Beyoncé’s Mom, Tina Knowles, Trolls Trump With Mic-Drop Moment At Harris Rally

Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, trolled GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for his past comments about “Black jobs” during her speech at a Friday rally for Vice President Kamala Harris in Houston.

The fashion designer and philanthropist took the stage ahead of Beyoncé‘s highly anticipated appearance at the event to express her support for Harris’ presidential bid.

Knowles began her speech by celebrating the energy from the massive crowd, saying, “This is what you call Houston proud!”

She then reflected on what it was like raising her children in the Texas city.

“I am honored to be back in Houston tonight, the city where my girls got their voices,” she said.

“I’ve been so blessed in my life to have many careers, many Black jobs. But I have said before, the best job that I’ve ever had is being a mother,” she continued.

Knowles’ “Black jobs” remark was, of course, a jab at Trump. The Republican had stunned observers back in June when he referred to “Black jobs” during a debate against President Joe Biden, who had been his party’s presumptive 2024 nominee for the White House before Harris took his place atop the Democrat ticket.

At that debate, Trump was taking aim at Biden’s border policies, claiming, without evidence, that “millions of people” crossing into the U.S. are taking “Black jobs” and “Hispanic jobs.”

The Republican’s remarks were widely ridiculed, fueling countless memes and jokes on social media about what a “Black job” might be.

“I asked myself, did I get the job because I was Black, or was it a Black Job?” someone joked at the time on X, formerly Twitter.

Beyoncé and fellow Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland later appeared onstage at Friday’s rally.

The two delivered moving speeches declaring their support for Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

“I’m not here as a celebrity. I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother,” Beyoncé said onstage, later adding, “For all the men and women in this room, and watching around the country, we need you.”
