Turns out, Oprah Winfrey’s buy-in on failed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris wasn’t as cheap as originally advertised. When it was first revealed that the Harris campaign, which spent $1.6 billion on her failed bid and is reportedly $20 million in debt, paid millions of dollars to essentially buy the support of a number of top-tier entertainers, Oprah was quick to deny reports that she was paid $1 million — the billionaire media proprietor held a September town hall with Harris and appeared at Harris’ final campaign rally in Philadelphia. While Winfrey acknowledged that her Harpo Productions staff was paid by...

Kamala Harris's campaign paid more than double what was previously thought to Oprah Winfrey as Democrats continue to fundraise past the election after going into debt to run a presidential bid. Reports emerged that Harris's campaign paid Winfrey's Harpo Productions $1 million as part of a very pricey and short run for the White House. But now, the New York Times reports that two people familiar with the matter reveal the full price of the event with Winfrey cost closer to $2.5 million.

Vice President Kamala Harris pulled out all the stops when it came to lining up the proverbial A-list of celebrity endorsements. They came. They saw. But they most assuredly did not conquer. It was an epic fail as a litany of celebrities lined up to join campaign Kamala. They spoke, some were expected to sing but didn’t, and, in the end, no one was listening. Why in the world would that be? The legacy media did its level best to convince the American electorate that everything was just fine and dandy, but this message belied reality. The folks in the...

Oscar winner Julia Roberts was one of the many Hollywood celebrities who appeared during Oprah Winfrey’s free commercial for Kamala Harris last week, but during her message, the Pretty Woman star seemed to accidentally admit that people in foreign nations think Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have ruined America. Roberts remarked that she gets to travel overseas a lot, but when she does, she is meeting people who seem to worry that the U.S.A. is not doing very well. Roberts explained that she wants people she meets overseas to be excited that she is American and she exclaimed, “I want...

Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that he believes Oprah Winfrey was “embarrassed by” Vice President Kamala Harris’s lack of preparation on major issues that was on display during Winfrey’s interview and event with Harris on Thursday. “She didn’t have an answer to anything, and she made a fool of herself on Oprah,” Trump said of Harris during an interview with Breitbart News on Sunday afternoon. “Oprah wanted to crawl under the table — she was embarrassed by it.” Several people criticized Harris for her inability to answer basic questions during the town hall event with Winfrey, such...

When Joe Biden had to use a teleprompter everywhere he went we sort of understood it because the guy's brain is like oatmeal that's been sitting outside in the sun for a few days ... sure, we made fun of him for being unable to have a simple conversation without prewritten statements available to him but still. At least Joe had an excuse. Kamala Harris? Not so much although to be fair, her brain is also like oatmeal that's been sitting outside for at least a day but not because she's a million years old. She's just an unlikable, ignorant,...

Well, this is awkward. After Federal Election Commission filings showed that the Harris-Walz campaign paid a cool million to Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Productions company for the town hall where Oprah endorsed Harris, Oprah denied it. Caught on a backstreet by one of those TMZ video crews and asked if it was true that "they paid you a million dollars for the endorsement for Kamala," Oprah replied, "Not true. I was paid nothing, ever." “The campaign paid for the production costs of ‘Unite for America,’ a live-streaming event that took place Sept. 19 outside Detroit, Mich.,” a spokesperson for Harpo said,...

‘Can you feel the joy rising in here?’ Oprah Winfrey asked Vice President Kamala Harris to open Thursday’s prime-time special.. Oprah Winfrey’s glitzy hour-long special with Vice President Kamala Harris Thursday night was not a feature of a serious presidential campaign, but instead a celebrity-obsessed public relations program intended to win what’s become a popularity contest. If anyone tuned in to hear a few substantive questions about why Harris has changed so many of her policy positions, it should have been obvious what to expect by Oprah’s first question. “Can you feel the joy rising in here?” she asks after...
