CHICAGO โ€” Legendary talk show host Oprah Winfrey made a surprise appearance at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, when she slammed former President Trump and his vice president 24 years after she suggested he would make a good president.

"We know all the old tricks and tropes that are designed to distract us from what actually matters," Winfrey told the crowd at the United Center. "But we are beyond ridiculous tweets and lies and foolery. These are complicated times, people, and they require adult conversation. And I welcome those conversations because civilized debate is vital to democracy, and it is the best of America."

"We know all the old tricks and tropes that are designed to distract us from what actually matters," Oprah Winfrey, multibillionaire celebrity

So these things don't matter:

Not being able to afford groceries and other basic necessities vs. being able to afford groceries and other basic necessities.

Fentanyl and other deadly drugs pouring freely across the border destroying families and communities vs. not having fentanyl and other deadly drugs pouring freely across the border destroying families and communities

Criminal cartels flowing freely across the border violently assaulting and murdering people and selling women and children into sex slavery vs. not having criminal cartels flowing freely across the border violently assaulting and murdering people and selling women and children into sex slavery

The world being on fire from one disastrous foreign policy blunder after another (Afghanistan, etc.) vs. peace breaking out from diplomatic breakthroughs like the Abraham Accords, getting North Korea to the negotiating table, etc.

And so many other things like that that don't matter - per Oprah, we need to get past things like this that distract us so we can have civilized conversations.

Go eff yourself you horrible creature. I guess she’s just sad she can no longer offer up young nubile and naive white actresses to Harvey Weinstein.

And the Dems have been using all of them this week. Including Oprah.

Lard arse. I am proud to say I have never watched anything she is in or produced. I hear her voice on the tv and I leave the room or mute. She turns my stomach and all the white Karen types just fawn over her.

Shut the F up Orca. No one cares what you think, other than a bunch of brain-dead liberal broads.

Where was Barry and Oprah’s BFF Reverend Jeremiah Wright?

Why leave him out when they let both of them speak?

Shoot he was an early pioneer on the Marxist train before it became preferred Democrat Party locomotion.
