Oprah fires back at racist robocall: 'Jesus don't like ugly'

Oprah Winfrey on Monday responded to a white supremacist group targeting her and Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams in a robocall to voters.

“Jesus don’t like ugly,” she said of the robocall in an Instagram video.

“I heard people were making racist robocalls in my name against Stacey Abrams, who I am one hundred percent for, in Georgia,” Winfrey says. “I just want to say: Jesus don’t like ugly … And we know what to do about that: vote. Tomorrow show up and show out, and vote.”

The robocall, apparently funded by TheRoadToPower.com, was sent to voters last week after the legendary talk-show host stumped for the Democratic candidate and knocked on voters’ doors in Georgia.

The group, which the Anti-Defamation League has labeled white supremacist and anti-Semitic, also targeted Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum.

"This is the magical negro, Oprah Winfrey, asking you to make my fellow negress, Stacey Abrams, the governor of Georgia," a voice impersonating Winfrey says in the call.

"Years ago, the Jews who own the American media saw something in me - the ability to trick dumb white women into thinking I was like them," the voice continues. "I see that same potential in Stacey Abrams.”

Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, Abrams’s GOP opponent, denounced the robocall as “vile,” “racist” and “absolutely disgusting.”

Abrams and Kemp are engaged in a tough battle to be Georgia's next governor, in a race that has been mired by accusations of voter suppression.

Good heavens.

The Road to Power sounds like a group from central casting.

It's like someone at the ADL wrote the script for them.

Every inflammatory word and phrase packed into a robocall.

Racism against white men is acceptable.

False flag with every dog whistle in the racial playbook.

Don’t believe a word of it.

I’m sorry, there is no political trick so low and knavish
that the rats won’t use it.

Another ploy to get out the black vote.
That’s all this is.

It's just too perfect.

And the timing. The night before the election. No time to investigate the validity of the call or the group.

I don't like to believe conspiracy theories but this just screams hoax by a front group.

The more the blacks make an issue of race the more they actually invite people to become racist. But then one would begin to think they want to remain victims....even if of their own doing.

This has all the earmarks of a false flag operation by the dems to game simpleton voters. Have I mentioned lately that I hate them?

Dear fat, ugly, stupid, dumb-ox Oprah Winfrey! Please take refresher, remedial English grammar classes. To whit: “Jesus DOESN’T like ugly.”

That’s her Georgia language, kinda like Hillary’s fake Southern accent. And Obama does the same annoying thing, droppin’ his “g”s and such.

I can’t imagine Oprah using black down talk at a $50,000.00 per plate fund raiser in New York City, wonder why she feels the need to do it when she is going for votes? I don’t see much difference in downtalk and blackface.

Ok she’s from mississippi and that’s a very common saying there. VERY.

I cant stand her.... but whatever she is she isn’t a fake southerner.
Can we calm down a bit.? Oprah has actually been one of most decent celebs promoting libs. She did take the bait to bash Trump with smears and lies and he didn’t take the bait to light into her. He was very kind about her.

“Jesus don’t like ugly”
One of the richest, but certainly not
one of the most educated.

I don’t believe this at all.Oprah doesn’t answer calls her lackeys do.
She must have a phone but I’m sure
She pays for special services.
