We aren’t Going Back!!!!!
i need to put food on the table; i need to pay bills; i need to pay rent … i need to LIVE …
People did not learn from the past years…., So sad 😔, America…, Please wake up., Dont be fool of their popularity, Look what they have done!, Look at the greater one.., not the small and petty things, Wake up America..
1954 everyone only 70 years ago!! We are starting to have such a short memory.
If you told me she is Chris Rock’s mother I would believe you.

GD Oprah is looking better than ever. I don’t think she is eating babies but if she is. Can I get some?
Great, optomistic speech!
I Think that might have been the best speech of the convention
Oprah should run with Trump what a team that would be
I just wanna see who they blame the mess on next. Oprah do not care about us. All she care about is her own money. I don’t care what nobody says.
we don't give a shat what she thinks!
What a Judas, check out her interview with Trump .
In 1998 on her show, she told trump she hopes he runs for president one day, what happened now?
Truly love Oprah! I often wonder why she never ran for presidency. She would have made a Hell of a phenomenal president.
PREACH! ☮️☮️💗
AMEN AMEN AMEN !!!!
Dear MAGA Nation,
We are very concerned about you. Have you seen or heard the republican VP pick JDVance? This is NOT about red or blue, white or black, this transcends colors. Our country is under attack, AGAIN…
I thought Oprah got canceled…Weinstein, Maui, child trafficking oh my! I don't know how anyone at this point, would even want Oprah to endorse anything. Might as well throw P.Diddy up there. Delusion is a disease. I'm not judging, I've been in delulu land plenty of times and then you wake up like…what the hell? Life is an illusion anyway. Sometimes you wonder if any of this is actually real; just like that girl that freaked out on a Tik Tok video that the guy on the plane was not real…shout out to her!
AMEN OPRAH!
What’s her take on her new 28% tax
The irony of oprah talking about "when your house in fire…."
Then she goes on social media asking the public to give money. I love what she stood for and what she did, sadly she has since showed her real colours and how she really is as.
Karma ❤
Google it. Oprah wanted to run with Trump. Oprah is a liar!!! She grabbed land in Maui from people that needed help. 🤔
Oprah is blinded
This woman is really despicable. She will say anything to gain power, wealth and fame- turning on people who supported her when she needed it. The way she has treated people in Hawaii, keeping her 1000 acres protected from fire victims, not offering a penny for those community members, tells us all we need to know about her. I used to respect her. Now I just see her as another rich and famous person shilling for anything that will keep her in the limelight aka build her empire.
What truly matters is what Kamala Harris will specifically do for us. I’m not just an independent; I’m undecided. She may have a lovely character, but that doesn’t guarantee she has the substance we need. We need specifics—a concrete plan that shows she’s got more than just charm. Love you, Oprah, but on this, you’re off track.
It’s kind of weird that Oprah thought about running for office with TRUMP
Hmm
Yes. And it’s easy to choose anything you want while your country is democratic.
But if your country becomes a socialist regime one day the way out will fake decades of fighting and millions of lives lost .
Be mindful 🙏🙏🙏
God bless freedom and America
She’s a liar
That was a beautiful speech 😅
BLESSINGS 🙏
🇺🇲❤💪🏽
Cringe woman elitist who didnt care about the people of Maui.
White Women for Harris!!
White Dudes for Harris!!
Latinos for Harris!!
She's just begun and I'm already impressed by her speech!! Wonderful opening!! This is gonna be great!!
(later)
It WAS great!! She needs to contribute to the Harris-Walz campaign with all the money she's got!!
amazing how not one of these bozos talk policy. No solutions to economy, inflation, border failures except to knock the other party. waste of time listening to this.
Vote Harris/Walz yes! Freedom!
Seriously Oprah, Really? 🤷
Hey Oprah, what happened to the native people of Hawaii in the "wild fires"? Where are the children of Maui? What of the parents and local homeowners who lost everything they had? Don't pretend to be like us – you are not. Your desire is to rule over us. You're hiding in plain sight, and if we the people have not the sight to see that, then it is us who are willingly walking into the traps you have set before us.
These speeches go to show just how asleep we are as a people, as a populace, as a nation once united – you may be wowed by this person's charisma or ability to turn a phrase, but you truly miss the greater point: it's all illusion and misdirection, created by those in power to ensure you well forget just how wretched the last four years of your lives have been. Short of you actually having wealth, you've just lived through one of the most difficult four-year economic stretches this nation's ever endured. And this man has the gall to stand up in his high place and say, "Democracy can deliver"? What has this democracy done for you in the past four years? How has your life improved? Your circumstances, and the opportunities for you to save, invest, live, and retire with dignity? Do not be fooled, fellow Americans. The people peddling at the podiums presenting on this night have only one use for you – and that is for you to keep working low-income jobs, scraping by, and paying your taxes. Be an obedient mule that perpetually feeds them and their families and ensures they get the homes they want in the Hyde Park, Palm Desert, and Martha's Vineyard, while you die just to get by. This nation needs to take a stand, and understand what is being taken from us.
Can you just leave America now??
Mental radical team
My girl, Oprah, always delivers. May God bless her always!!!
This campaign is so powerfull and makes me so hopefull and happy for the american people. Brothers and sisters from across the sea. Please🙏🏾GO OUT AND VOTE! For yourself, for each other and for the rest of the world💙💙💙
– all love from Europe🫶🏾
