It seems like the Democrats pulled a con job on their attendees and the media when they teased that there was going to be a “special guest” on the final night of the Democratic National Convention. Vice President Kamala Harris finally accepted the nomination in front of an animated audience, who were also waiting for three possible guests: former President George W. Bush, Taylor Swift, or Beyonce. The rumor mill started when former CNN host Don Lemon dropped this bomb yesterday.
🔥🚨BREAKING NEWS: Don Lemon just announced that his sources told him that George Bush, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift will be at the DNC in Chicago today if they have a special guest. It is worth noting that George Bush hasn’t been to a single RNC for Donald Trump. pic.twitter.com/64qnCy69hQ

The Bush camp dismissed any notion that the former president would address a room full of Democrats. Beyonce’s representatives also said the DNC wasn’t on their schedule and they wouldn’t show up.
The special guest was finally revealed at the end: Kamala Harris. It is safe to assume this fake news was leaked to pack the hall. It was in keeping with the Democrats' 2024 campaign: a clown show built on lies and deceit.
CNN: "There was anticipation here and elsewhere that there may be a special guest. I am told by Democrats that Kamala Harris was their special guest."

Did they tease a big guest just to get more eyes on Kamala’s speech?
