Oprah Winfrey is responsible for Dr. Meit Oz.
There is no other way to say that her company owned his show.
She is the one who put him on the air.
She created Dr. Oz and made him a household name, which of course is why this past Thursday
when she came out and endorsed Oz's Senate opponent John Federman, it was such a big
deal, right?
I mean, you created this guy, you made him famous, you made him rich, you produced his
show.
But even Oprah is out there saying, Listen, I know I did this.
I know I put this guy out there.
I don't trust him enough to be in the Senate.
I'm voting if she could vote in Pennsylvania.
She says, I would vote for John Federman.
Here's what she said.
I will tell you this.
If I lived in Pennsylvania, I would've already cast my vote for John Federman.
For many reasons.
That means a lot.
It really, truly does mean a lot coming from the person who created Dr. Oz.
I also have a very real problem with her coming out and doing this.
Not the fact that she did it, but when she did it, she, Oprah, one of the most influential
people in the United States of America, came out and not only endorsed Oz, she also endorsed,
uh, Mandela Barnes over Ron Johnson.
She endorsed, uh, Katherine Cortez Mato over Adam Alt in Nevada.
She endorsed Warnock over Walker in Georgia.
She endorsed O'Rourke over Abbott in Texas.
She endorsed Stacy Abrams over, uh, Kemp in Georgia.
She endorsed a whole slew of Republicans this past Thursday, four days before the midterms,
after millions of Americans had already done their early voting.
Don't you think this is something you could have done two weeks ago, a month ago, two
months ago, three months ago?
I mean, literally anytime before Thursday, as the most influential person in this country?
Almost may.
Maybe that's, I don't know.
Maybe it's something you could have done a while ago.
Hell, maybe you could have come out and said, Dr. Oz is bad for America during the primary.
I mean, the guy barely won the primary.
Like they had to go to recounts.
It was so close.
Had you come out and warn the public during the primary, we may not even be talking about
this idiot anymore.
And look, I know people are probably gonna be mad that I'm saying that.
Like, Hey, just be happy that she did it.
And of course, I'm happy that she's, she did it.
John Federman is happy that she did it.
But by God, when you have that kind of influence and you know who you're going to endorse in
who you're gonna vote for, don't you think they kind of owe it to the public to do it
sooner?
Like you don't have to do it at all.
Don't get me wrong, Oprah didn't have to say a word.
She is not required to do that.
But if you're gonna do it, do it when you can actually help people, because we may be
past that point right now.
That's what worries me.
It may be too late for your endorsements to make a difference.
You have a huge voice.
You have a wonderful voice.
You've made bad decisions like putting Dr. Oz on the air.
Sure.
But we've all made bad decisions.
And if you wanted to make it right, the time to do it wasn't four days before the voting
ends.
At the very least, it was on the first day that early voting started.
That's my issue with this.
This could have been done a long time ago because we've all seen how dangerous Dr. Oz
is such a doctor too, that even his research was banned because he was so bad at it.
This endorsement is great, just a little too.
