‘Be kind to everyone’: Ellen DeGeneres defends hanging out with George Bush
The LGBT community criticised the comedian for associating with the former president who has a dismal record on gay rights
Ellen DeGeneres typically kicks off her show with a set of jokes. Yesterday, she took a different approach.
The 61-year-old comedian responded to online criticism brewing over her hanging out with former president George W Bush at a Dallas Cowboys football game on Sunday. Critics – who are predominantly part of the LGBT community – derided DeGeneres for getting close to a president who actively stood against the legalization of same sex marriage.
