Appearing on CNN Monday night, former New York Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey took issue with Clinton calling Trump’s language in a leaked 2005 video tape “horrific” and quoted from Beyoncé’s hit song “Formation” to make her point.

“In fact, she likes language like this: ‘I came to slay, bitch. When he eff me good, I take his ass to Red Lobster,’” McCaughey said, prompting host Don Lemon to ask if Clinton actually said she liked those lyrics.

“That happens to be a line from Beyoncé, her favorite performer, who she says she idolizes and would like to imitate,” the longtime adversary of the Democratic nominee replied, to laughter from Lemon.

“There’s a lot of hypocrisy in Hillary Clinton expressing such horror at the language on the [Access Hollywood] bus,” McCaughey concluded.

Earlier in the segment, when McCaughey suggested that anyone who likes rap music but denounces Trump is a hypocrite, Lemon attempted to remind her that rappers and hip-hop artists “are not running for president.”
