Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to accuse Democrats of making substantial payments to secure celebrity endorsements for Vice President Kamala Harris, specifically targeting MSNBC personality Al Sharpton in his criticism.

In his social media post, Trump questioned the legality of alleged payments, writing “Are the Democrats allowed to pay $11,000,000, $2,000,000, and $500,000 to get the ENDORSEMENT of Beyoncé, Oprah, and Reverend Al?”

“I don’t think so! Beyoncé didn’t sing, Oprah didn’t do much of anything (she called it “expenses”), and Al is just a third rate Con Man. So what is going on here???” Trump continued.

He concluded his post by stating, “Totally against the law, and I have heard there are many others!!!”

The source of Trump’s specific payment figures remains uncertain. Both Beyoncé and Oprah Winfrey had previously shown their support for Harris during her presidential campaign trail appearances.

Sharpton, who serves as both a civil rights activist and host of MSNBC’s “Politics Nation,” conducted an interview with Harris in October and organized a voter mobilization event supporting her candidacy.

Documentation revealed that Sharpton’s National Action Network organization received $500,000 from Harris shortly before their interview, according to the Washington Free Beacon. When contacted about the matter, MSNBC stated they had no knowledge of any donation, while Sharpton’s representatives were unavailable for comment.

Regarding the allegations, Winfrey has defended her involvement, stating she received no direct payment from Harris’s campaign. Instead, her company Harpo Productions earned $1 million for producing the “Unite for America” virtual town hall in September.

Financial records indicate that Harris’s campaign transferred $165,000 to Beyoncé’s Parkwood Production Media in November, following their joint appearance at a Houston event the previous month.
