Oprah Winfrey endorses Kamala Harris at DNC Day 3: 'Let us choose joy' - FOX 5 News Atlanta
Oprah Winfrey spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Wednesday, making the case for uniting as Americans and upholding democracy.
Winfrey, who said she's a registered independent voter, listed all the states in which she’s lived, drawing cheers from the crowd.
“I've seen racism and sexism and income inequality and division. I've not only seen it, at times I've been on the receiving end of it. But more often than not what I've witnessed and experienced are human beings, both conservative and liberal who may not agree with each other, but who'd still help you in a heartbeat if you were in trouble,” Winfrey said.
On a night focused on fighting “for our freedoms,” from democracy to reproductive rights and more, Winfrey argued for civilized debate and abortion rights. And she alluded to former President Donald Trump’s proclivity for social media outrage, as well as comments made years ago by his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, about “childless cat ladies” in government.
"Despite what some would have you think, we are not so different from our neighbors. When a house is on fire, we don't ask about the homeowner's race or religion. We don't wonder who their partner is or how they voted. No, we just try to do the best we can to save them,” Winfrey said. “And if the place happens to belong to a childless cat lady - well, we try to get that cat out too.”
She urged the crowd to choose joy, to choose freedom, to choose Harris. - Aired on 08/21/2024.

And I only saw her show once, when I was visiting my grandmother and we stopped by to see her friend who had it on! And I was impressed with her speech as well, each speech was so well done, terrific lineup again last night! 
Or whether Harris/Walz can keep up this momentum. And of course we know that TFG and his Project 2025 comrades are planning on new ways to cheat. I've listened to Liz Cheney's book about the 2020 election, TFG's refusal to listen to anyone who told him he lost, the violent insurrection and how he refused to listen to everyone who begged him to stop it, and the investigations and conclusions of the J6 Committee. And given all the evidence of his criminal behavior, I can't believe that he hasn't been tried and convicted after all this time, let alone allowed to run to lead the government he attempted to overthrow.
That said, this DNC was certainly an all-star lineup and the crowd was obviously thrilled - and it's not even over yet. And, as has been said, many of the scheduled speakers were former Republicans as were those who testified for the J6 Committee.
