Democrats are emptying their playbook to get Kamala Harris elected.

They are hitting new lows to prop her up. 

And Megyn Kelly blew the whistle on this awful political stunt to help Kamala Harris. 

Democrats lied about Beyonce performing to boost viewership for Kamala

The final day of the Democrat National Convention was filled with rumors that a surprise celebrity guest was going to appear before Vice President Kamala Harris gave her acceptance speech.

Rumors circulated on social media that were picked up by major media outlets that hip hop star Beyonce was going to give a surprise performance before Kamala spoke.

But the night came and went without any appearance from her or any other surprise celebrity guest.

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly called out the media frenzy about the surprise celebrity appearance on her SiriusXM show.

“This is why I think they released the lie about Beyonce allegedly showing up at the event last night,” Kelly said. “They wanted to boost ratings. That would be absolutely stupid to say she’s coming when you know she’s not coming, if it didn’t have a real purpose.”

Younger viewers and fans of Beyonce almost certainly tuned in with the hopes of seeing her perform.

“Why would you say, ‘We almost got her and we didn’t,’ and just disappoint everybody? But it does make sense if your goal is to boost the numbers… I think the whole ‘Beyonce is coming, she’s not coming,’ thing was a ruse to boost the ratings,” Kelly explained. 

The media was in on the Beyonce deception

TMZ gave credence to the Beyonce rumor by citing anonymous sources – also known as DNC or Kamala campaign staffers – who claimed it was happening.

Self-proclaimed “journalists” at major media outlets helped promote the rumor, which gave it credibility and likely drew viewers to watch Kamala’s speech who otherwise wouldn’t have tuned in.

Kelly took aim at MSNBC’s Katie Phang for acting like a fangirl about the possibility of Beyonce showing up.

“Katie Phang over at MSNBC, absolutely humiliated herself with these moment to moment updates… she just deleted them,” Kelly said. “She’s deleted her tweets out of humiliation… All I could think is the girl at the high school prom, like ‘He’s still coming. He’ll be here. I see a headlight.’ No, she’s not coming.”

Democrats used talk show host Oprah Winfrey as a surprise guest the night before. 

Rumors circulated on social media the next day that pop star Taylor Swift, RINO Mitt Romney, Beyonce, or former President George W. Bush could make a surprise appearance.

Phang reported that attendees at the Democrat National Convention told her that Beyonce was in the building. 

The Hill also claimed to have sources in the Democrat Party who claimed that the hip hop star would show up.

It’s clear that someone in the Kamala camp planted the story because they knew the media would run with it, no questions asked. 

That resulted in the convention getting extra eyeballs on it and for Kamala when she gave her big speech.

Democrats know that they can play the media like a fiddle.
