No — Senator John Fetterman did not say Oprah tried to bribe him with $20 million. The claim circulating online is false and has been fully debunked.

Searches of reliable news reports show no evidence that John Fetterman ever said Oprah Winfrey offered him $20 million to buy his vote.

There are also no credible reports suggesting that Winfrey attempted to bribe any lawmaker. If such an incident had occurred, it would have been widely covered by major news outlets and addressed by public officials.

The viral post also claims that Fetterman made this statement before a Senate Oversight Committee, but no such testimony or official record exists. In fact, in November 2022, Oprah publicly supported Fetterman during a virtual get-out-the-vote event, stating, “If I lived in Pennsylvania, I would have already cast my vote for John Fetterman”.

Additionally, searches using keywords like ‘John Fetterman and Oprah Winfrey’ and ‘Oprah Winfrey offered John Fetterman $20M’ do not lead to any credible news articles supporting the claim. Therefore, the claim that Fetterman said Winfrey offered him $20M to buy his vote is fabricated and not supported by evidence.
