Beyonce Bandmate Confronts Huckabee On 'The View


After a week of public flogging for his attacks on Beyoncé, whose music he called "toxic mental poison," former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's (R) next stop was "The View," where the pop-star's former group mate called him out on his remarks.

Referencing one of music's best-known couples Beyoncé and Jay-Z by their last name, former Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams told the Republican, "I’m not the Carter spokesperson, but to hear some of those comments that you said I thought were very, very, very low.”

Huckabee stressed that he thought Beyoncé had a "great set of pipes" but should not produce songs he felt were too s ual for a mass audience. He directed the "View" hosts to read his book, "Gns, God, Grits and Gravy."

“I’ve said to people, read it and if you’re still offended, so be it,” the former governor said.

In his book, Huckabee suggested Jay-Z had gone "from husband to piiiiimp by exploiting his wife as a object."

Huckabee's take on Beyoncé gained more attention when Huckabee criticized the President for letting his teenage daughters listen to the pop-star's music. This week on "The Daily Show," Huckabee said that letting children listen to Beyoncé is the equivalent of buying a 12-year-old girl a s pole."
