Oprah Winfrey’s speech at the Golden Globes has already sent 2020 shockwaves, but her biggest fan may not even be registered as a Democrat.
Bill Kristol, founder of the conservative magazine The Weekly Standard and one of the most vocal #NeverTrumpers, has thrown his support behind the legendary talkshow host — if she pursued a presidential run — in a series of tweets.

Kristol even celebrated Oprah as a fellow neo-con:
Oprah: Pro-regime change in Iraq (see her Oct. 9, 2002 show).#ImWithHer

Oprah: Friend of Allan Bloom (see her show “How Dumb Are We?” from I believe 1988).#ImWithHer

He took a moment to throw shade at other potential 2020 candidates including Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, former Vice President Joe Biden, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Colorado Governor John Hickenhooper.
Oprah: Sounder on economics than Bernie Sanders, understands Middle America better than Elizabeth Warren, less touchy-feely than Joe Biden, more pleasant than Andrew Cuomo, more charismatic than John Hickenlooper.#ImWithHer

Oprah: Younger than Sanders, Biden, Warren, and Hickenlooper.

He even gave her a shoutout for being “pro-manliness.”
Oprah: Pro-manliness.

Watch out, President Trump. Kristol is attempting to seek revenge!
