🚨 Fetterman Drops a Bomb on Oprah:
X ^ | 03/31/2026 | GRANDPA'S FREE ADVICE

🚨 Fetterman Drops a Bomb on Oprah:

Senator John Fetterman just exposed how Oprah Winfrey allegedly tried to buy his vote on the “Big Beautiful Bill.”

“She had her assistant approach me and offer me $20 million to vote against the bill,” Fetterman told the Senate Oversight Committee.

“I told her that’s not how our country works.”

He immediately informed Democrat leadership.

Their response?

“They swept it under the rug.”

A Democrat senator turning down $20M from one of the most powerful liberals in America — and his own party buried it.

Integrity over cash.

Rare sight in DC.

What do you think — real stand or political theater? 👇 #Fetterman #Oprah #BigBeautifulBill

If this is true (and I certainly think it could be), it's illegal, right?

If Fetterman can document it, nail Oprah's ass to the wall.

Grok:

It was posted on March 31, 2026 (the day before April Fools’ Day), which fits the pattern of seasonal hoax content. Multiple replies to the original post already called it out as fake or an April Fools joke.
Bottom line: This is satirical/fake content designed to go viral. It’s not a real scandal or event.

I suspect Oprah has bought democrats before - it’s unlikely this was her first attempt at being a low life jerk...

Although this remains fictional and in the satirical column (I wonder) …. How many congresscritters, supremes and executives are and do count bribery as a to be “swept under the rug” offense???

5%, 10%, 20% …….?

Maybe a joke but why with Fetterman?
She is a crook.

Why $20 million? How did she arrive at that number?
Who told her to bribe Fetterman

I remember that a few years ago that a bank in northern California failed and Oprah had something like $600 million in it. That bank was bailed out in full instead of pennies on the dollar. Why in a bank she lives no where near and not paying interest. Treasury bills would have paid far more. Silicon Valley Bank is the California-based institution that failed in March 2023.

News: Did everyone get their money back from Silicon Valley Bank?
About 89 percent of the bank’s $172 billion in deposit liabilities exceeded the maximum insured by the FDIC. Two days after the failure, the FDIC received exceptional authority from the Treasury and announced jointly with other agencies that all depositors would have full access to their funds the next morning.

I bet that money was being used by the democrat party for money laundering and bribing people.

News headlines:
Oprah stands to lose $590 million after collapse of SVB.

In 2012, it was reported that her television network, OWN, had lost over $330 million since its inception.

In 2019, Winfrey lost over $39 million in a single day after Weight Watchers stock plummeted. In 2016, she lost an estimated $117 million when the stock crashed.

Oprah Winfrey has been ordered to return $22 million she took from FEMA to rebuild her mansion after the Maui fires.

That’s nearly the entirety of politics. “I’ll give you money if you vote my way.” It’s just that some people have more money than others.

Total BS. If they would have used 20k instead of 20m then it may have been more believable. Even Oprah wouldn’t blow that much for a vote.

I personally believe it. And to make it worse, how often has it taken place previously and who DIDN'T decline?

You can bet she is not the only one doing this!

This needs to be pursued.

“Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; and

Whoever solicits, accepts, or receives any such expenditure in consideration of his vote or the withholding of his vote—

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 721; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(H), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147; Pub. L. 104–294, title VI, § 601(a)(12), Oct. 11, 1996, 110 Stat. 3498.)”

Sorry but this is an April Fools joke.

It says “EVERYTHING on this page is FICTION” at the bottom right corner.

LOL there is going to be a lot of this today.

It is not true. Look at the graphic in the lower right corner of the image.
