Well, this is awkward.
After Federal Election Commission filings showed that the Harris-Walz campaign paid a cool million to Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Productions company for the town hall where Oprah endorsed Harris, Oprah denied it.
Caught on a backstreet by one of those TMZ video crews and asked if it was true that "they paid you a million dollars for the endorsement for Kamala," Oprah replied, "Not true. I was paid nothing, ever."
“The campaign paid for the production costs of ‘Unite for America,’ a live-streaming event that took place Sept. 19 outside Detroit, Mich.,” a spokesperson for Harpo said, trying to clear things up. “Oprah Winfrey was at no point during the campaign paid a personal fee, nor did she receive a fee from Harpo.”
Technically, that's the truth. But only technically.
It was Winfrey's production company that received the seven-figure check. But Harpo is owned by Winfrey. For all intents and purposes, Harpo IS Oprah.
The FEC paperwork shows that Harpo was paid for "EVENT PRODUCTION," not for Winfrey's endorsement. But does 94 minutes of unscripted, live television, produced on a small set, really cost a million dollars to produce? Or was Oprah's "personal fee" just part of the overhead?
“ As a legal matter," the Federalist's Sean Davis asked on Monday, "how are secret bought-and-paid-for endorsements even legal? If you can’t run a paid ad without a clear disclosure, how on earth can you run a paid endorsement without disclosure?"
Maybe that's something the Trump DOJ should look into. But right here, right now, we can look into where the money went.
Github user Gaiaus uploaded the Harris campaign's official FEC spending filing last week for all to see, and it showed a last-minute, pop-up campaign that very quickly ramped up into a spending behemoth.

Opery is a repulsive lying mountebank.
Maybe Bidens 87,000 extra IRS agents can help the Harris campaign find it.
FWIW...Harris did not know the financial status of the campaign.
Watters Primetime recounted the story of a staffer:
Harris was on teleprompter begging for money. “We’re out of money...send donations....”blah, blah, blah...
Harris stopped the recording and said...”We can’t lie to them..we’ve got plenty of money.”
An aide popped in; “No, donations have dried up, we do need money”
(paraphrased)
No one had the nerve to tell her.
Isn’t this what Bragg charged trump with? Mislabeling checks? Looks like the Harris campaign has committed a felony.
$00.000,000,1 is a million dollars, backwards. I hope that’s what Harpo got.
Of course she did not get a penny.
Her corporation did.
“Spelled backwards, just like her thinking.”
Spot-on. Her thinking (or what subs as it), and the entire Marxist cabal’s “thinking”. Many of these cretins are fabulously wealthy. They have gained ‘the world’ with their lies and their deeds. But look what have they lost. They won’t pay the price until they die, but what a price to pay.
It’s becoming apparent that vendors lined up to bilk her campaign. Hell, she had a billion...let’s get some for us.
Consultants, pollsters, TV time, Oprah & other celebrity endorsements & concerts, 1/2 M for the Las Vegas Sphere, paid audiences and transport to get them there...
Capitalism in America got a big shot in the arm with this one.
OPRAH DIDN’T RECEIVE THE CHECK, BUT I BET THAT HARPO DID!!!
Her name is Rita Ora.
You know what? I believe her. I believe that with all of the low life scumbags Comrade Harris surrendered herself with there is a great likelihood that one of them stole the money attributed to Winfrey and was too stupid to understand FEC reports.
Word Games! “SHE was never paid”, but her COMPANY was.
” According to Wikipedia Oprah Winfrey is the sole owner.”
Thank you. If Oprah is the sole owner of Harpo, then it’s disingenuous for her to say that she wasn’t paid. If my dentist operates as a corporation (which he does), and he gives me a couple fillings, and I pay $500 to his corporation, would he be telling the truth if he went around saying that he was never paid for my dental work? Oh, hell no...
0prah-cozy with Diddy.
Tell me what kind of woman has a magazine entitled Oprah and has her photo on every cover? Cult? Narcissism? What?
Oprah is A Liar. They have receipts to prove it.
Looks a lot like Orca is pimping the bleach-blonde to Swinestein ...
Hmmm...I saw something much cozier 😉
