Tearful Black MAGA influencer allegedly kicked out of Ken Paxton event: ‘You know how hard I worked for this party?!’

I have volunteered for President Trump's campaign..."

Texas MAGA influencer @iamthelmalouise has been steadfast in her support for Donald Trump, the MAGA movement, and the Republican Party. They’re lucky to have her, as with hundreds of followers and millions of likes, she’s been out there campaigning and promoting their message for two years as a converted former Democrat.

So, naturally, she drove two hours to a Ken Paxton event to cover it on social media and show her support. Then, to her visible surprise, she was kicked out of the event by Paxton’s campaign manager.

Why would they do this to such a stalwart MAGA supporter? Well, I’ll let you come to your own conclusions on that.

“I really can’t believe this right now”

The visibly stunned influencer posted the video of herself being escorted from the venue. In a bewildered tone, she asked the man leading her out, “and there’s no-one I can talk to about this?” Once outside, she said, “Oh my gosh. I cannot believe this. Someone just came up to me and said that Ken Paxton’s campaign manager wanted me to leave. I am just… my mouth is wide open right now. I really can’t believe this right now.”

The video then cuts to the interior of her car, where she goes over what just happened. “So, I was just asked to leave this event and I did nothing wrong. I was told that Ken Paxton’s campaign manager didn’t want me here. I’m not making any of this up! I drove two hours to get here. And I have done nothing but support everyone on the Republican side and this is how I get treated?”

In a separate video, she cries and says. “I cannot believe the disrespect I was just given. I left the Democratic Party two years ago. I have volunteered for President Trump’s campaign and I have worked very hard promoting members of the Republican Party. I’m not quite sure what’s going on but to be walked out of a roomful of people and isolated as if I’ve done something wrong? I can’t believe it. That you would do me like that. You know how hard I’ve worked for this party since I joined it.”

The replies were less than sympathetic, with the top-voted comment simply asking, “What did you learn from all of this?” That question was answered for her, “She really thought she was one of them!!! They chew you up and spit you out!!!” Another said, “When you realize you are on their side but they will never be on yours…”

Even other self-described Republicans aren’t happy: “you need to find out why don’t take that s— you need an answer get an answer girl we want you here I’m a Republican please something’s not right about this please don’t stop try to find out what the hell’s going on.” As of writing, the Paxton campaign has not responded to the video or offered an explanation for why she was asked to leave.
