Kamala Booed After Beyoncé Bait-N-Switch
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,
The Kamala Harris rally in Houston last night was billed as a Beyoncé concert. Everyone, including the media, believed the singer would perform after the announcement was made earlier in the week, but all she did was walk out and make a barely audible speech for a few minutes. Then the rally descended into complete chaos.
This is the extent of her appearance:

Firstly, you can’t hear a word she’s saying.
What’s so difficult about taking a direct feed from the microphones? It seems some outlets got the feed but others didn’t. What a mess.
Secondly, 30,000 people showed up and waited in line because they believed it was a Beyoncé concert.
A million people tried to get tickets because they thought it was a Beyoncé concert.

The rally then descended into absolute chaos as some people left, while others kicked up a fuss about Beyonce not singing.
The media spun this as Trump supporters ‘protesting’, and Harris repeated a line about showing them the way to the “smaller rally down the road,” referring to Trump’s event.

Boos and yelling were heard at the rally as Harris failed to calm down the rowdy crowd.

But the fact is, they weren’t Trump supporters, they were just pissed off that they’d been misled.

Perhaps the most hilarious aspect of this was that the performance they actually got was 91 year old Willie Nelson.
They came for Beyoncé and this is what Harris gave them 🤣https://t.co/iVzu0NlNLs

They haven’t learned their lesson from last time either.
Fans of pop star Beyoncé are annoyed that a rumour was spread early in the day that she would be a surprise guest at the finale of the DNC, with some fans accusing the Democrats of being “f***ing liars.” https://t.co/57bqvylPF1
