In the wake of the leaked video in which Donald Trump said he could grab women “by the p—y,” Trump has gone into full attack mode since before Sunday’s debate by shedding more light on Hillary Clinton’s role in her husband’s predatory behavior with women.
Monday night on CNN, however, Trump’s team of surrogates unveiled a new attack on Hillary: her love for Beyoncé.
On Don Lemon’s program, Betsy McCaughey, a Trump supporter and former lieutenant governor from New York, claimed that Hillary Clinton is a hypocrite for denouncing Trump’s comments on sexual assault, but is a huge fan of Beyoncé, an entertainer who uses “bad language.”
“Hillary Clinton expresses the she finds the language on that bus ‘horrific,’ but in fact, she likes language like this: ‘I came to slay, bitch. When he F me good I take his ass to Red Lobster,'” McCaughey said to the panel.
Lemon laughed, “Did [Hillary] say that?”
McCaughey went on to note that she hated rap music because “it’s full of the f-word, the p-word, the b-word, the a-word.”
Back in December 2015, Hillary praised Beyoncé, saying, “You see her on TV, it’s impressive. You see her in person, you’re just stunned. Thinking like, how does she do that? Really. I mean, she sings, she’s up, she’s down. It’s just amazing. So it’s just not in my astrological reading, I think. So I want to be as good a president as Beyoncé is a performer.”
This isn’t the first time Beyoncé has been the focus of discussion in politics this year. Back in February, Beyoncé performed during the Super Bowl halftime show and was roundly criticized for dressing in resemblance to the Black Panthers and holding the Black Power sign, which resulted in a petition calling for her arrest for “providing material support for terrorism.”
