Oprah Winfrey on Thursday night turned on the TV doctor she propelled to stardom - saying she would vote for Dr Mehmet Oz's rival John Fetterman in their battle to be elected to the Senate.

Oz, a Turkish-American surgeon, and Fetterman, the current lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, are neck-and-neck ahead of next week's election.

Winfrey turned Oz into a household name when she appeared on his show in 2003, and invited him onto hers in 2004. He would go on to make more than 60 appearances on her hugely influential daytime show.

Yet on Thursday, the 68-year-old media mogul said she could not support her former guest.

'At the beginning of the midterm campaigns, I said it was up to citizens to vote for who would represent them,' said Winfrey, addressing a virtual voting town hall.

'If I lived in Pennsylvania, I would have already cast my vote for John Fetterman. 'There are clear choices and some dynamic candidates who are working to represent the values that so many of us hold dear—like inclusion, compassion and community.

'So, I ask that voters use discernment and choose wisely for the democracy of our country.'

Fetterman was overjoyed at the news, tweeting in response a heart emoji and saying: 'WELCOME TO #TEAMFETTERMAN, @Oprah!!'

Winfrey's support of Democrats is not a surprise, but her disavowal of Oz will have stung.

The pair first met almost 20 years ago, in 2003, when Oz and his wife Lisa created a medical series called Second Opinion with Dr Oz for the Discovery Channel.

Oprah supports the Democrat Plantation Model for her fellow Blacks. She is a useless shallow selfish shortsighted mega rich limousine liberal who is a danger to the poor and lower middle class people of America.

How is she “turning her back” on Oz?

She doesn’t owe him beans.

What’s more telling is that if you go through her list of endorsements, there’s NO Republicans. None.

Oprah doesn’t give me the impression of studiously going through the candidates in races and making a sober decision on each - she just endorses all the Dems because that’s what she does. I doubt she could do anything else *but* endorse all Dems.

I WILL BET that NOT One person on FR is surprised by this.

Wait until OZ wins by a nice margin & OPRAH wants to ‘interview’ him.

Hearing him say-—not only NO—BUT HELL, NO will be wonderful

YOU GET OUT OF JAIL &

YOU GET OUT OF JAIL &

YOU GET OUT OF JAIL..........

So Oprah turned on her friend Oz - no loyalty.

Anybody endorsing Fetterman has to:
1. hate the USA so much as to endorse the worst candidates and/or
2. be mentally ill.

Yep

Hope people share that as quickly as they can and with as many as possible - especially in Pennsylvania

[subterfuge]

Too bad 10s of thousands already voted right Ofrah?

Orpah Windfree still lives???

Thought she died years ago.

Or was that her magazine?

[Trailerpark Badass]

LOL, whatever happened between her and her “husband?” Sherman, or Chandler, what was that phony actor’s name??

[chopperk]

She was well paid for her endorsement. Follow the money.

I noticed that Oprah Winfrey is still fat after all those diets she said she was on. Also not married to her beard.
