On Sunday morning, Cardi B responded to Lahren: \u201cLeave me alone I will dog walk you.\u201d Lahren quickly\u00a0responded<\/a>\u00a0to Cardi B, \u201cI\u2019m sure you would. Still doesn\u2019t make your political rambling any less moronic. #BuildthatWall.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rapper fired back, \u201cYou\u2019re so blinded with racism that you don\u2019t even realize the decisions the president you root for is destroying the country you claim to love so much. You are a perfect example on no matter how educated or smart you think you are you still a SHEEP!\u201d<\/p>\n

When a Twitter user named \u201cWhite Bread\u201d chimed in to ask whether Cardi B would pay for his insurance, the rapper tweeted back, \u201cIm paying about 4 million in taxes this year so most likely I am Paying for your insurance \u2026.That\u2019s if your favorite president don\u2019t take my tax money for his wall Mr white bread.\u201d<\/p>\n

A fellow Bronx native also came to Cardi B\u2019s aid:<\/p>\n

Why do people think they can mess with Bronx women without getting roasted?<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Cardi B shared a meme that challenged Trump supporters to work for free while the government is shut down to show their allegiance to the president. \u201cmAkE aMeRicA GrEaT AgAIn ! Headass,\u201d Cardi B wrote<\/a>. The rapper also shared photos of the Cardi B-inspired signs on Saturday\u2019s Women\u2019s March in Washington, D.C.:<\/p>\n

\u201cI just wanted to remind you because it\u2019s been a little over three weeks, OK. Trump is now ordering, as in summonsing, federal government workers to go back to work without getting paid,\u201d Cardi B said Wednesday. \u201cNow, I don\u2019t wanna hear y\u2019all motherfuckers talking about, \u2018Oh, but Obama shutdown the government for 17 days. Yeah, bitch \u2013 for healthcare. So your grandma could check her blood pressure, and you bitches could go check your pussies at the gynecologist with no motherfucking problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
