The reason why I havent been vocal, other than saying Im with her, is because I didnt know what to say that could actually pierce through all the noise and the chaos and the disgusting vitriol thats going on and actually be heard, Winfrey told the Dallas-based pastor T.D. Jakes, according to an excerpt of the hourlong sitdown to air next Thursday.
But there really is no choice, people. All the people sitting around talking about they cant decide. This is what I what I wanna say wait a minute, she said, silencing Jakes to make her point. I hear this all the time. You get into conversations and theres not a person in this room who hasnt been in this same conversation where people say, I just dont know if I like her.
But you dont have to, Winfrey said, stressing thats not the question voters should be asking.
Shes not coming over to your house! You dont have to like her, she said. You dont have to like her. Do you like this country? Do you like this country? You better get out there and vote. Do you like the country? Do you like freedom and liberty? Do you like this country? OK. Do you like democracy or do you want a demagogue?
