Conservatives criticize DNC for allegedly spreading Beyonce rumors to boost audience turnout at Elections

Republicans are accusing Democrats of using deceptive tactics after Beyonce failed to make a surprise appearance at the Democratic National Convention. Rumors of Beyonce performing at the convention before Vice President Kamala Harris’s speech had circulated widely, but when she didn’t show up, some on the Right claimed it was a ploy to boost viewership for Harris. Despite no direct evidence supporting this theory, Republicans like Sean Davis and CJ Pearson criticized Harris for allegedly lying about the singer’s appearance. Laura Loomer also joined in, accusing Democrats of intentionally deceiving the audience to increase viewership. The White House’s political director teased Beyonce’s appearance in a now-deleted post, but later clarified that it was a mistake made by her child. Beyonce’s hit song “Freedom” has become a theme for the Harris camp, but her publicist confirmed there was no live performance planned for that night. While Beyonce endorsed the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020, she has not publicly supported Harris in this election cycle. The controversy surrounding Beyonce’s absence at the DNC highlights the tense political atmosphere ahead of the upcoming elections, with Republicans pointing to this incident as evidence of Democrats’ lack of transparency.
