Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, October 20, 2026

A Black MAGA influencer who says she has spent two years supporting President Donald Trump and other Republicans was left stunned after allegedly being kicked out of a campaign rally for Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton on Sunday, declaring, "I cannot believe this." The influencer, who goes by Thelma Louise on TikTok, has amassed more than 204,000 followers on the platform, where she regularly posts pro-Trump and Republican content. Her videos include one celebrating the "baddest queens" helping to "flip it red" and another saying she was "so proud" of fellow MAGA influencer Nick Shirley. She also documented her attendance at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas in September. Louise documented her arrival at the Sunday Paxton rally in San Antonio, telling viewers, "Of course I had to drive down."

Just shortly after that video, though, she was out with a new post with on-screen text that read, "I was asked to leave ... I'm a REPUBLICAN that has done nothing but support my party," and a caption that said, "I can't believe I was treated like this ... They were even told not to allow me back inside."

The video showed Louise looking shocked as she was escorted out of the building, questioning someone off-camera, "And there's no one I can talk to about this?"

"I'm sorry. No, ma'am," that person responded.

Once outside, Louise explained what she said had happened.

"Someone just came up to me and said that Ken Paxton's campaign manager wanted me to leave," she said, insisting, "I did nothing wrong."

... "I'm sorry. No, ma'am," that person responded. ...

So at least that person was polite towards her.

If she'd planned her life better she wouldn't be Black.

I mean, that's why she got thrown out, right?
