[See NewsBusters for more.] Talk about cozy. Democratic donor Gayle King on Monday lamented the non-2020 campaign of Democratic donor Oprah Winfrey and the fact that the talk show host passed on moderating a Democratic debate. CBS This Morning co-host King joked about support from Jesus if Winfrey decided to run: “Oprah said that Jesus would have to call her in order to do that. I told her, ‘Jesus called me, What should I say?’” Co-host Tony Dokoupil wondered, “Do you regret not running?” Co-host Anthony Mason quizzed, “Did you seriously consider” a bid? Winfrey explained, “I was actually also asked to... moderate one of the debates.” King added, “I thought you should.”
