(TJV) The Harris campaign and mainstream media, including NBC News, HuffPo, Vanity Fair and USA Today, claimed Beyoncé would sing and dance at the rally, which prompted over a million people to sign up to attend.
MSNBC treated it as breaking news when the Harris campaign announced that Beyoncé would appear AND PERFORM at a rally in Texas.
The pop star did appear but only spoke and did not sing.

But Beyoncé instead spoke to the crowd for a couple minutes in support of Kamala. “They lied to build a crowd,” Washington Times columnist Tim Murtaugh pointed out.
They were promised a Beyoncé concert. They got two minutes to hear her speak. Imagine their disappointment. pic.twitter.com/8AFYllP5Eq

The Harris campaign instead rolled out country singer Willie Nelson to perform. The bait-and-switch prompted the large crowd to jeer Kamala when it came time for her to speak.
Harris, forcing a smile, looked like she was having difficulty keeping the outraged crowd under control.
JUST IN: Kamala Harris’ rally in Houston, Texas descends into chaos as she fails to control the rally attendees.
Boos and yelling were heard at the rally as Harris failed to calm down the rowdy crowd.

The Harris campaign is so desperate to portray Kamala as a popular figure that they had to lie to her supporters to bolster rally attendance.
Why did @KamalaHarris @IanSams @NBCNews @HuffPost @USATODAY @VanityFair and countless others tell us we were getting a performance last night in Houston? What went wrong? pic.twitter.com/YGRd7HvhGz
