Cardi B put Tomi Lahren in her place after the political pundit questioned the purpose of looting as a form of protest in the wake of George Floyd's murder.

Cardi B does not have time for Tomi Lahren's bad takes when yet another black man has just been killed by police. On Wednesday (May 27th), just two days after George Floyd was suffocated to death by Officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis sparking protests around the city, Tomi took to Twitter to share her thoughts on looting that nobody asked for. "How does looting, rioting and destroying your OWN community bring justice for anyone?" the political pundit tweeted, referring to the property damage enacted by protestors in order to make a statement.

Cardi, who has a history of beefing with Tomi and even infamously threatened to "dog walk" her, felt it her civic duty to shut her up. The rapper responded to her tweet the following day, pointing out the big picture and reminding Tomi what they're fighting against in the first place: horrific police brutality.

"How does targeting, profiling, beating and murdering black men with no consequence equal serving and protecting?" Cardi asked. "Who’s giving them justice and trust on cops ? Mind your business and eat your salad !" Later, Cardi shared her own reasons for supporting looting in a statement posted to her social media accounts.

"People are tired," she said. "So now this is what people have to resort to." Cardi also encouraged her followers to get informed on their local representatives and vote in local elections in order to spark change.
