Political commentator Bill O’Reilly featured the Washington Examiner’s reporting that detailed how Vice President Kamala Harris raised north of $1 billion in campaign funds, including money paid to Oprah Winfrey’s production company that the Hollywood star initially denied.
“So, the Washington Examiner on Friday, Nov. 8, breaks this story about how Oprah Winfrey’s production company is paid $1 million by Kamala Harris’s campaign. $1 million, big money,” O’Reilly said on his No Spin News show. “And you remember Oprah did a bunch of displays, let’s call them, for Miss Harris. We confirmed that number is true, but Oprah denied it.”
Earlier this week, Oprah was reportedly confronted by TMZ and said that the reporting was not true, stating that she “was paid nothing — ever.”
O’Reilly noted that the $1 million in campaign funds were reported to have gone to Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions on Oct. 15 in West Hollywood, California.
“And that’s the way it always goes,” O’Reilly said. “So, I got three corporations. And a lot of the money that goes into the corporations eventually, someday, will come to me, but I don’t get paid directly. It just comes in.”
“So, Oprah was doing a little two-step here and she finally had to admit it,” he continued.

Oprah reportedly explained that the funds were used to pay those who worked on the productions, stating, “I did not take any personal fee. However, the people who worked on that production needed to be paid and they were. End of story.”
“It would have been the end of story, Oprah, if you had told the truth up front,” O’Reilly said.
