    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.https://twitter.com/Oprah/status/796807184969502720 …

        How does it feel to feel marginalized for a change? I've felt that way for 8 years, it's your turn now.

        And I genuinely am interested to know how you felt marginalized for the last 8 years. No one should feel that way.

        That's it, throw out your spoon fed rhetoric, attacking anybody that doesn't agree with you, like a good liberal.

        bigotry isn't an opinion. It's hate. And it's ignorant. And boring. And lazy. But both your followers must love itpic.twitter.com/4X6sGffKka

        You don't know what bigotry actually is, because you're the only one demonstrating it.
