The post Youngster Rock Refers to Oprah a “Extortion as” for John Fetterman Support Against Dr. Oz showed up first on Result.
Kid Rock referred to Oprah Winfrey as “a fake” for her support of Popularity based competitor John Fetterman against Republic rival and her previous regular television show visitor, Dr. Mehmet Oz, in the political race for the open US Senate seat in Pennsylvania.
Oprah tossed her help to Fetterman during the host’s “A Virtual Democratic Discussion” occasion on November third notwithstanding her long working relationship with Oz, who consistently showed up as a big name specialist visitor on The Oprah Winfrey Show. That’s what winfrey shared “assuming I lived in Pennsylvania, I would have previously made my choice for John Fetterman, for some reasons.”
In a post via Twitter, Kid Rock reacted to the endorsement by attempting to invalidate Oprah’s overall decision-making abilities. “Oprah helped Dr. Oz with his career,” he wrote. “I assume because she vetted him and found him to be a wonderful person. Now she is against him. Oprah is a fraud.” Though chronologically sound, his argument misses the mark by somehow equating a television production’s hiring decision from over two decades ago to lifelong support of a former coworker’s politics.
The “American Bad Ass” artist previously targeted Winfrey during a drunken rant in 2019 when he was caught on camera saying, “F**k her, she can suck d**k sideways.” The backlash to Kid Rock’s comments later forced him to end a licensing deal for his hometown Detroit restaurant. The decision was announced in a statement in which he copped to being “a loud mouth jerk” and not racist before directing insults at Al Sharpton and his “cronies.”
Oz himself responded to Winfrey’s rebuke of his candidacy on Saturday during an interview with Fox News anchor Brian Kilmeade. According to Mediaite, the host asked Oz if he felt bothered after he had “asked [Oprah] to stay on the sidelines,” to which he responded, “No. I love Oprah… She and I have different politics, and that’s okay.”
Winfrey has previously faced scrutiny for her association with Oz. In 2020, Seth McFarlane criticized the celebrity doctor’s spread of misinformation in the early days of the coronavirus while also taking Winfrey to task for her role in elevating his platform. “Oprah has done some wonderfully altruistic things with her career,” he said. “I hope she will lend her own powerful voice to correct it.”
Oprah helped Dr. Oz with his career. I assume because she vetted him and found him to be a wonderful person. Now she is against him. Oprah is a fraud. -Kid Rock.
