WEST ALLIS, WISCONSIN: Cardi B took the stage at a Kamala Harris rally at the Wisconsin State Fair Park Exposition Center on Friday, November 1, night but she awkwardly paused as a broken teleprompter delayed her passionate endorsement.

Following Cardi B's embarrassing moment at the Harris' endorsement rally, social media users began to ridicule the 'WAP' singer for taking the help of a "carefully crafted endorsement statement" to deliver a speech.

In her remarks, Cardi praised Harris for standing up for women and addressed the Republican nominee Donald Trump while giving him a new nickname as well.

Cardi B waits awkwardly as teleprompter issues delay her endorsement speech

The crowd in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, shouted enthusiastically as the famous female rapper, dressed in white, reached the stage and immediately paused. "One second guys. One second!" she exclaimed as the audience applauded.

After taking off her white gloves, Cardi tried to talk but eventually stopped when the teleprompter screen went dark. "OK. So I don't take lightly the call," she said, then paused.

"I'm sorry guys, I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous guys, I've been waiting for this moment this whole life, my whole life," she said.

Cardi went on to say, "I need patience over here, patience where are you girl? I need patience over here! Are we ready to make history?"



 

Cardi pondered for about 90 seconds before an assistant hurried onstage to hand her a cellphone with what appeared to be her prepared statements shown on the screen.

"Now I took my time writing my speech, so I wanted to make sure I delivered it right," she said. Cardi B read aloud from her phone speech after rapidly regaining her confidence.

Cardi B declared that she had no intention of endorsing anyone in the 2024 election, but she changed her mind after Harris entered the contest, per Daily Mail.

Cardi B calls Trump 'Donny Dump' while praising Kamala Harris

Cardi B attacked Donald Trump as a "hustler" who has a "plan to hustle you" and warned that he does not "believe women deserve rights" while praising Kamala Harris for supporting women relating to being an underdog.

She praised Harris for "standing up" to bullies, saying, "Just like Kamala Harris I too have been the underdog, I've been underestimated, my success belittled, and discredited."

"Women have to work ten times harder, perform ten times better and still people question us how we got to the top!" she added.

The rapper said, "She [Kamala Harris] changed my mind completely. I did not have faith in any candidate until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear, that I wanted to see next in this country."

Cardi went on to blast Trump and said, "Donny Dump, if your definition of protection is making sure our daughters have fewer rights than their mothers, then I don’t want it," per Just Jared.



 

She went over some of Harris' policy recommendations, such as her intentions to double the child tax credit, provide $25,000 in down payment aid, and cut down on grocery price gouging.

Cardi B's 10-minute address included a section on one of Trump's remarks from earlier this week, where he said he would defend women "whether they like it or not," per Deadline.

Cardi B trolled for delivering 'fake, staged and controlled' rally speech

Internet users took to X (formerly Twitter) to slam the 'WAP' singer for being unable to deliver an endorsement speech without the help of a teleprompter as one user slammed her by saying, "Fake, staged and controlled."

A second user wrote, "LMAO Cardi B's teleprompter was broken and she had no idea what to do for over a minute until someone ran on the stage to give her a phone to read off. Holy embarrassing."

"This is hard to watch. Cardi B held up the crowd at Kamala’s rally in Milwaukee for a full two minutes, awaiting her assistant after realizing she had forgotten to bring a carefully crafted endorsement statement to the stage. There is nothing authentic about these celebrity endorsements for Kamala—everything is staged," wrote another user.

One added, "Cardi B is a product of a fake world where talent doesn't matter. If you can't even talk without a teleprompter, you're just another puppet".



 



 



 



 

The online trolling continued as one said, "Cardi B’s speech wasn’t loaded into the teleprompter so she oddly stammers for ninety seconds until someone runs her phone out to her! This is just hilarious! So clearly, Cardi has no idea what she’s even endorsing Kamala for…"

"Cardi B's teleprompter broke, and she didn't know what to do for over a minute until someone ran on the stage and gave her a phone to read off. It's so embarrassing," another added.

One wrote, "If Trump hired a hacker to attack the Kamala teleprompters, honestly, that would be both hilarious and genius at the same time. I love that Trump and his people don’t need any teleprompters. TRUMP FTW".

Another added, "It seems to be divine intervention, or someone purposely breaks the teleprompter at @KamalaHarris’ rallies. Whatever it may be, it shows the reality of these people who are false in morals and values."
