Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is not as psyched about Beyoncé’s VMA performance as the rest of America was.
Guiliani told “Fox and Friends” on Monday that he has“saved more black lives than any of those people you saw on stage.” The 15-minute spectacle on Sunday included a medley of Beyoncé’s songs from her latest album “Lemonade” with dancers, lights and choreography used to make a statement against police brutality.

“This is football, not Hollywood, and I thought it was really outrageous that she used it as a platform to attack police officers who are the people who protect her and protect us, and keep us alive,” Giuliani said the day after, New York Daily News reported.
