Conservatives Are Positively Fuming After Lizzo Twerked While Playing 200-Year-Old Flute

\u201cThe @librarycongress has the largest flute collection in the world with more than 1,800. It incl Pres James Madison\u2019s 1813 crystal flute. \n@lizzo we would love for you to come see it and even play a couple when you are in DC next week. Like your song they are \u201cGood as hell.\u201d\ud83d\ude09\u201d

\u201cHearing @lizzo play some of the Library's priceless antique instruments on Monday was such a gift, and we were honored and happy to help her share that gift with her concert audience Tuesday night. Here is some more behind-the-scenes footage of her Library tour. #LizzoAtLOC\u201d

\u201cIf all we had seen was the clip of Lizzo playing the flute in the halls of the Library of Congress while wearing a semi-modest outfit, everyone would have shrugged. But that's not the clip everyone championed as groundbreaking: it was the clip where she bragged about twerking.\u201d

\u201cLizzo twerking nearly naked while playing the #JamesMadison flute somehow feels like somebody took a dump on the American flag.\u201d

\u201cLizzo isn't talented enough to play music on a $20 Yamaha Plastic Recorder off Amazon let alone a crystal flute once owned by James Madison.\n\nThe Biden Administration is making a mockery of the country.\u201d

\u201cLizzo playing James Madison's flute was a form of racial retribution, according to the woke Left. And I actually have no doubt that this is part of the reason why the Library of Congress facilitated this spectacle.\u201d

\u201cLizzo, you've played #JamesMadison's flute, now come visit his house! \ud83d\ude4f\n@lizzo \n\n#Lizzo #Flute @librarycongress #Yitty @Yitty\u201d

\u201cAs someone who spent a large portion of her childhood playing the flute\u2026this is very very cool \ud83d\ude0d\u201d

\u201cWhite people freaking out over Lizzo playing a slaver\u2019s flute is my favorite Twitter right now.\u201d

— Elie Mystal (@Elie Mystal) 1664414453

\u201cHOW DARE THEY! It seems like the only reasonable thing to do now is for the @librarycongress to let every single world-class, top selling, Grammy Award winning, Billboard topping, flute playing, badass POC woman-identified artist play that crystal flute. Fair is fair. @lizzo\u201d

\u201cFascinating to see Ben Shapiro histrionically claim that Lizzo playing that crystal flute is "controversial", but for some reason, he doesn't actually explain why he feels it's controversial. No explanation for that. Gee, I wonder why.\u201d

\u201cAre republicans still mad about @lizzo playing a flute that none of them knew existed three days ago?\u201d

\u201cracism is so funny, how are conservatives mad at Lizzo for playing an old flute right now \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\u201d
