Oprah Winfrey is campaigning for Democrat, Stacey Abrams, which if she wins, will become the first African American female governor in U.S. history!
While Winfrey is in favor of the democratic nominee, not everyone is, and some groups are even expressing their hate.
A white supremacist group that targeted Florida gubernatorial candidate, Andrew Gilium, with racist robocalls is now targeting Georgia gubernatorial candidate, Stacey Abrams, and Oprah Winfrey.
The calls are extremely racist and explicit. Listen below:
“This is the magic n***o, Oprah Winfrey, asking you to make my fellow ne****s, Stacey Abrams, the governor of Georgia…Where others see a poor-man’s Aunt Jemima, I see someone white women can be tricked into voting for, especially the fat ones. And so I promise that every single person who votes for Stacey Abrams, you’re going to get a new car!”
The explicit content was degrading however, Oprah, was not even phased, and wuickly turned the negative comments into a postive message.

She clapped back with a positive comeback and a caption to her post stating, “…the antidote to hate…VOTE your love!”
She posted on Instagram and clarified that people have been making racist robocalls. Winfrey states that she’s in 100% for Abrams and encourages everyone to go out and vote.
Abrams is in a tight race with Republican candidate, Brian Kemp, who is supported by current president, Donald Trump.
Well, time to hit the polls and see who wins!
