Stedman Graham misheard question about Oprah running and DIDN'T mean she 'would absolutely' go for the White House, claims best friend Gayle King

When Oprah Winfrey's longtime partner Stedman Graham said she 'would absolutly' seek the White House if prompted, he misheard the question

Gayle King, Winfrey's best friend, explained on CBS This Morning that Graham told her he thought the reporter asked him if she would make a good president

Graham's comments added fuel to the fire that Winfrey might launch a presidential bid in 2020 to take on President Trump, another entertainer

On CBS This Morning, King said Winfrey is 'intrigued' by the idea of a presidential run, but is not 'actively considering' it

'I also know that after years of watching the Oprah show, you always have the right to change your mind,' King said

When Oprah Winfrey's partner Stedman Graham said she 'would absolutely' run for the White House if prompted by the people, he misheard the question, Winfrey's best friend Gayle King said.

'Stedman says he thought the reporter said to him, "Would she make a good president?" and he said absolutely she would,' King said Tuesday on the show she co-hosts, CBS This Morning. 'That's how he interpreted the question.'

King described Graham as being 'nothing but supportive,' adding, 'he would never throw it out there like that.' 'Because this is the thing, Stedman would never so cavalierly say, "Absolutely, she would do it. It's up to the people." King's co-host Norah O'Donnell wasn't exactly buying it, pointing to the fact that Graham indeed told the Los Angeles Times, 'She would absolutely do it.'

'I'm telling you his interpretation of the question was ... he thought the reporter was saying would she be a good president,' King said.

Go ahead Oprah, ya feelin’ lucky? Go ahead, run for President....

When the press gets done with you, you will think a trip to the Proctologist was less invasive.

The press will get in line to look where the sun don’t shine......freedom of the press, remember?

I have some personal knowledge of Oprah here. From years ago when Oprah decided to run the Marine Corps Marathon. Talk about self-centered, demanding and short tempered.....

Trump has nothing on you for petulance and rudeness.

In her case, it would be more of a rapid waddle.

Oprah doesn't look very healthy - let's see her medical records.

EQuivocation is not a leadership quality but, do run anyway....

Victims claim Oprah Winfrey would help secure fresh meat to satisfy Harvey Weinsteins sexual perversions.

I would like to know what Stedman “the beard” knows about the work Oprah performed for pervert Harvey, and did Stedman procure any aspiring starlets for pervert Harvey Weinstein.

During the Teapot Dome trials, Senator Albert Fall was accused of accepting a bribe of a hundred thousand dollars. He said they misheard. What it was was a hundred cows and horses.
