Ted Cruz bashes Oprah for 'lecture' on race: 'What utter, racist BS'

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) lashed out at Oprah Winfrey for saying white privilege is an "advantage," accusing the Black media mogul of spewing "utter, racist BS."

"Billionaire Oprah lectures the rest of us: 'You still have your whiteness. That's what the term "white privilege" is. It means that whiteness still gives you an advantage, no matter,'" the senator wrote on Twitter in response to an article from Glenn Beck's conservative outlet The Blaze.

"What utter, racist BS," he added.

His comments come after Winfrey debuted her new interview show on Apple TV+, "The Oprah Conversation."
