Moments After Casting Vote Trump Rants At Oprah Winfrey amp Fox
Just moments after casting his vote in Palm Beach, Florida, Donald Trump took aim at Oprah Winfrey and Fox News.

In one of his final messages to America as voters elect their next president, Donald Trump has taken aim at Oprah Winfrey and Fox News.

Moments after casting his vote in Palm Beach, FL, Trump appeared to voice his displeasure at Fox News carrying clips of Winfrey at a Kamala Harris campaign rally in Philadelphia.

“Oprah’s become a major divider in our country, and I think, frankly, she should be ashamed of herself,” he told reporters. “And you know who else should be ashamed? Fox, because I’ve seen Oprah on Fox about 50 times making the same statement, and I think it’s a disgrace. Everyone thinks Fox is so pro-Trump. They’re not pro-Trump at all. They’ve put Oprah on all morning long.”

Trump, who was flanked by his wife Melania, repeated a false claim that he appeared on the final episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2011.

He also said Winfrey “wanted to run with me” and be his vice president. To promote last year’s book Letters to Trump, Winning Team Publishing released a thank-you note she sent to the then-future president. “Too bad we’re not running for office, what A TEAM!” Trump had previously said he wanted to make her his “first choice for vice president.”

In a 2015 sit-down with George Stephanopoulos shortly after launching his first run for the White House, Trump said he would like to run with the former talk show host. “I think Oprah would be great. I’d love to have Oprah,” he said told the ABC News anchor. “I think we’d win easily, actually.”

During the Harris rally on Monday, Winfrey said: “We are voting to save ourselves from this precipice of danger where we now stand. All the anxiety and fear you are feeling, you’re feeling that because you sense the danger. And you change that with your vote.”

She added: “You have got to vote. And listen, I know some of you are feeling burnt out and bruised and maybe inconsequential. Nothing could be further from the truth. Every single vote, every one is going to matter.”
