Dr. Phil withdraws support for Donald Trump with shocking confession It was an ‘act of defiance’ after Kamala Harris refused to be invited to an over-25 job interview

Dr. Phil McGraw wants his political affiliation to remain a secret. But critics find it hard to imagine just days after his controversial speech by which he defended Donald Trump from calling him a political tyrant for nearly a decade.

During an Oct. 27 Madison Square Garden rally for the GOP presidential candidate, the talk show host suggested that the businessman-turned-politician is definitely an important debater who sometimes resorts to name-calling.

Now in a brand new interview with “Piers Morgan uncensored” psychologist, who stopped renewing his license to practice in 2006, says his alleged support for the grumpy character has been misunderstood.

“It was an act of rebellion on my part,” Dr. Phil told host Piers Morgan in a promotional clip distributed hours before their discussion premiered on YouTube on November 5, Election Day.

“I’m just not here to support Donald Trump,” he added, noting, “I don’t like celebrity endorsements.” This sentiment was reflected in his speech.

Speaking to the group of MAGA supporters, Dr. Phil continued: “I am here to talk to and stand up for people who have declared their support for Donald J. Trump, or have been discovered, or want to do so but are too intimidated. They are erased, intimidated, marginalized, excluded and even boycotted.”

However, the creator of “We’re in Trouble: How to Stay Strong for America’s Soul and Mental Health” told Morgan he felt rejected after being denied repeated opportunities to speak with Vice President Kamala Harris. So he showed up on Trump’s behalf.

“I have asked to speak to Kamala Harris more than 25 times and I have never received so many answers: yes, no, maybe,” he said.

Dr. Phil also stated that well-placed Democrats can attest that he wouldn’t attempt to conduct an “ambush interview.” Harris’ team was said to have been concerned about McGraw’s past of interrogating callers.

What’s more, the Daytime Emmy winner said he “offered to deliver an identical speech at the Harris rally,” even offering to provide a transcript of his remarks upfront.

Harris, the Democratic nominee, has used a lineup of guest speakers at campaign events, including Barack and Michelle Obama, Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and Oprah Winfrey, just to name just a few who appeared.

Winfrey faced digital criticism as McGraw enraged liberal voters and organizations focused on the advancement of people of color with his alleged alliance with Trump. The mogul brought him into the limelight with quite a few guest appearances on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” within the Nineties. She used her brand to help him construct his own by launching his consulting show, “Dr. Phil” in 2002.

McGraw went a step further and stated, “I don’t like a lot of what he says or does.” But when asked if he had decided who would get his vote, he replied: “I think so, but I’ll never say.”

People reacting to the interview on the Internet he tweeted“The same speech? This is so depressing. You principally haven’t any loyalty or feelings towards one or the opposite. You just wanted to talk. Narcissus.

A number of took jabs at some of the guests on Dr. Phil’s popular talk show, where he tried to help troubled teenagers. One of them said: “An act of revolt?! he is similar as these children interview.

Other he wrote“So Dr. Phil had a tantrum…. But he wants to heal people? No, Phil… stay there.

Third as well as“The man who preyed on vulnerable people in order to create a pro-Trump talk show… seems to have a point.”

As for the response, McGraw said he saw it coming and that folks are actually “shocked by all the vitriol.”
