What does Oprah represent? Fake science, hucksters and greed

Have we learned nothing?

One speech at the Golden Globes — admittedly a barn-burner — and here comes the drumbeat for a billionaire celebrity with no governing experience to run for president.

“I’m on the bus with Oprah,” Jimmy Kimmel said.

“I want her to run for president,” said Meryl Streep.

“She’s running,” tweeted former “Hamilton” star Leslie Odom Jr. “A new day is on the way.”

Even a major network endorsed her. “Nothing but respect for OUR future president,” read a tweet on NBC’s verified account (since deleted).

Oprah, who until Sunday night insisted she would never run for president — “I will never run for public office,” she told The Hollywood Reporter in October — is apparently having second thoughts.

“It’s up to the people,’” her partner, Stedman Graham, told the LA Times. “She would absolutely do it.”

She should absolutely not.

She wants all old white people killed. What about old black people? This tells you a lot about her. It would be your election to lose if you vote for her. (map)

Why are awards shows used as a podium anyway.This crap is carrying over to box office receipts and destroying the movie business.If you're a young person you'll see the day when walk in theaters no longer exist.Fiascos such as the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars will expedite the process.

If she were white, no one would ever know her name.

I thought she represented any advertised diet that called on her. Oprah is on the fat bus Kimmel, you need the short bus.

One can argue, based on the assertions of the article, that Oprah represents laissez faire caveat emptor capitalism.

This article makes the case that Oprah is a capitalist. In America. Go figure.

Oprah is an Obama fan and a Democtat hypocrit who would put back in place many of the failed policies of Obama. The most dangerous thing is that whoever wins the 2020 election will with out a doubt be able to sppoint atleast one and possibly more judges to the supreme court. If the court is stacked with liberals the constitution will become meaningless.
