Oprah Winfrey has addressed her part in platforming the careers of pro-Trump doctors Dr. Phil McGraw and Dr. Mehmet Oz on her titular talk show.
Winfrey’s The Oprah Winfrey Show show aired from 1986-2011. She introduced McGraw — who is no longer a licensed psychologist after letting his license lapse two decades ago — as a weekly expert and relationship strategist in 1998. Oz, who holds medical and business degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, began appearing on the program as a medical expert in 2004.
