A TikToker has clarified that she does not support Kamala Harris after she was featured in the VP's townhall with Oprah Winfrey last week. 

A video by Blaire Allison where she discussed the high cost of living was shown on Winfrey's townhall with Harris in Michigan last week.

'I don't understand how people are affording life right now,' Blaire said in the clip shown on Thursday's event, which Blaire originally posted in November 2023.

But the right-wing influencer has now shared that she does not support Harris - and did not give permission for her video to be used in the campaign broadcast. 

'So I got my four seconds of fame on the Oprah Winfrey show and of all people to be her guest, let me show you who it was,' Braise, a Donald trump supporter, said in a new TikTok clip as she pointed to an image of Harris during the townhall.

Blaire then imitated Harris' mannerisms, mocking the Democrat, as she added: 'To my Americans: Let me make something perfectly clear, OK? I do not support Harris for president.

'I want to be unburdened by who has been in the White House the last three and a half years. OK?  

'As I stand here today, on this stage, standing on this stage today, the day after yesterday, I just want you to know, OK, how I stand and how I stand today is that I do not support Harris for president.'

Blaire's video denouncing Harris has been viewed more than 300,000 times on TikTok and over two million times on X. 

In a follow-up TikTok, Blaire said she 'had no clue' that her video would be played during Winfrey's conversation with the Democratic nominee for president.

'I have made it very clear I don't support Kamala Harris at all,' the right wing influencer said.

'I wish there were rules in place where national television shows must be granted permission before using a creator's content. Or at least, they should notify the creator before airing it on National TV.'

Winfrey recreated her popular talk show for one night only last week to campaign for Harris' White House bid.

Harris looked for a boost with persuadable and less-motivated voters as she participated in a livestream to focus on her plans to cut costs for the middle class, restore a national right to abortion and address gun violence.

The event, billed as 'Unite for America,' sought to tap into the same energy as long-running Winfrey’s talk show, which drove bestseller lists and allowed celebrities to share their softer side and everyday people to share stories of struggle and inspiration.

It was a who's who of Hollywood A-listers including Bryan Cranston, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Jennifer Lopez, Tracee Ellis Ross, Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep, who Zoomed in.

The event comes as Harris is working to continue to share her biography and governing philosophy with voters during her abbreviated presidential campaign, with early voting already underway in some states. 

Winfrey ended with a call 'for all decent people, for all caring people' to back Harris, saying of Trump, 'We’re better than this.'
