    Beyoncé-gate is real, it’s a problem, and the Democrats and Harris campaign know it. A thread 🧵 1/9

  2. #2

    First of all, the context. With Trump visiting Texas Friday for a sit down with Joe Rogan, Kamala needed to make a splash. The play: bring Beyoncé to endorse her in Houston. And the news was spread - but was it going to be more than just an endorsement? 2/9

  3. #3

    Maybe, maybe not. But the media decided a performance was in the cards. 3/9

  4. #4

    You could even watch her perform live! 4/9

  5. #5

    But then she didn’t. 5/9

    30,000 People were mad as hell once Beyonce left the Kamala Rally without performing…total bait & switch operation

    Now, assuming the plan never meant to include a performance, how did the media get it so wrong? There are 3 possibilities: 1. They just assumed it would 2. They were misled by the campaign to believe it would 3. They coordinated with the campaign to mislead the public 6/9

    Recent history seems to indicate that the likely answer is 2 or 3. Either way, they intentionally lied to the Democrat voter base in order to gin up interest in the rally - a rally with higher than usual stakes given it was up against Trump-Rogan. 7/9

    MSNBC treated it as breaking news when the Harris campaign announced that Beyoncé would appear AND PERFORM at a rally in Texas. The pop star did appear but only spoke and did not sing. THEY LIED TO BUILD A CROWD‼️

    But the high profile nature of this lie could have serious repercussions. Average Dem voters are PISSED. And you can tell because the true believers are out desperately trying to debunk the bait and switch. 8/9

    Black woman absolutely destroys Beyoncé 🔥🔥🔥🔥 “Beyoncé, we don’t give a d*mn about you!” “For you to come out here and try to finesse the black vote for a politician who don’t even have no plans for your community goes to show us how much you care about your own people!”

  9. #9

    Will this matter come Election Day? Who knows. But given the collapsing enthusiasm for Harris, and the subsequent decline in the polls, it’s entirely possible that a growing percentage of frustrated Dems stay home - a disaster for the Ds up and down the ballot. 9/9

    CNN says Trump may win the popular vote too. Democrat panic is fully setting in:

    Postscript: Evidence to support the claim they’ve done this before? Exhibit A, DNC in August:

    Kamala has now pulled the Beyoncé scam twice on her supporters. 😂
