Beyonce And Jay Z: Couple Blasted After Paying Bail For Baltimore & Ferguson Protestors [VIDEO]
Beyonce and Jay Z are under fire after bailing out protestors in Baltimore, Md. And Ferguson, Mo. recently.
The power couple might have thought they were doing a good deed when joined the #BlackLivesMatter movement and paid thousands of dollars to help the group of people get out of jail.
Their action was a result of protests in the cities who are battling police brutality. But Fox & Friends hosts Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Steve Doocy thought they were doing it for all of the wrong reasons. They had no problem calling them out on it.
Hasselbeck said, “We know that they’ve been supportive of the administration; over $4 million donated over the course of time to the administration. So in the case of Ferguson, if you like it then I guess you bring the bail for it.”
As for Doocy, he had an issue with the idea of the "Crazy In Love" duo possibly supporting all of the violent riots that broke out in Baltimore.
“So the lawlessness in Baltimore that we saw, and the people that got out, can thank Jay Z and Beyonce now. Now they know.”
This isn’t the only act that Bey has done that was seen as a bad thing. She made a visit to Haiti recently to help victims who were impacted by a major earthquake that hit the area. But some apparently thought Beyonce only showed up for attention.
Several took to Facebook to express their disdain.
“Just another celebrity photo opportunity.”
Another added that Beyonce should go, “Nowhere, because there’s no progress.”
A third fan chimed in with, “The us embassy should know better than us, with the usaid project that u pretend to have for helping Haiti.”
