No, it was 2000.
Has not?
You're muted, Don.
I found that this claim about an $11 million payment is imaginary.
This simply did not happen.
There is not one shred of evidence that the Harris campaign or any other Democrat paid Beyonce anything like $11 million for an endorsement.
Now, this claim began circulating among random Trump supporters on social media last year.
It's been repeatedly investigated by fact check outlets
No one has produced any support for it.
The White House did not comment when I reached out this time.
Now, federal election spending records do show that the Harris campaign made a $165,000 payment to Beyonce's production company after this event you're seeing where Beyonce endorsed then Vice President Harris at an event in Houston in October 2024.
But two things about that.
First of all, there's no evidence that this was payment for an endorsement.
The Harris campaign said that they are obligated by law to cover the ancillary costs related to celebrity appearances when celebrities come to their events.
And second of all, one hundred and sixty five thousand is a far cry from eleven million.
That figure just seems to have been fabricated, invented out of thin air.
So I reached out to the Harris campaign about this.
They pointed me to a post last year from Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles, who posted that it was a lie and noted that it had been taken down as false information by Instagram at the time.
Beyonce's own spokesperson told PolitiFact in November 2024 that this claim is, quote, beyond ridiculous.
Now, again, I did reach out to the White House about this to ask where the president got this claim, not only that there was an $11 million payment, but that Democrats admit that there was.
