Music star Beyoncé Knowles, who happens to have been born in Houston, Texas, said this week that the two devastating hurricanes that have hit the United States–Harvey and Irma–are a direct result of climate change, commenting:
“The effects of climate change are playing out around the world every day. Just this past week, you’ve seen devastation from the monsoon in India, an 8.1 earthquake in Mexico, and two catastrophic hurricanes. We have to be prepared for what comes next.”
That led Ben Stein, who is probably best known for a small role in the film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, to attack the pop music sensation. During an appearance on Fox News Saturday, Stein had this to say:
“We don’t need Beyoncé lecturing us on climate change. We don’t need Beyoncé lecturing us on racism.”
While he was at it, Stein also called President Trump “the least racist president ever,” proving that he hasn’t been paying attention.
Within minutes, Twitter took over and ripped the monotone, no-talent Mr. Stein a new one:
It's awful & great that political celebrity death matches in America are like, Ben Stein (oh, you're still alive?) vs Beyoncé.

All I need Ben Stein to lecture me on is Smoot-Hawley. pic.twitter.com/c1KYmglsLy

Lol. @foxnews and Ben Stein are uniquely qualified to evaluate whether @realDonaldTrump is a bigot. That's rich.

So Ben Stein, what have you done to help those suffering? I doubt you visited Houston, donated a 7-figure check, and were welcomed. ??♂️ https://t.co/YPCiCfEq0j

So what, we need the F-list celeb from a 30-year-old movie to lecture us on it instead? FOH with your voodoo climatology, Ben Stein. https://t.co/5ohDlFOZWb

No one needs Ben Stein's lecturing. Ferris Bueller knew it, and skipped his class for a reason. https://t.co/7caqu0q6R5
