‘BITCH, I’M SCARED’

Cardi B Savages Trump Over Shutdown: ‘We Need to Take Some Action’

Rapper throws support behind federal workers who are not getting paid.

Cardi B has launched a blistering attack on Donald Trump over the government shutdown and thrown her support behind the federal employees who are working without getting paid. “Hey y’all! I just want to remind you because it has been a little over three weeks,” she told her 40 million Instagram followers. “Trump is now ordering, as in summoning, federal government workers to go back to work without getting paid.” She defended Barack Obama’s shutdown, saying that was over health care—not a deeply controversial and expensive border-wall project. “Yeah, bitch — [that shutdown was] for health care,” she said, “so your grandma could check her blood pressure and you bitches could go check your pussy at the gynecologist with no motherfuckin’ problem.” She told her followers: “I feel like we need to take some action. I don’t know what type of action, bitch, because that’s not what I do. But, bitch, I’m scared.”
