LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – After publicly feuding with President Donald Trump via social media, actress and comedienne Bette Midler has a new target, Senator Mitch McConnell.

The multiple Emmy, Grammy and Tony winner took to Twitter Monday asking his Kentucky constituents what has the longtime senator done for them in his years in the Senate.

“#Kentucky! Senator #MitchMcConnell has been representing you for over 30 years! You lived through the closing of your coal mines, an opioid crisis, no health care & flooding due to climate change. WHAT HAS HE DONE FOR YOU LATELY? Besides obfuscate and take revenge? What about YOU?” she said.

The tweet comes two weeks after she and President Trump went tit-for-tat and him calling her a “washed up psycho”.  

McConnell hasn’t responded to Midler and it's unclear if he ever will.
