Vice President Kamala Harris paid Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions $1 million, just one example of millions the campaign spent on various entertainers during the vice president’s failed bid for president.
The Harris campaign paid $1 million to Winfrey’s company on October 15, according to a report in the Washington Examiner, coming after a star-studded town hall that Winfrey hosted for the vice president in September.
Winfrey also appeared at Harris’ final rally in Philadelphia on the eve of Election Day, with the talk show star offering a rare endorsement of a presidential candidate.
“We’re voting for values and integrity,”

Oprah aint a billionaire because she's an idiot. Of course, she and the other 'celebrities' got paid. Would anyone at all act stupid for free?

I am ready to endorse her for dogcatcher of Alameda County for only $50. A real bargain.

I read that Special K gave Beyonce $10 million compared to Oprah's paltry
$1 million. Oprah must feel like chopped liver. Of course, the rest of the country must feel like getting a refund due to incredible waste of money for supporting Special K.

So Cumalo spent enormous sums to get celebrities to "voluntarily" endorse her. I wonder if the Big Don had to spend any money on celebrity endorsements. Oh yeah, Big Don got a landslide mandate on a shoe string budget.

Harris strategy was two 'free' televised concerts a month. Everyone joyful! Everything about Washington is a symbol for money wasted.

What Oprah and all of the Hollywood crowd did for Kamala Harris were not endorsements. They were paid spokespeople for her campaign. What they said about Harris had no legitimacy once they were paid to say they supported her. Harris and her paid Hollywood crowd are a bunch of frauds.

I was furious and disgusted when Oprah issued her “this may be the last time you can vote” little talk. Finding out that she was paid $1 million to say it makes it so much worse. She owes the country a major apology.

So Oprah is the hooker and Kammie is the John. Nice to know. But we knew that all along.

Looks like it was technically paid to Oprah's business enterprise.
Was this so Oprah could avoid paying taxes on that appearance fee?
The incoming Congress should pass a law making such arrangements require an acknowledgement that they are at X event based on being paid to appear.
Something to the effect of "Hi, I first need to advise you I'm here being paid for my appearance".
Otherwise, people are being misinformed of the things someone like Oprah later states.
Of course, the Democrats were looking to fool voters, again.

And The Donald sat down with Joe Rogan for free. We now understand better the pained expressions during the town hall: "Who signed me up for this for only a million? I should be getting at least 5."

If Oprah's really smart she'll wait to see if the check clears.

I would have endorsed her for a tenth of that. Doesn't mean I would have voted for her.

And 20 mil short, you can bet it's the vendors and caterers and assorted little people who get stiffed. But Oprah, Springsteen, and Beyonce - billionaires all - they got theirs up front.

If I truly believed Donald Trump was an "existential threat to our democracy" and if I had the capacity to get the word out to my fellow citizens that he was "dangerous", I wouldn't be seeking payment for doing the right thing. I was brought up better than that. There's a difference between promoting propaganda because you trusted dishonest messengers, and promoting propaganda because somebody paid you to sell your influence.

Okra Windbag never impressed me, but I have to admit: she knows TV, and she knows how to promote oneself. She also knew that KH's 'Q' rating was in single digits. She certainly knows how to make a buck!

Suckers!! Donors to the Heels Up slush fund got taken to the cleaners. They gave a million bucks to a billionaire, expecting a return on their investment, when all they bought was snake oil. Suckers!

Harris: "Will you come out and support me?"
