Some Britney Spears fans—and Twitter users in general—aren’t too thrilled with Tomi Lahren right now. 

The conservative talking head took to the app to air out some concerns with what she calls “free loaders,” and in the process she used a classic Britney lyric.

To all the free loaders still collecting taxpayer funded government unemployment $$ and refusing to work..

In the words of the great Britney Spears, “you better work B*TCH!”

“To all the free loaders still collecting taxpayer funded government unemployment $$ and refusing to work,” Tomi wrote. “In the words of the great Britney Spears, ‘you better work B*TCH!’”

Of course, this tweet came the same week that Britney testified in court, calling for an end to her “abusive” conservatorship, which has been in place for 13 years. 

“All I want is to own my money … and for this to end … and for my boyfriend to be able to fucking drive me in his car,” Britney told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny via phone on Wednesday. “And honestly … I want to be able to sue my family … I have an IUD in my body right now that won’t let me have a baby and my conservators won’t let me go to the doctor to take it out. I wanna be able to get married and have a baby.”

Hours after her initial tweet, Tomi shared a post from Fox Nation to express her thoughts on the #FreeBritney movement, saying that “it’s about dang time to free Britney.” Tomi has taken to Instagram and Twitter to support the pop star over the last few days, and while some fans are happy about that, others we’re already upset with the way she dropped the Britney lyric earlier in the day. Check out what they had to say below.

 

Wow. Using Britney to stay relevant. Classy.

I guess not everyone can find a high paying job that entails screaming daily over made up controversies.

You're upset that people get an extra $300 but you are okay with rich people paying no tax? ... As a side note raise the minimum wage!

Oh course MAGA Barbie would attempt to use Britney’s tragedy to make a non-relevant political point.
This is about Britney, bitch! Take several seats. https://t.co/NmJEAqSpEr

FREE BRITNEY!

Let’s be honest, Britney Spears is far more competent and capable than the man running our country (into the ground) for cryin’ out loud! Free Britney!

We will discuss on @OutnumberedFNC noonET FoxNews
