Trump bashes Oprah over Harris event during late night meltdown

Donald Trump went after Oprah Winfrey late Saturday night, suggesting the media mogul was embarrassed during a conversation with Vice President Kamala Harris at a recent live-streamed campaign event.

“As I watched her interview yesterday with a woman who, through her complete and utter incompetence, is destroying America, I couldn’t help but think that this is not the real Oprah,” the GOP nominee wrote on his Truth Social platform.

He continued: “This is not someone who wants millions of people, from prisons and mental institutions, and terrorists, drug dealers and human traffickers, from all over the world, pouring into our country.”

The former president added that his Democratic opponent “looked really foolish” and that the media mogul “just wanted to crawl under a table.”

Trump also falsely claimed earlier in the post that he appeared with his family on the final week of “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”

The former president – ​​​​who made this claim several times over more than a decade – appeared in an episode that aired in February 2011more than three months before the show ended.

Trump’s comments come after Harris spoke with Winfrey on Thursday and discussed several topics at the event, including immigration, abortion, the economy and gun violence.

The event attracted more than 300,000 viewers during the livestream on YouTube, the Associated Press notedand featured appearances from a number of celebrities, including Meryl Streep, Bryan Cranston, Tracee Ellis Ross and Jennifer Lopez.

Trump, in previous comments at a rally in North Carolina on Saturday, he stated that Winfrey “didn’t know what to do” in response to Harris at the event.

“Oprah was embarrassed, she wanted to hide under the table, but she’s a professional and she was able to sort of hide it. No, she wanted to go straight under the table,” he told his supporters.

Winfrey, who endorsed Harris and spoke at the Democratic National Convention last month, called on “all decent people” and “caring people” to respond to the moment near the end of the event with Harris.

“This is the time when people are fed up with all the bickering and name-calling, people who are exhausted by the madness, the fabricated stories and the conspiracies,” she said.

“This is the moment. You want to move on with your life because you know we can do better and we deserve better.”
