If you thought Beyhive stings were limited to pop culture figures, we’d suggest you think again. Yep, after former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee learned last year, politicians are not exempt from the wrath of the devoted fan base.
Now, just a month away from what could be a historic U.S. presidential election, former New York lieutenant governor Betsy McCaughey and current economic advisor to Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump should’ve sought some advising of her own before taking to CNN to slam Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton for supporting Beyonce.
Citing lyrics from the Grammy winner’s 2016 top 10 hit ‘Formation’ as evidence of Clinton’s hypocrisy for slamming Trump’s recently uncovered misogynistic rant from 2005, the move appears to have backfired as the ill-prepared comments set Twitter alight.
Check below to see the video that’s got the Beyhive stirring:
Start at the :30 mark:
“All that, and a @Beyonce reference,” said @donlemon. Here’s the @Betsy_McCaughey moment our host was referencing https://t.co/n1xzb7QtJZ

The video above sent McCaughey’s mentions into overdrive. Peep some of the comments below:
She is so stupid..LOL…THEY ARE DRAGGING HER ONLINE. How does that line about f****** her HUSBAND pertain to SEXUAL ASSAULT of grabbing a random woman by the p**** because u are famous..LMAO. I CAN’T…..AMERICA IS A S***-SHOW NOW, were they not the same people that blamed MY LITTLE PONY for some stupid mess.
ATTENTION: To those pressed souls that hate Beyonce so much, pls keep ur HATE CARD at home (HATEBIRD, RIMA THE LONLY VOMITGA FAN, THE LOL GAGA TROLL) and really see how absurd this correlation is.
Again… Beyonce’s impact. Formation is not a number 1 single yet it’s being quoted in reference to the US Presidential Debate. This woman’s importance to the culture exceeds a #1 single because again… that’s what you call IMPACT.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!
Yawnn… Can a Bish impact the charts? All hype, no substance.
Our b***** SELLS her music. Not everyone can say that.
You know you that’ b**** when you cause all this conversation! She meant them words!
If only Beyoncé cared about these politicians as much as they care about her. Everything was good till she came out in support of Black Lives Matters and dropped that woke Album. Oh well, Hilary 2016 ??
Exactly. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that prior to Super Bowl 2016 and her statement in solidarity with #BLM Bey was the closest to being “America’s sweetheart” (i.e. white Amerikkka) that a Black woman has ever been. Then came the Lemonade era and white conservatives are taking shots at her the way they do President Barack Obama. Now they see her as someone who is conscious of the racial dynamics in the United States, and it’s shattered the ‘post-racial’ delusions they wrongfully assumed were embodied by Beyoncé.
The hive is lame
Literally she has to use controversy to get ppl to mention her music these days. Her music has no merit on its own, which is sad after all these years of stepping on people to rise to fame.
you been here aince 2011/2012 and it seems like nobody acknowledges nor use you
.
I guess you more irrelevant than that Beyoncé music you trying to drag
.
take this “L”
You’re delusional. This obviously wasn’t a “controversy” she asked for was it?! This trump supporter was using Bey as a vehicle to attack Hillary Clinton and defend Donald Trump. This obviously wasn’t a controversy she stirred up.
The part of the lyrics that can be linked to Hilary is “I got hot sauce in my bag, Swag”…how is that the same as saying would grab a woman’s p**** & you date your own daughter? Hilary HAS NEVER quoted anything about the second verse of the song no has she acknowledge anything but the hot sauce line so what the he’ll is really going here? Are the Republicans really this desperate this close to voting? Did Beyonce plug this because she’s off till February and needed to draw more attention to Lemonade? Are the Navy finally taking notice that a #1 doesn’t mean s*** if it has no impact outside of Instagram memes? I NEED F****** ANSWERS!!!!!
Lmao those questions!
Bro you do know the world is bigger than the states right?
AYYE! “When he f*ck me good, I take his a** to Red Lobster! If he hit it right, I might take him on a flight in my choppaaa” *twerks* that part is lit! lol
Beyoncé is an entertainer. Wtf?! The reaches are real at this point for trump and his supporters.
Beyoncé writes stupid lyrics. So embarrassing.
But i thought Beyoncé didn’t write? ???? Guess when it’s convenient for the Nàzi’s she writes and than she doesn’t write LMFAOOOO!!!
Poor Trump! Got left in shambles in that debate, now his team and supporters are scrambling for something to fire back with. #Embarrassing
No one drags like the ? Hive. Watch this trick back track.
Funny to me that rap is such a problem but rock is not any better as far as vulgar lyrics. Why not use an Eminem lyric? He’s about as graphic as it gets. But no, choose the black woman who referenced her husband. As a human being it sickens me to my stomach that people like her can get on tv and say dumb s*** that can come off as racist. And I’m pretty sure her man has said worst to her than b****.
Do you remember when Mike Huckleberry bee was dragging Beyonce for her lyrics and music videos and saying they were a bad influence on children and she should be a better role model, but then turned around and shared a stage with Ted Nugent, the white supremacist rocker who made a song about r*ping an underage girl?!
is this b**** a real person? cause to me it looks like a skit from the Reba show, Barbra Jean running for office or something… so tragic that even the hosts were laughing to her face hahahaha
Kmsl @ “Barbara Jean running for office” ?
This only goes to show how too focused they are on having beyonce be respected than the real issues. This is by far the most stupidest post and is unnecessary. I don’t expect this site based in London to take our election serious but to find a way to make it about beyonce and her fans is child’s play. Even though they had this discussion live on television, the backlash should of been more about the actual election than “respect beyonce b****”
You sound stupid.
Not only did she make a fool out of herself and the Republican Party but she disrespected Bey and The Clintons. Obviously Democrats and the Bey-Hive.
I get what you’re saying, this post wasn’t worth the attention. To think people would disrespect someone just because they like an artist? What the entire f***
What’s the worst that this Beyhive can do? Emoji and insult you to death over the internet?!?! Mxm. These people wouldn’t say a 1/3 of the things they say on social media if they were face to face with the people they “sting”.
Hilary Clinton the liar and warlord. Her election will be more of the same particularly the move to promote this American hegemony. And I feel so sad for Syrians, they are going to go through more hell with the election of this lying woman. The less said about Trump the better.
uggg this stupid ugly african
.
yo president has like 700+ charges and he still roam the streets
.
yet you’re here with your solar and car battery charged xiong cheap smartphone
.
did you even eat today or you went to bed hungry?
.
did you fetch water to bath in the morning? ????
.
you stupid stupid hynena pxssy biatch
Why is it that you have to resort to ugly racist stereotypes about Africans simply because he doesn’t share your opinion?
It should be interesting hearing you try to defend that. Your defense will probably be as lame as this trump lady trying to defend trump’s ‘grab ’em by the p*ssy’ comments.
You’re right about that. Regardless of who is president the project of American hegemony and imperialism will continue, as will the suffering of Syrians. No point in pretending that things will get better because Hillary Clinton is elected to office. And it goes without saying things will get much worse if Trump is somehow elected president for the country and the entire world.
I don’t get this why can’t people keep beyonces name out the mouth ! She really has them shook lol
Wow Smdh
Literally making this non existent woman more popular, The Beyhive needs to learn this.
