‘Fox & Friends’ Applauds Ellen for Backing Kevin Hart: ‘Political Correctness Pushed Back!’
Ellen DeGeneres has been facing some rare and serious backlash on Friday after the daytime talk show host revealed during a new interview with Kevin Hart that she had personally called the Academy to convince them to reinstate the comic as host of this year’s Oscars. But she also has some defenders over at Fox & Friends.
After the Fox News morning show reported the story, Brian Kilmeade defended Hart for “taking a stand” when old homophobic tweets and jokes of his resurfaced last month after he had been announced as host. The Academy gave hart a chance to apologize but he initially refused, deciding instead to relinquish the opportunity.
“For Ellen to tell him, I want you to go do it, I think he goes and does it,” Kilmeade added, excitedly.
