Dr. Phil’s shock U-turn on Donald Trump endorsement after ‘rebelling’ against Kamala Harris for ‘snubbing’ him

Dr. Phil McGraw has revealed that his appearance at Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden in late October was “an act of rebellion” against Kamala Harris.

While appearing in an episode of Piers Morgan’s Uncensored On the talk show, the 74-year-old TV personality insisted he gave his 17-minute speech to tell Harris, 60, after his requests to interview her ahead of the election were not answered.

“I asked to speak to Kamala Harris more than 25 times and never got a yes, no, maybe,” he said.

The father of two continued, “I offered to give the same speech at a Harris rally,” McGraw insisted, explaining that he offered to “cross out Trump’s name and write in Harris’ name.”

During his speech, which he made clear was not a show of support for Trump, he described the former president as “tough as an old army boot” and said he was not a “bully.”

While speaking with Morgan, McGraw revealed that a Harris campaign official eventually contacted him the morning after his speech at Trump’s rally in New York.

After being asked if he would be interested in speaking at a Harris rally in Washington, DC McGraw said he told the staffer, “Absolutely, tell me where and when to be, and I will have a transcript of the speech take it and give it at a Harris meeting.’

“I never heard another word when they found out I meant it,” he claimed.

McGraw therefore remained steadfast in his belief that his speech at Trump’s rally was not intended to “endorse Donald Trump.”

“I don’t like celebrity endorsements,” the talk show host explained.

Still, McGraw said he “doesn’t back down from what ‘he said'”[at Trump’s rally] one iota, not one word.”

“I would still go to a Harris rally and say the exact same thing,” he added.

When asked directly if he has made a decision on who he will vote for, the star replied: “I think so, but I’ll never tell.”

While appearing on an episode of Piers Morgan’s talk show Uncensored, the 74-year-old talk show host insisted he made his 17-minute speech to dedicate it to Harris, 60, after his requests for her prior the election interview had not been answered.

“I asked to speak to Kamala Harris more than 25 times and never got a yes, no, maybe,” he said.

“Whoever it is, we are all Americans, and once that process runs its course and America elects a president… we need to stand behind that person and support him,” McGraw told listeners.

Speaking at Trump’s rally in New York, McGraw made it clear that he “does not like or agree with everything Donald J. Trump does or says.”

‘No person is perfect. We do not strive for perfection. We strive for excellence. “But you don’t have to love everything about someone to love them, and the last thing they need is celebrity approval,” he said.

McGraw also talked about how differently the media handles celebrity endorsements when a star endorses Trump versus Harris.

“I’d like to say it’s equal on both sides, but I guarantee you that if Beyoncé, George Clooney, De Niro and Rizzo come out and say they’re for Kamala Harris, have you read or heard anything in the media in which criticism is expressed? It?’ he asked. “No, but look what happens in the morning when people find out I’m here to talk to you.”

The father of two continued: “I offered to give the same speech at a Harris rally,” McGraw insisted, explaining that he offered to “cross out Trump’s name and write in Harris’ name.”

Harris has received strong support from Oscar winners, Grammy superstars and musical icons, including Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, Ricky Martin, Charli XCX, Bruce Springsteen, George Clooney and Eminem.

Meanwhile, public figures such as Kanye West, Dennis Quaid, Elon Musk, Kansas City Chief kicker, Harrison Butker, Russell Brand, Savannah Chrisley, Kelsey Grammar, Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock have said they are voting for Trump.
