Oprah hits every woke talking point in commencement speech — addresses 'corrupted' Supreme Court, LGBT community, 'gutted' voting rights, 'military-grade assault rifles,' and more

Billionaire Oprah Winfrey gave a woke commencement speech at a Tennessee State University graduation ceremony on Saturday, during which she rattled off every perceived problem plaguing the nation in the eyes of the progressive left.

She encouraged graduates to go out into the world and address a wide range of various matters, including climate change, systemic racism, police brutality, gun violence, voting rights, women's rights, and banned books.

Winfrey slammed the Supreme Court for "being corrupted" by a conservative majority and accused Republicans of holding the debt ceiling hostage. Then, she claimed that the LGBT+ community is "under attack."

"The Cold War is back," Winfrey declared.

She addressed police brutality, stating, "I've been thinking a lot about how much of your lives have already been spent grappling with the extremely complex issues of our time because you are the generation that is forced to depend on body cams to obtain justice."

"And even then, accountability, as we've seen again and again, can be so hard to come by," she continued.

Winfrey claimed that voting and women's rights are "being gutted" and "dismantled." She added that "books are being banned, and history is being rewritten."

She accused the country's leaders of "behaving like children" and stated that "children are being gunned down by military-grade assault rifles."

Winfrey condemned those involved in the January 6 protest at the nation's Capitol, referring to their actions as the "death of civility."

Seemingly in the next breath, she praised the Tennessee Democratic lawmakers, Representatives Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, who were expelled last month for encouraging a disruptive protest that shut down House floor proceedings at that state Capitol. Winfrey applauded the representatives for "building on the legacy of giants and mentors of mine, like John Lewis," referring to the former Democratic U.S. Representative for Georgia and a civil rights leader in the 1960s.

"We live on a planet where there is more than enough wrong to keep you busy trying to make things right for the rest of your natural life," she told graduates. "And unfortunately, you're going to encounter people who will insist that it's not actually possible to make any real difference. But I believe Tennessee has a couple of Justins just a few miles from here who would respectfully disagree."

Winfrey wrapped up her speech by encouraging the graduates to "dream big" and be "audacious thinkers."
