“Hey, America — washpoppin’?!”

Cardi B says she’s down to give the Democrats’ rebuttal to President Trump’s State of the Union address after receiving an offer from Stephen Colbert.

“I get straight to the point,” she said. “Government shutdown over.”

The “I Like It” rapper made headlines last week with her profanity-filled rant on Instagram about the country being “in a hellhole” due to the government shutdown.

The post earned her widespread support from celebs and Democrats, and prompted Colbert to create a Twitter “petition” on Wednesday night for her to give the SOTU rebuttal.

“Sign it by retweeting this!” said the “Late Show” host.

The post has since been shared by more than 40,000 people.

Many social media users feel that if the Democrats were to allow Cardi to give the rebuttal, it could possibly go down the same way as her “Love & Hip Hop” interviews — which were filled with the hip-hop star’s signature catchphrases.

In her video introduction, she opened up by saying: “Hey, America — washpoppin’?! My name is Cardi B and you might know me as that annoying dancer on social media that be talking hella crazy with the long nails and the big ol’ t–ties.”

The SOTU address, which is scheduled for Jan. 29, had been “canceled” by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a result of the government shutdown. But it could be back on now following Trump’s decision to temporarily open things up.

“So basically, Nancy Pelosi dog walked Trump” wrote one Twitter user, who got retweeted by Cardi on Friday.

“Basically,” the rapper said.
