This is soooo interesting.
Oprah’s BFFFF Gayle was OBVIOUSLY given a spin when it comes to Stedman’s comments that she would “Absolutely” run for president…
It seems to work… until Norah O’Donnell calls her out on why the spin doesn’t make`any sense.
Then it gets a liiiiittle awkward!
HAHAHAH The spin was perfect! …Until it wasn’t. And then she basically just gives it away – Yes, Oprah’s thinking about it.
Gayle King was a loyal Oprah solider Tuesday morning, trying to spin Stedman Graham’s comment about a 2020 Oprah run for President … and she did so with limited success.
Gayle begins by saying Stedman misunderstood the question posed by the L.A. Times and only meant that she’d make a good president. Gayle’s co-host, Norah O’Donnell, zeroed in with a true statement — Stedman’s answer was “She would absolutely do it.”
The clip is interesting … Gayle says she talked to her best bud for a long time Monday night, and it sounds like Oprah had her locked and loaded for a spin.
At the very least … it’s clear Oprah’s now noodling the idea.
OPRAH! If you’re going to give your BFF talking points… make sure they’re not THIS easily shot down.
She looked kinda nervous when it became totally obvious that was a spin. OMG WHAT NEXT?!
So yeah… Gayle’s spin didn’t work. Here’s what everyone took from it:

HAHAHHAA.
The ONLY heard the “I do think she’s intrigued by the idea.” part. It’s like the spin neeeever happened.
Anyway… somewhere in a teepee, Fauxcahontas cries. SHE was supposed to be the lady president in 2020!
