They spent $1B on something. It wasn’t just boxed wine.

Oprah said no, she did not get paid $1 million dollars and she is correct. HER entertainment company received 2 $500,000 payments. See how deceptive they are and so easily to lie.

Some town Hall, it was a million dollar paid commercial to Harpo i.e.Oprah. Talk about deceiving voters.

And when questioned, Oprah lied, said she wasn’t paid 1 million because it technically went to her production company, what a sleaze. Oprah now lost any and all credibility.

Didn’t pay her $1m but did pay her 500k twice?

That’s really what they’re going for?

Saw only one episode of her show.....she came on stage pulling a cart full of lard. She said this was how much weight she had lost. Bye!!

Oprah claims that SHE did not receive any cash. It was paid to her “production company”. These various companies, some of which are just shells, some actually perform some amount of work, are primarily used to fund the owners lifestyle and avoid taxes. That writes off private jet usage, exotic very expensive travel and related expenses, expense cars, even security, chefs and food, etc. The owner avoids seeing any income at all (lowering taxes) and instead gets much of their lifestyle paid for at no cost.

I saw the few billboards she bought here where I live. They couldn’t have cost more than $7.50 a month. And those TV campaign ads. ROTFL! Those actors were pretty low rent. Three bucks an hour with a free “all you can eat” buffet table on the set. Geez.

This looks like Oprah subcontracted her staff at her entertainment company directly to Que-mala.

There may be legal issues depending on how they're structured as a company and may have violated campaign finance laws.

Wait a minute.....you mean to tell me that all those celebrities didn’t endorse Kamala because they love her and strongly believed in her campaign?

“Kamala Harris’s campaign has been accused of spending millions of dollars on paying celebrities to endorse her.”

About a billion went to everything from celebrities to townhalls, to ‘dedicated’ supporters being bussed in, to expensive light displays like the globe that was hundreds of thousands of dollars, down to a couple of hundred for folks on the street to vote for her.

The best part is she lost so bad you could have flushed the money down the toilet and got the same result. Oh and they’re 20 million in debt.

It’s possible a drooling biden could have done better.

Before I started my diet and 60 minutes on the treadmill, the free buffet would have gotten me on the set.
