Jay-Z and Beyonce blasted by a conservative political commentator for her Super Bowl Halftime show

New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani thought Beyonce's 2016 Super Bowl Halftime show was inappropriate and it was an attack on the country's police department.

While many commended Queen B for her awesome performance, which includes singing her new single "Formation," others believed it has a hidden message.

The latest to blast the Grammy-award winning singer is "Tomi for TheBlaze" host and conservative political commentator Tomi Lahren. 

She said the biggest American football event is being politicized instead of serving purely as a source of entertainment.

"Now the 2016 Super Bowl halftime show has become a way to politicize and advance the notion that black lives matter more," she said on her show.

"Beyoncé, really? What is the political message here? What is it they are trying to convey here? A salute to what? A group that used violence and intimidation to advance, not racial equality, but an overthrow of white domination."

He also brought up the dark past of Beyonce's husband Jay-Z.

"Your husband was a drug dealer," he blasted. "For 14 years he sold crack cocaine. Talk about 'protecting black neighborhoods.' Start at home."

Representative Peter King also said Beyonce's Super Bowl 2016 Halftime performance is promoting anti-police sentiments.

"The mainstream media's acceptance of her pro-Black Panther and anti-cop video 'Formation' and her Super Bowl appearance is just one more example of how acceptable it has become to be anti-police when it is the men and women in blue who put their lives on the line for all of us and deserve our strong support," King wrote on his Facebook account.

Just a few minutes after the posting of Tomi's reaction, negative reactions flooded in. 

"Does she not understand what's happening to blacks in the USA?" One YouTube user asked.

While another brought up how Jay-Z worked his way to the top despite his dark past.

"He was a crack dealer but now he's a successful business owner and rapper," said a user called Mr. Jenkins.

"Swear I hate people like that always tryna bring people down by their past. White ass bitch he wasn't born with a silver spoon like you hoe. He did what he did for money. Privileged ass white folk."
