Oprah endorses Hillary Clinton

[sufrommich]

Oprah is all in for Hillary.
"I really believe that is going to happen," Winfrey told Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday regarding Clinton's chances of becoming the first woman to win the presidency. "It's about time that we make that decision."


Clinton's candidacy is a "seminal moment for women" regardless of one's political leanings, the longtime talk-show host and media mogul said at the premiere of the TV series "Greenleaf" set to air on her Oprah Winfrey Network.
"What this says is, there is no ceiling, that ceiling just went boom, you know," Winfrey said. "It says anything is possible when you can be leader of the free world."


Donald Trump floated Winfrey's name as his vice president last June in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, only to tell Fox News' Sean Hannity that the remark was only a "joke" and that the vice presidency was "not for her."

1. Oprah gets a lot of snark, but she has done a lot of good

I don't give a damn that she buys 4K purses and believes her own press: she has given away a huge amount of her money for really good causes, including putting so many kids through college.

She herself broke a HUGE glass ceiling.

Who in the fuck cares about Oprah?

She is an utter loony!

Here's Conan on Oprah.

6. Oprah's under the bus, huh? Was this already or

is she still rolling? Personally, I'm wondering what took her so long. Not exactly courageous timing.

[longship]

7. Oprah is into so much rubbish that she drives the bus.

So-called psychic John Edward? CHECK!
Quack doctor Dr. Oz? CHECK!
Doctor "I was the worst marriage counselor ever" Phil? CHECK!

The best thing she ever could do is give away stinging bees.

She's a loonie!

9. She's not loonie enuf to vote bernie..

[longship]

10. I don't give a damn who she votes for.

She is a loonie.

[stonecutter357]

11. She is not a loonie ,SHE is a successful black WOMAN hated by RWNJ's.

[longship]

18. Yeah! And she supports John Edward.

She's a babbling idiot.

[TheSarcastinator]

20. Oprah gave Jenny McCarthy's anti-vaxx bullshit popular exposure

She's a nut.

[KingFlorez]

15. I think you are confused

The bees video was a joke. If you really think that Oprah unleashed bees on an audience, I don't know what to tell you.

[longship]

16. Apparently you mistake satire for reality.

And Oprah justifiably deserves satire. She is a horrible person.

[Hortensis]

23. I had no idea of all this

right and left wing passion.

I don't watch daytime TV and don't know about bees, or anything else -- wasn't she giving away cars for a while and recommending books to read? But couldn't she at least be just sort of middlin', good in some ways, bad in others, mediocre in yet others? Is she really not even as complex as black and white?

[KingFlorez]

14. You sure sound bitter

Had she endorsed Sanders you would not be saying that. Bitter and sad just like Bernie.

[longship]

17. I don't give a damn who she supports.

She is evil incarnate.

[KingFlorez]

21. Evil incarnate?

I think you are a little extreme.

[obamanut2012]

24. Oh, she is not -- she has done a huge amount of good with her money

She used to be into woo, and that's extremely unfortunate, but she has given away over a billion dollars, BILLION, to worthy causes, including sending a whole lot of kids through college.

[longship]

25. She is still into woo.

And that's her big problem.

[Surya Gayatri]

8. Hill, YEEEESSSSSSSSS!

[NWCorona]

12. She's kinda late to the party. I figured Oprah would have endorsed already.

[Gothmog]

13. K&R

"On the other, we have Winfrey to blame for the rise of the former actor Jenny McCarthy, who opined her theory that vaccinations cause autism in children on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2007 to disastrous effect. McCarthy has since been repeatedly cited as a factor in the return of diseases such as whooping cough in the US.

The past week has served up yet another reminder of Winfrey’s somewhat dismaying talent at promoting the decidedly unworthy. Dr Mehmet Oz, a Turkish-American heart surgeon, first appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2004 and quickly became, along with Phil McGraw (psychology), Rachael Ray (cookery) and Suze Orman (financial advice), part of Winfrey’s team of experts who regularly appeared on the show."
