The GOP has been the actual embodiment of a Mr. Krabs meme since Donald Trump’s super-offensive, disparaging comments about women from 2005 were leaked on the web.

While some Republican leaders have scattered, backing away from the “businessman,” other’s have come staunchly to his defense.

Then, Monday night, this woman recited a portion of Beyoncé’s “Formation,” saying Hillary Clinton is a hypocrite because she supports Beyoncé. She compared the song’s lyrics to what was said in the #TrumpTapes.

“All that, and a @Beyonce reference,” said @donlemon. Here’s the @Betsy_McCaughey moment our host was referencing https://t.co/n1xzb7QtJZ

The BeyHive acted appropriately to former NY Lt. Governor, Betsy McCaughey. They literally swarmed her page.

Do you think Trump surrogates understand how popular and beloved Beyoncé is? And that Trump wasn’t quoting song lyrics??
