“I used to love Oprah, like most of us who grew up when we did,” Kelly said, adding, “And only now did I realize I’ve been getting spoon-fed propaganda from this woman for years.” The town hall that Winfrey emceed in the battleground state Thursday was billed as the “Unite for America Rally.”
The star-studded event for the Harris campaign was virtually attended by a host of A-listers, including Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, and Jennifer Lopez. However, Kelly claimed that the “debacle” town hall was “the ultimate culmination of her [Winfrey’s] journalistic fails.”

One of the moments from the Harris-Winfrey interview that stirred a debate online was the vice president’s admission about possessing a gun. “If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot, sorry,” the Democratic presidential candidate said. “Probably should not have said that. But my staff will deal with that later,” she added.
Kelly blasted Winfrey for not pushing Harris enough about her stance on gun control policies. “You can craft that question in a number of ways, but it must be crafted if you’re an honest broker,” the former NBC News correspondent said, adding, “She’s not,” in reference to Winfrey.
