Breitbart ^ | August 23 2024 | Simon Kent

We were wrong. That was the message Friday from TMZ that acknowledged it falsely claimed pop icon Beyoncé would take the stage in Chicago at the Democratic National Convention.

The entertainment outlet had claimed the hitmaker was set to warm up the crowd before Vice President Kamala Harris strode forward and accepted the Democratic presidential nomination inside the crowded United Center.

That never happened and critics were quick to point out the Democratic Party let the rumors run wild in an effort to boost the primetime television audience.

The Democrats lie and manipulate people. The oligarchs want power and control anyway they can get it. That’s what “Our Democracy” is all about.

What was a tribute to Prince doing at a political convention?

They have to trot out performers because they can’t talk actual policies because their policies are destructive and hurt the American people.

It's an illegal political contribution-in-kind. TMZ can't call it reporting because it didn't happen and wasn't going to happen.

It was a promotion for the Democrat Party - and illegal at that.

A lesson for Beyonce fans.

The Dems promise but never deliver.

The story is the Dems did NOTHING to shoot down what they knew was untrue.

Just like Satan, the Dems NEVER miss an opportunity to DECEIVE.

Does this shock anyone?
They have to pay people, bus them in & put on free concerts to boost ratings.
It’s all a 💩show
I’m surprised Oprah didn’t give any free cars away

The answer is no.

But it wasn’t for lack of want to.

Oprah Winbag put the final nail in her own coffin. A woman who came from poverty to a multi-billionaire the entire world loves and complains about the injustices in America.

Something to do with Prince being “black” like Kamala (right) and from Minnesota like Walz is all I can figure.

I think Prince may have been considered gender fluid, so Walz can probably relate to that too.
