“Jesus don’t like ugly,” Oprah Winfrey said in response to a white supremacist group imitating and mocking the media mogul on a racist robocall last week over her support for Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.
“I heard people were making racist robocalls in my name against Stacey Abrams, who I am one hundred percent for, in Georgia,” Winfrey said in a video posted to Instagram on Monday. “I just want to say: Jesus don’t like ugly … And we know what to do about that: vote. Tomorrow show up and show out, and vote.”

The robocall claims to have originated from TheRoadToPower.com, which was designated a white supremacist and anti-Semitic organization by the Anti-Defamation League.
“This is the magical negro, Oprah Winfrey, asking you to make my fellow negress, Stacey Abrams, the governor of Georgia,” the voice on the robocall said.
“Years ago, the Jews who own the American media saw something in me — the ability to trick dumb white women into thinking I was like them,” the voice continues. “I see that same potential in Stacey Abrams.”
The group has also reportedly issued similar robocalls on behalf of Florida gubernatorial candidate and Democrat Andrew Gillum, according to the Daily Beast.
Abrams is running against Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who has denounced the robocall.
