Beyoncé delivers EMPOWERING speech on women’s rights
With the US Presidential Election just days away, the stars are out in force to drum up as much support as possible for Hillary Clinton.
And we reckon that Hillary may have played her trump card (no pun intended) last night, when she was introduced out on stage at a rally by none other than power-couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z.
Not only did the First Lady and Lord of hip-hop pledge their support to Hillary, but they called on their fans everywhere to lend their vote to the Democratic Party candidate.
A stand-out moment from the rally in Cleveland, Ohio was Beyoncé’s stirring speech about women’s rights and how far the US – and the world – has come over the past 100 years.
“There was a time when a woman’s opinion did not matter. If you were black, white, Mexican, Asian, Muslim, educated, poor or rich – if you were a woman, it did not matter. Less than one hundred years ago, women did not have the right to vote,” she said.
She added, to the cheers of the crowd: “Look how far we have come, from having no voice to being on the brink of making history – again – by electing the first woman president.”
The Lemonade star has come in for major praise for her powerful words today, with some even calling for Queen Bey herself to run for the presidency!
Gotta love that that pantsuit tribute, too. What a legend.
