Entertainment mogul Oprah Winfrey reportedly approached Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) to pitch him on the idea of teaming up against former President Donald J. Trump in 2020 but the wild idea never came to fruition.
The alliance between the highest-powered black celebrity in America and the failed 2012 Republican presidential candidate is the latest juicy detail in the upcoming book on Romney by McKay Coppins, a staff writer for The Atlantic, the gospel for the left-wing coastal cultural elite.
In the latest excerpt from “Romney: A Reckoning” which is set to be released next week, he writes that the talk show queen suggested a unity ticket to “to save the country” from Trump, Axios reported, citing an unnamed source who is familiar with the manuscript of Coppins’ book.

“Romney tells Coppins he dismissed the idea, believing that such a campaign would inadvertently help Trump,” the outlet reported, adding, “a source familiar with Winfrey’s thinking said she was never serious about running — although some close to her thought she should.”
Winfrey’s star power has had many on the political left clamoring for her to jump into the political arena and there were rumors that she could be tabbed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom as a placeholder for recently deceased Senator Dianne Feinstein’s seat which was instead awarded to a black lesbian who didn’t even live in the state as a sop to the Democratic party’s race-obsessed base.
In previous teasers from the book – which is a must-have for Romney fans – the sanctimonious senator smeared former Vice President Mike Pence who is a devout Christian as betraying his faith over his support for Trump.
“[Nobody] had been more loyal, more willing to smile when he saw absurdities, more willing to ascribe God’s will to things that were ungodly than Mike Pence,” according to excerpts published by The Atlantic, the elitist publication that he Coppins works for.
“Look, Mitt Romney has no idea what I was doing in the administration,” Pence told CNN’s Jake Tapper when asked about Pierre Delecto’s jab at him. “I haven’t talked to Mitt Romney for years, and you know, I think he can go off into retirement.”
He also takes shots at his GOP Senate colleagues including Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) among others.
“It’s not like you’re going to be famous and powerful because you became a United States senator. It’s like, really? You sell yourself so cheap?” Mr. Romney said of Vance of his closeness to Trump, in an excerpt published by the New York Times. “How do you sit next to him at lunch?”
“Few figures in American politics have seen more and said less than Mitt Romney. An outspoken dissident in Donald Trump’s GOP, he has made headlines in recent years for standing alone against the forces he believes are poisoning the party he once led. Romney was the first senator in history to vote to remove from office a president of his own party. When that president’s supporters went on to storm the US Capitol, Romney delivered a thundering speech from the Senate floor accusing his fellow Republicans of stoking insurrection,” reads the Amazon description of the Coppins’ book which is already number one in the Campaigns and Elections category.
