Photos circulated of the pair sitting together in the owner’s suite, which prompted some on social media to question why she would be hanging out with the former president, whose politics run counter to hers.
“They thought, ‘Why is a gay Hollywood liberal sitting next to a conservative Republican president?,” DeGeneres said in a clip from the. “A lot of people were mad. And they did what people do when they’re mad: they tweet.” Rather than focusing on the negative, DeGeneres shared a positive tweet that read, “Ellen and George Bush together makes me have faith in America again.”
“Here’s the thing: I’m friends with George Bush,” she explained of the former president, who was previously a guest on her show in 2017. “In fact, I’m friends with a lot of people who don’t share the same beliefs that I have. We’re all different and I think we’ve forgotten that that’s OK that we’re all different.
“For instance, I wish people wouldn’t wear fur. I don’t like it, but I’m friends with people who wear fur,” the host continued, adding, “But just because I don’t agree with someone on everything doesn’t mean that I’m not going to be friends with them. When I say be kind to one another, I don’t mean only the people that think the same way that you do. I mean be kind to everyone.”
not 'having the same beliefs' is the same as being friends with a man (war criminal!) who murdered 100s of thousands, tortured, ruined countries, and collapsed the US economy! What kind of 'kindness' do you call that?! Friends with a war criminal! where's your integrity Ellen?💩
F her. I like this haha
She’s creepy.
It’s amazing how lost and petty people have gotten.
The left should embrace their bumper sticker mentality
Shes a big phony...
How bout no?
Everyone sounds so justified in this thread. LOL.
I sat next to a guy at a ballgame once. I'm sorry to say, the friendship didn't last.
Spoiler: it sucks as much shit as you think it does
'Oh you got 5,000 Americans killed for no reason? In possibly the worst blunder ever committed by an American president? How's the popcorn?'
Bye Ellen.
No thanks. Aren’t we done with her?
Wealth has an undocumented side effect: 'Tone-deafness'. The condition renders the afflicted unable to see that they suffer from it, while everyone else can see otherwise.
No thanks
I believe Ellen sees the best in people. I'm sure history will look back in 500 years and say George Bush did the right thing in removing Dictator Saddam from power.
'I mean, I'm rich. What was I supposed to do?'
let's not. and let's not be okay with normalizing war criminals
The moist kindness of water boarding.
Ugh.
Thank you Ellen. It’s time we stopped listening to partisan idiots, like the political reporters at RS.
It's called being an adult. Many of those have forgotten how to be one especially when they can hide behind the semi anonymity of the internet.
The truth is those piling on her would be the first in line to take a selfie with W.(or ANY US President) if given a chance ....
You’re anti foreign policing war or you’re not. See beyond blind partisanship. Obama too bombed the region and misfired drones into civilian buildings. No Twiiter backlash that Ellen is friends with Obama. Or Hillary Clinton who identical to Bush is pro military intervention.
What's wrong with having friends, and it should be 'our choice'!!
Nope. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis were killed and thousands of our own guys as well on a war based on lies. Bush led this tragic event. Also ignored warnings about 9/11. Shame on Ellen for rehabilitating this lying war criminal.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Ford...his name is Ford.
Maybe having trump is making is making ppl think Bush wasn't so bad after all 😂😂😂
You know how bad Donald Trump is when you see things like these.
Be kind to Iraqi children by not rehabbing their murderer’s image
Haters gonna hate
BeBest 🤠
I missed that episode of Sesame Street where they told us we should be kind to war criminals, I guess.
Friendly reminder that GW Bush took money from Salem Bin Laden to start Arbusto Energy
🙄🙄🙄
This is some major league gaslighting
All the lunatics must of bombarded TheEllenShow with nasty emails! Ellen doesn't have to explain herself psychos!
elitists being elitists
Be kind to someone who works against lesbians, yes
