And she wants you to know it cost her a lot of money:
"I got to SACRIFICE a lot of money to perform," Cardi says. "But there's a man who sacrificed his job for us, so we got to stand behind him." (via @toofab) https://t.co/JZIoNXjO9X

ACT 2:
As we told you earlier about, The Daily Beast called the New England Patriots, who are of course playing in tonight’s Super Bowl, “the preferred team of white nationalists”:
Their star quarterback, coach, and owner all supported Trump. But that’s not the only thing that makes the Patriots the preferred team of white nationalists https://t.co/C1KnQNXa9b

ACT 3:
And here’s Cardi B dancing with Bob Kraft, owner of the “team preferred by white nationalists,” at an official Super Bowl party:

Fin.
What a hypocrite:
What kind of BS is this??? Cardi B took plenty of money to perform at a Super Bowl Party today. At The Fanatics party- she danced with Bob Kraft. What kind of selective boycott is this? https://t.co/6JsU8x2AGr
