Trump Blasts Kamala and the Celebrities Her Campaign Paid, Says 'They Should All Be Prosecuted!'

As Kamala Harris’ campaign for the presidency continued to sink into failure and ineptitude in the fall of 2024, numerous intellectually-challenged celebrities and musicians alienated some of their fans by plugging for the VP and trashing Trump. Those jumping aboard the flailing Harris train included Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, an unhinged Robert De Niro, Taylor Swift, George Clooney, and so many more folks who are (sometimes) good at performing but not nearly so much so at thinking.

Meanwhile, a whole lot of money changed hands. Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé, the very Rev. Al Sharpton, and others were among those who took home sweet paydays just for showing up. They claimed these payouts were for “production costs” and expenses, but boy oh boy, some of those preparations sound awfully expensive. It seemed gross and outlandish at the time, even by political standards.

Oh, and Beyoncé didn’t even sing.

Donald Trump noticed, and on Saturday evening, he said on social media that Kamala Harris violated campaign finance laws and should be held accountable:

“YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT,” he wrote. “IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO.”

Here is the post in its entirety:

I'm looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election, and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!), Three Million Dollars for “expenses,” to Oprah, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars to very low rated TV “anchor,” Al Sharpton (a total lightweight!), and others to be named for doing, absolutely NOTHING! These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO. Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out! Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Kamala's Rally Was a Huge Dud: Beyonce Doesn't Sing, Harris Repeatedly Heckled

Some of the celebrities and the Harris campaign itself vigorously dispute the numbers being bandied about, but here’s what Fox News’ Harris Faulkner said in November ’24:

FAULKNER: Let's go over these numbers. $10 million for Beyonce to step up and back Kamala Harris publicly. $5 million for Megan thee Stallion. $3 million for Lizzo. $1.8 million for Eminem. I mean, is that normally how it goes? You spend $20 million. You get yourself in debt to try to get a bunch of celebrities on stage. I've never seen that. Maybe I'm ignorant of the fact, but wow.

The Federal Election Commission does not show any filings that indicate Beyonce got $10-11 million. However, the campaign did make a $165,000 payment to the singer’s company for "campaign event production.” I’m not sure why you need $165K in event production funds when all she did was walk out and make a quick speech. Meanwhile, that doesn't explain a lot of the other payments.

Trump has cried foul on this issue before, and it’s not clear if he really intends to do anything about it or if he’s just keeping his opponents—even his defeated ones—on the ropes. What’s been abundantly clear for years, however, is that Hollywood has been an ATM for the DNC and, due to its massive fundraising capacity, has managed to push its values on America at an alarmingly successful pace.

This time around, however, even with the endorsement of seemingly every Tinseltown star and a wasted $1 billion campaign war chest, the Democrats still went down in defeat.

Take note, overpaid woke celebs, your influence is on the wane.

So many Hollywood "stars" seem to have gone off the deep end and devoted themselves to far-left causes that regular Americans have no interest in.
