A Black pro-Trump influencer says she was removed from a Ken Paxton campaign rally in Texas on Sunday without explanation.
Thelma Louise, who runs a large TikTok account focused on conservative and pro-Trump content, was documenting the event when she said an aide told her Paxton’s campaign manager wanted her to leave.

“I was just asked to leave this event, and I did nothing wrong,” Louise said in a video. She added that she had driven two hours to attend and had previously volunteered for Trump’s campaign and promoted Republican candidates.
Louise said she did not blame the Republican Party, noting that she had generally felt welcomed by conservatives, but held Paxton’s campaign manager responsible for what she called disrespectful treatment.
Some social media users speculated that her race may have played a role in the unexplained removal, while others criticized the incident as an example of the challenges faced by Black conservatives.
Louise said she did not know why she had been asked to leave and questioned whether she may have been mistaken for someone else. The Paxton campaign has not publicly explained the decision.
