Muitas pessoas foram às redes sociais para expressar choque e indignação com as notícias de que a campanha de Kamala Harris desembolsou milhões para pagar celebridades de Hollywood ricas a fim de “apoiá-la” antes das eleições de 2024.
A maior surpresa veio com os relatos de que Harris pagou um milhão de dólares para a ex-apresentadora de TV Oprah Winfrey apoiar a vice-presidente.
A comentarista da mídia Meghan McCain demonstrou indignação com as notícias e criticou Oprah por aceitar o dinheiro.
Why would Harris pay someone to endorse her? And if you're Oprah, why do you need another million dollars? For Gods sake give it to a food bank or people in need.

There is just such a rot in American campaign money, celebrity and how it's spent. I am so grossed out by this.
They are elitist rich corrupt liberals with very little morals

Winfrey desde então se manifestou contra esses relatos e negou que tenha sido paga por seu apoio. No entanto, os relatórios de gastos da campanha de Harris claramente apresentam entradas mostrando que a campanha destinou uma quantia considerável de dinheiro a certas celebridades.
HOLY SMOKES! Kamala's campaign wasted $20M to buy the endorsements of celebrities

$5M to Megan Thee Stallion
$3M to Lizzo
$1.8M for Eminem
$1M for Oprah
Paid 6 figures to appear on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast
O dinheiro que parece ter sido destinado a Oprah, no entanto, empalidece em comparação com o que outros receberam, de acordo com os relatórios de financiamento da campanha. E os fãs têm perguntas.
HOLY SHT! 🚨
