Tomi Lahren is getting stung after coming for Beyoncé on Twitter.
Early Wednesday morning, the Fox News contributor angered the Beyhive by sharing a photo of the pop star presenting former San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick with Sports Illustrated's Muhammad Ali Legacy Award on Tuesday night.

Last year, Kaepernick began protesting racial injustice and police brutality by taking a knee during the singing of the national anthem at NFL games. He received the award for using his platform to bring awareness to the injustice and eliciting change.
"How far we've fallen was obvious November 8, 2016," a Beyonce supporter tweeted at Lahren.
Another wrote, "Beyonce and Kaepernick have been very clear that they respect the police. What they protest is the continued racial inequality and unjustified homicides of black men and women at the hands of too many officers."

Tomi Lahren and Chelsea Handler's Politicon Debate Got Heated
View StoryBoth Beyonce and Kaepernick are popular targets for Lahren, an outspoken conservative critic of just about anything liberal. The former Blaze personality, who rose to fame for offering her often viral "Final Thoughts," criticized Beyonce's 2016 Super Bowl Halftime Show, because it paid homage to the Black Panthers movement and Black Lives Matter and featured all-black back-up dancers.
Earlier this year, Lahren also criticized the music superstar for speaking out against climate change during at a benefit for Hurricane Harvey relief. "Conservation efforts only apply to the little people," Lahren said on Fox News in September. "The rest of us are supposed to let our energy-producing communities shut down because Beyonce, Leonardo DiCaprio, Stevie Wonder have made climate change their default religion and onstage talking point."
See some of the blowback Lahren received in the tweets below.

Criminally dishonest. You are not a journalist, you are a propagandist.
Enjoy infamy.
The Beyoncé jealousy is real. 😂 Perhaps because she is a beautiful, successful, talented woman and isn't on her parent's insurance?
@marcellalaluna
You keep mentioning Beyoncé why? You'd think you have more important issues to worry about. She's never said a single word or thing about you lady. Lmao
@Xander_ascends
Beyoncé has more class in her finger than you ever will, Tomi. #Beyonce

Watch Bey catch some shit for giving a speech and awarding Kaepernick. I can already hear Tomi Lahren now. “Beyoncé, you presented an award to someone who did a disgusting and distasteful act against this country's flag.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@BiggA1993
Who else is waiting to see Tomi turn bright red from Beyonce presenting Colin with the Muhammad Ali award? I can't wait. 🍿
@OfficialLeroy
He should be commended for giving voice to those that are not famous. Oh wait, he was!
@sneakin
YOU are an example of how far we've fallen.
