Winfrey was slammed for the tweet throughout her mentions.

This is the second time Ive had tweet troubles, she said on Sunday.

And its the same lesson, so Jesus, I hear you.

You dont have to tell me again.

I couldnt breathe after the election, she said.

But seeing Trump and Obama together at the White House gave her a renewed sense of optimism.

I was expecting tension, awkwardness, and strain.

And President Obama was being so gracious, and I heard Donald Trump say, Hes a good man.

I heard Donald Trump say, Im going to be seeking his counsel.

I literally went [deep breath], I can breathe now, Winfrey said.

Even in your arguments with your husband and your children.

So what I should have said was, Ijust took a breath.

What I said was, Everybody take a breath #HopeLives.'

Not, Take a deep breath about… everything.
