosted by President Donald Trump in Huntington and also confirmed his support for the sitting president. Justice said that he was returning to the GOP because he could not support President Trump as a member of the Democratic Party. The announcement came as a surprise to his own staff.[38] This also made Justice the first Republican governor of West Virginia since Cecil Underwood in 2001.

Even after switching to the Republican Party, Justice initially supported incumbent Democrat Joe Manchin for his reelection campaign in the 2018 Senate election in West Virginia.[39] However, later in the general election, Justice endorsed Republican Senate candidate, Patrick Morrisey.[40] In February 2021, when asked by The New York Times if he plans on running against Manchin, Justice said, "No, I’m really not . . . f I can continue to do good stuff for West Virginia, I’m going to do it, and then probably fade off into the sunset."[41]
In 2020 Justice signed into law the Critical Infrastructure Protection Act, which created felony penalties for protests targeting oil and gas facilities. The law, which was passed with the support of Dominion Energy, the West Virginia Oil and Natural Gas Association, and the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers trade association, was described by its sponsor John Kelly as having been "requested by the natural gas industry".[42]
