Kamala Harris booed several times at Houston rally after Beyoncé appeared but did not perform
Tens of thousands of people reportedly attended the campaign rally for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in Houston, Texas, on Friday night in hopes of seeing Beyoncé perform, but many left very disappointed. The Harris campaign estimated that 30,000 attended the rally at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, the hometown of the popular R&B singer-songwriter. 'They booed the hell out of everybody. They thought she was going to perform.'“We are at the precipice of an incredible shift, at the brink of history," Beyoncé told the crowd. "I’m not here as a celebrity. I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live, a world where we have freedom to control our bodies, a world where we are not divided — our past, our present, our future meet us here.”MSNBC and other outlets cited a campaign source to report that Beyonce would be performing at the rally, but she instead only spoke for a few minutes and left. After she walked off the stage, the audience appeared to turn on Harris. A Blaze News review of Harris' speech available on YouTube confirmed that the Democrat was constantly interrupted by large portions of the crowd booing and shouting. Videos posted to social media captured some of the moments when outraged attendees interrupted Harris, but it's unclear if those were edited. Former President Donald Trump mocked and ridiculed Harris over the apparent debacle. "Beyoncé went up and spoke for a couple of minutes and then left, and the place went crazy," Trump said at a rally in Michigan. "They booed the hell out of everybody. They thought she was going to perform. What happened was my opponent got up and started speaking, and they booed the hell out of her. It’s crazy." Like Blaze News?
