Unsurprisingly, Donald Trump has once again highlighted the seemingly duplicitous behavior of Kamala Harris and her cohorts. His astute observation came in the wake of suspicious celebrity endorsements that have surrounded Harris, as recent claims suggest that the notable singer Beyoncé received an exorbitant $11 million to back Harris in her presidential endeavor.
The scenario surfaced when the famed singer known for ‘Cowboy Carter’ dropped all pretense and publicly endorsed Harris at an abortion rights rally held in Houston, in October. Curiously, her 2016 song ‘Freedom’ surfaced as the official anthem for Harris’ campaign. The entire episode throws light on the questionable ethics of the Democrats and their desperate scramble for a popular edge.
Trump, refusing to turn a blind eye to such potential malpractice, expressed his shock over social media. ‘Looking at the staggering debt accumulated by the Democrats post the presidential elections, it seems they have shelled out a significant sum, allegedly illegally, to singer Beyoncé for an endorsement,’ his fiery post on Truth Social illuminated.
His frustration was palpable when he pointed out the grotesque concept of politicians paying for endorsements, hinting at grim consequences if this practice turned mainstream. ‘Imagine the chaos if politicians started buying endorsements. Such anarchy!’, was Trump’s vehement conclusion.
By playing this unsavory game and engaging in purportedly unlawful actions, Harris and anyone else involved in these endorsement payments are flouting the law, according to Trump. Recommending mandatory prosecution for such indulgence, Trump thanked his followers for their vigilance towards the issue.
The seasoned politician’s outburst wasn’t out of the blue. Earlier in May, he levied similar accusations against Harris. Back then, the President announced his intent to thoroughly scrutinize suspected celebrity endorsements in Harris’ campaign.
However, the charges Trump raised lacked plausible evidence. The Federal Election Commission, tasked with overseeing campaign finances, didn’t record any such $11 million transaction to Beyoncé from Harris’ camp. Interestingly, there also aren’t stringent rules that restrict paying for endorsement.
The origin of the highly debated $11 million figure remains a mystery. Harris’ team vehemently denied the rumored $10 million payment for Beyoncé’s endorsement, which started trending in the virtual world immediately after Beyoncé showed up at Harris’ event in October 2024.
Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, took to Instagram in November 2024, rebuking the fictitious ’10 million rumor’ as a blatant lie. She disregarded the false narrative and affirmed that Beyoncé actually footed the bill for her own travel expenses.
During the 2024 Harris’ rally, the celebrated ‘Destiny’s Child’ alum, Beyoncé appeared alongside fellow singer Kelly Rowland. She used colorful language, claiming it was ‘time for America to sing a new song’ referencing Harris’ presidency. However, many agree, the tune doesn’t quite reflect the majority sentiment.
Beyoncé was present as a civilian, not a celebrity or a politician, elaborating, ‘I’m not here as a celebrity. I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother,’ although her intentions seemed dubious given the clear political nature of the occasion. ‘Your freedom is your God-given right, your human right’ was her closing note, stoking further debate around the issue.
Harris has been a long-time admirer of Beyoncé, venturing as far as attending the singer’s Renaissance World Tour in 2023 after being gifted tickets. Some may perceive this as an innocent appreciation of art; to critical thinkers, it points to possible motives behind Harris’ desperate calls for celebrity endorsements.
In conclusion, these questionable celebrity endorsements surrounding Harris’s campaign demand a comprehensive review. Not only do they indicate dubious payments and mounting campaign debt, but they also spotlight Harris’ seeming desperation to gather popular support by attempting to purchase it outright, a detail that unveils unsettling truths about her political ethos.
