To give you an idea of just how divided the nation has been in the wake of Donald Trump's election as the 45th president of the United States, people are now turning on Oprah.
It all started on Thursday, Nov. 10, when a subdued President-elect Donald Trump visited President Barack Obama in the White House. After seeing the brief (awkward) photo-op, celebrity goddess Oprah Winfrey tweeted her thoughts, which included calls for patience and hope.
To drive the point home, Oprah, who endorsed Hillary in the race, went back to the well during an appearance on Entertainment Tonight: "It gave me hope... to hear President-Elect Trump say he had respect for President Obama, it felt he had reached a moment where he was actually humbled by that experience ... I think everybody can take a deep breath."
But many were not ready to take a deep breath. Both celebs and normies alike took umbrage with Oprah's comments.

Oprah what the fuck? This is not one of my favorite things. twitter.com/broderickgreer…
No @Oprah we're not going to take a deep breath, love you but with all due respect, the hatred that man has released won't touch your life. twitter.com/thedailybeast/…
My God, if I was as rich as @Oprah I'd feel relief too. Too bad so many marginalized people aren't as rich as @Oprah. twitter.com/Oprah/status/7…
