President Donald Trump blasted a handful of celebrities and his former rival Kamal Harris in a collection of late night time statements claiming “illegal” contributions throughout the 2024 marketing campaign.
In keeping with the forty seventh President, he’s “going to call for a major investigation” into the celebs and celebrities that boosted Harris’ marketing campaign, together with Bruce Springsteen, Oprah Winfrey and Beyonce, as a result of, as he sees it, the endorsements symbolize unlawful marketing campaign contributions.
“How much did Kamala Harris pay Bruce Springsteen for his poor performance during her campaign for president? Why did he accept that money if he is such a fan of hers? Isn’t that a major and illegal campaign contribution? What about Beyoncé? …and how much went to Oprah, and Bono???” Trump wrote (in all caps) on his social media platform simply after 1:30 a.m. Monday morning.
Trump stated an investigation is important, as a result of “candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment.”
Harris’ marketing campaign has denied that she paid for the endorsements, and her marketing campaign finance data don’t seem to help Trump’s assertion.
Monetary disclosures do present that Harpo Productions, the corporate owned by Oprah Winfrey, was paid $1 million for manufacturing of a Harris occasion, whereas Beyoncé’s firm Parkwood Manufacturing Media was paid $165,000 for a separate occasion.
Nonetheless, Winfrey has herself denied that she was paid for her endorsement, noting that the staff of her manufacturing firm needed to be paid for the work they did for the occasion the produced, whereas Beyoncé’s publicist instructed PolitiFact — and her mom confirmed — that the singer was not paid for her endorsement of Harris.
Trump isn’t shopping for it, if his social media musings are any information, and it’s not simply Harris that the commander-in-chief is mad at but additionally the celebrities themselves.
“For these unpatriotic ‘entertainers,’ this was just a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL way to capitalize on a broken system,” he stated.
“Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump added. He wasn’t accomplished, although.
“According to news reports, Beyoncé was paid $11,000,000 to walk onto a stage, quickly ENDORSE KAMALA, and walk off to loud booing for never having performed, NOT EVEN ONE SONG,” he wrote.
However monetary disclosures don’t again up Trump’s claims.
“Remember, the Democrats and Kamala illegally paid her millions of Dollars for doing nothing other than giving Kamala a full throated ENDORSEMENT. THIS IS AN ILLEGAL ELECTION SCAM AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL! IT IS AN ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION! BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, OPRAH, BONO AND, PERHAPS, MANY OTHERS, HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO,” the Trump wrote, emphasis his.
Trump’s tirade comes after Springsteen, throughout a latest tour of Europe, paused throughout his present to share his ideas on the administration together with his viewers. The enduring rock musician stated that “my home, America, the America I’ve written about that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration,” citing the administration’s efforts at mass deportation and the arrest of individuals by masked brokers of the federal government.
Trump responded by calling the 20-time Grammy profitable Academy Awardee with two Golden Globes and a Particular Tony Award beneath his belt “Highly Overrated” and a “dried up prune.”
