Three hours before polls closed in Texas, Beyoncé endorsed Texas Democrat Beto O'Rourke for Senate.
Thank you, Beyoncé!
And while some felt her endorsement came a little late, they were still happy to see the famous Texas native show up.
well, you heard her!! let's go texas!! vote @BetoORourke!! time to make @beyonce proud!!
For the first time in history a surprise drop from Beyoncé was poorly timed. https://t.co/jWyOnXGrr5
That is until O'Rourke lost, and some alluded to Beyoncé's late showing of support as a factor.
Beyonce should have posted the Beto hat a week ago..
Personally, I blame Beyoncé. Sis didn’t reveal her endorsement of Beto until the day of the election. Like sis... REALLY SIS https://t.co/6yjlLFyILq
Which really is not going over well.
blaming Beyoncé on Twitter but too afraid to confront your racist aunt at Thanksgiving smh that's sad
Beto did not lose because of Beyoncé. Log out and put your phone down. Thanks. Goodnight.
Especially since a graphic of CNN's still-developing exit poll is reporting well over half of white women voters in Texas voted for Cruz.
Who is organizing the white women? Because, sheesh.
So many feel it is out of place to blame a black woman over all those white voters.
it’s not Beyoncé’s fault Beto lost, we know who she voted for. if you wanna blame someone, blame white people who continue to vote for republicans bc they don’t care about the lives they’re putting at stake by voting for bigots. https://t.co/XsBzBPhbdZ
apparently 59% of white women in Texas voted for Ted Cruz and white people are on here talking about what Beyoncé should have done differently...just....talk to your relatives.
95% of black women voted for Beto over Cruz. Now is not the time for white men to be blaming black women for Beto’s loss. Maybe let’s talk about how white men and women voted overWHELMINGly for Cruz? You’ve done awesome work, but this is not the move https://t.co/YOvsLptC5v
Beyoncé is not the first celebrity taking some blame for the defeat of the candidate they endorsed.
