奥普拉要竞选总统？2020美国大选或上演电视明星PK赛(6)

"So this isn't about partisanship for me," she added. "This is very, very personal."她补充道：“所以这与支持哪个党派无关，我来这里是出于非常私人的目的。”
Winfrey ruled out a presidential bid last June, telling The Hollywood Reporter: “I will never run for public office. That’s a pretty definitive thing.”奥普拉在去年六月还否认了自己参加大选的可能性，她告诉《好莱坞记者》说：“我永远不会竞选公职。这是非常肯定的。”
虽然奥普拉这么说，她过去这些年可没少参加政治活动。除了为奥巴马拉票，她还用自己的力量影响着政界的大小事务。
When it came to the Iraq War, Winfrey was actually far more notable for airing programs that dove into the opposition to the war prior to its outbreak. She held a two-day special to explore the negative implications on Iraq, and some speculated that the Bush administration held a press conference during one of Winfrey's broadcasts to counter the programming.在伊拉克战争这件事情上，奥普拉为人所知的可不仅仅是在战争爆发前播放反战节目。
她曾策划了一期长达两天的特别节目，探讨战争对伊拉克的负面影响，有人猜测布什政府曾在奥普拉的这个节目期间召开记者招待会，就是为了降低该节目的影响力。
Winfrey has expressed pro-gun control views, pro-LGBT rights, and has come out in favor of providing a path to citizenship for the millions of undocumented Americans protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.奥普拉曾发表过支持枪支管制的观点，她公开支持同性恋、双性恋及变性者的权利，还曾经站出来给数百万受青少年暂缓遣返项目保护的无证美国人争取公民身份。
