Oprah Talks Florida Shooting, Responds to Trump's "Hate Tweet" Against Her
Hollywood Reporter ^ | February 22, 2018 | Lexy Perez

Posted on 02/22/2018 9:35:28 AM PST by EdnaMode

In her latest appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday, Oprah Winfrey opened up about her hefty donation to the March for Our Lives movement and responded to the president’s "hate tweet" against her.

Following the tragic deadly school shooting in Parkland, Fla. Winfrey announced that she would be following George and Amal Clooney, Jeffrey and Marilyn Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw and making a $500,000 donation to support the March for Our Lives demonstration in which students “will take to the streets of Washington, D.C. to demand that their lives and safety become a priority” and that gun violence and mass shootings cease.

“George and Amal, I couldn’t agree with you more. I am joining forces with you and will match your $500,000 donation to ‘March For Our Lives.’ These inspiring young people remind me of the Freedom Riders of the 60s who also said we’ve had ENOUGH and our voices will be heard," Winfrey wrote on Twitter on Tuesday.

Oprah is a Phony. There was nothing hateful about Trump's tweet.

She’s in with Soro’s, rubbing elbows and such.

Antifa and lemming students think Trump is a Nazi... Yet they’re okay with gun grabs? Confused fools one & all.

Leftards continually allege “hate” in everything they disagree with.... yet they are usually the ones seething and frothing with hate all the time.

It is pure PROJECTION.

It was the consensus among those of us who worked with Oprah in the newsroom that her biggest regret in her still-young life was that she wasn’t born white. That chip on her shoulder will still be attached in her casket.

I hadn’t heard about it. I had to go look at it. It seemed completely on target. Dismissive of her perhaps, which is apprpriate, but...hateful?

I read a few of the comments below it but...it reminded me why I don’t do any social media in any form.

One can read those responses and by reading them, feel your IQ being forced into a smaller and smaller part of your brain. It is like reading comments at YouTube, which I stopped even looking at many years ago.

If you’re weak enough to get upset over a “hate Tweet”, then you aren’t strong enough to be President.

Donald started talking trash about Oprah a few days ago.
This dialog was suddenly interrupted by the shooting in Florida.
I guess the ‘Sabers’ are rattling once again.
I still see nothing positive that the President will get from poking Oprah’s minions with a sharp rhetorical stick. But that’s just me. Stay tuned.

Lumping her in with the other losers is not a hate tweet.

If Opry wants to see hate, she need only watch the nightly news. And if once again she can’t identify the liberal hate, then she’s plain stupid or doesn’t want to admit it.

“hate tweet” and she reels off the accusation of twenty women who have accused Trump of sexual impropriety?

She is a phony, but I have never been able to say who is the greater phony, her or her good friend Hillary.

Boy, are you going to catch some flak with that comment! But I suppose I’ll catch some flak too. Because I agree with you.

Here’s the way I see it. Trump’s comments will win over few new voters. People who don’t like Oprah’s politics are already solid for Trump.

But then there are the blue-dog Democrats. Those folks went for Trump in 2016. And many of them think Oprah is just dandy. Trump’s remark will push them just a bit further into the D camp come 2020.

I wouldn’t be stirring up a fuss if Trump had won by a landslide in 2016. But he didn’t. If 100,000 votes nationwide had gone the other way...disaster.

She’s always the victim. She needs to take a stand and pull all of her security.

Is the Oprah Bull Moose still advertising for Weight Watchers? Can’t believe that any one of their members would take Oprah seriously after all the surgical “repair” jobs she’s had to lighten her load.

Fat-a$$ed oprah controls the minds of millions of air-brained women. If she says something, it must be true and the neuron-challenged viewers immediately believe it and act on it.

So gun violence is about the tool used to commit violence.

Unless it's a cop. Then it's about the person using the tool.

These people are beyond ridiculous.
