Mike Huckabee is waging a war of words against Beyoncé yet again…

The former Arkansas governor and Fox News commentator continued to slam the Grammy-winning singer during a guest appearance on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart yesterday night.

"Beyoncé is such a mega-talent, she can do anything," the 59-year-old politician began by saying. "She's got the pipes to sing, she's got the moves to dance. She doesn't have to be vulgar in order to set a trend. Young girls want to be like her."

He continued, "Do you know any parent who has a daughter who says, 'Honey if you really make good grades, some day when you're 12 or 13, we'll get you your own stripper pole?' Come on, Jon, we don't do that in our culture!"

Huckabee's comments didn't seem so sit well with Jon Stewart, who quickly replied, "I think that's diminishing Beyoncé in a way that is truly outrageous....You don't approve of Beyoncé because she seems alien to you."

Earlier this month, Huckabee tackled subjects like gay marriage, airport security and even Bey and her hubby Jay Z.

"Beyoncé is incredibly talented—gifted, in fact," read an excerpt from Huckabee's book, posted by U.S. News & World Report on Thursday. "She has an exceptional set of pipes and can actually sing. She is a terrific dancer—without the explicit moves best left for the privacy of her bedroom."

He further wrote, "Jay-Z is a very shrewd businessman, but I wonder: Does it occur to him that he is arguably crossing the line from husband to pimp by exploiting his wife as a sex object?"

Hmm...what do you think of his latest diss at Queen Bey? Tell us in the comments section below!
