Ellen DeGeneris explains her football game weekend with George W Bush

Former US president George W. Bush and Ellen DeGeneris sat next to each other at a Dallas Cowboys football game over the weekend. Due to controvery she addressed the story on her show.

The video was titled: This Photo of Ellen & George W. Bush Will Give You Faith in America Again on her show's official youtube channel.

"A lot of people were mad and they did what people do when they're mad, they tweet"

On the video Ellen read one tweet from user Matthew_Oooo that she loved.
Ellen and George Bush together makes me have faith in American again

Ellen stated:
"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."

The video ended with Ellen thanking Jerry Jones and Charlotte Jones for hosting and former president Bush and wife former First Lady Laura for a Sunday afternoon "that was so fun."

Though the explanation received a lot of applause and laughters from her studio audience not all are happy with the The VIP seating arrangement.

The Supreme Court is about to decide whether it’s legal to fire people just because they’re LGBT. I hope Ellen enjoyed her football game with the guy who put Roberts and Alito on that court. Bygones! (He also personally campaigned to get Kavanaugh appointed.) pic.twitter.com/mUwrXJsSiy

I don’t care how nice of a guy George W Bush is. He was one of our worst presidents and left our country and world in bad shape. The mess he helped create we’re still trying to dig out of. This is a bad look for @TheEllenShow. https://t.co/FMYgpbrq6A

Hey @TheEllenShow - how does it feel to watch a game with a mass murdering genocidal war criminal? https://t.co/tIdWrBGFBQ

Ellen DeGeneres laughing it up with someone who has actively tried to harm our community feels disappointing, irresponsible, and dangerous. https://t.co/tgGfmCGQ5A

the america i want to live in? in which war criminals get to enjoy football games? and don't even get me started on dubya

LOL @ her thanking jerry jones. The same Jones who is against kneeling and is a major Trump supporter.

99% of rich people, including most celebrities, don't gaf about any of that shit. they pretend they do, they tweet about it, they donate money to charity but it's all a branding opportunity for them and a way for them to feel better about themselves.

i always think of that hamptons party where soros, a koch brother, chuck schumer, one WaPo senior editor and steven spielberg were all merrily hanging out. at the end of the day, they're all friends with common class interests.

(see also how so many of them were friends with donald trump. i mean, trump's wedding was at the cover of vogue (run by bleeding heart liberal anna wintour); he was close friends with the clintons and most celebrities kissed his ass)

lol, her exec producer is a joy

Wait, what??

Idk that he is the worst President. Trump seems way worse to me. Jackson was a piece of trash (The Trail of Tears).

Didn't the Bushes oppose Trump and say he ruined the Republican party?

She is right that you sometimes need to interact with people with different beliefs. I am a socialist, most of America isn't.

Apparently Trump was never enough of a problem to stop critical Republicans from voting for him in the election.

Idk that he is the worst President.
he is though

Trump's presidency is a disaster, he is a vocal fascist and he literally has done nothing that is even moderately positive.

that said, the Iraq War was still worse than anything Trump did.

and also, there is a difference between interacting with "people with different believes" and being chummy with one of the biggest war criminals in recent history.

Edited at 2019-10-08 12:59 pm (UTC)

I'd also add that Bush stole an election (I know there were other factors) in FL and made it more acceptable for someone incompetent to be in office. That is, he wasn't the only factor but I think he helped pave the way for Trump.

"and also, there is a difference between interacting with "people with different believes" and being chummy with one of the biggest war criminals in recent history."- MTE. I have to interact with people I don't like at work. I don't hang out with them in my free time.

ita. bush/cheney were so fucking evil and literally, actually caused the deaths of thousands and thousands of people. trump is an endlessly narcissistic moron but not on that level.

He is responsible for hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths in iraq and we'll never know exactly how many because his regime refused to count them!

along with other "allies", Bush completely destroyed the Middle East. Notwithstanding the hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths there, ISIS wouldn't even exist if it weren't for him.

Bush isn’t just your coworker with “different views.” He’s a war criminal who pushed Islamophobia, homophobia, and anti-immigrant sentiment to help his buddies profit off of war. He built the foundation for Trump and was much more successful in doing evil because he knew how to play politics and Cheney was available to play the villain. This is part of his (and the republicans‘) ongoing image rehabilitation. Making no one pay for his wars or the recession got us Trump, and makes him and his allies think they’ll get away with it, too.

The only place where someone should interact with Bush is the Hague.

He was the worst for those of us who suffered due to the War on Terrorism.

at least 600k civilians died in wars he started

Not cool.

Yeah I'm not going to be kind to a fucking war criminal, rip to Ellen but I'm different

being friends with someone who has different views than you is not the same as being friends with a war criminal lmao

I don't think I've ever hated anyone enough to wish them ill as much as this puppy lover.

she wants to be liked by everyone so damn badly. i guess the lgbt movement ended for her once gay marriage got legalized

*when she started getting money

There it is

She reminds me of Mr. Peanutbutter that way--I cannot stand people who refuse to stand up for a cause/make a point at the risk of not being seen as easy-going

"Be kind to everyone"

how about no, mostly because I'm indifferent to most people
I might be polite with everyone but kind... hell no

Fuck you Ellen, go google the Iraq War’s civilian death toll then come and tell us we need to be “kind to everyone”. Dubya can and should diaf.

on brand imo

I don't know why people are shocked. Your fave 'woke' white celebs right now are going to do the same for Trump in 8 years. It'll start with the "omg I miss Trump jokes" that some of you guys did about Bush. You guys have short term memory.

America loves war criminals with 'adorable' personalities.

Evidence: The fawning over Obama.

You did not lie lol the fact that protesting the wars america has gone to or the troops even (still doesn’t compute in my mind how military service is voluntary over there, yet the troops are not considered responsible for their part in the war) is going too far, or seen as crazy, is really fucking wild

Yep! America will never get over their blind support or "hero" worship of the troops. I bet you if a war started tomorrow, all the liberals who hate Trump would do the SAME THING they did when Bush was president: "I stand by my country and president~~~~" They support being political, but not progressive or revolutionary in any way. They want the soft type of political awareness. The type that doesn't offend their own neo-liberal views.

To be fair, a lot of people who become troops are super poor and they're doing it for the money. A solid chunk of them are also white nationalists but it doesn't help that they're literally entrenched in that mindset. It's a vicious cycle and no one but the powerful comes out as the "winner"

i think trump'll be slightly different bc hopefully his obvious dementia will have him shitting himself in public or whatever.

the elite nyc social echelons will take ivanka back though and the people who laundered trump's rep will get six-figure speaking fees.

As much as I like Obama, I cannot forgive the US involvement in Syria. First, we ignored the civil war for about three years and then all of a sudden, under Obama’s watch, decide to bomb the country to pieces with drone strikes that killed possibly thousands of civilians. He can’t talk about being sad for American children dying and then go bomb a country with Muslim children. And now under Dump, the US is leaving Syria and betraying the Kurdish fighters who are supposed to be our Allies. US “Manifest Destiny” policy is the worst thing about the world.

these are the same liberals who proudly still love Obama, noted Peace Prize winner who once dropped 26,000 bombs on 1 year alone. when will your faves? /sarcasm

these people live in a world where they think america keeps its bullshit inside its borders when it's not. the nature of america is a genocidal, murdering settler colony and the violence it exports abroad is the violence it perfected on stolen land for 200+ years.

America loves war criminals with 'adorable' personalities.
it's easy to not gaf about war crimes when foreign policy is something liberals treat as an inconvenient detail they can easily ignore. i'm called a "troll" here when i remind people that progressive queen Warren voted for Trump's military budget twice and has a horribly history when it comes to foreign policy (especially when it comes to Palestine). those things should disqualify anyone from being called a "progressive" and yet......

Yup.

I could understand a morbid fascination with someone like Bush, wishing to examine a real life sociopath up close. But this ain't it.

why would anyone fawn over or idolize presidents. they are all war criminals. and guess what, if yalls fave bernie sanders became president he will eventually be a war criminal as well.

THIS!

Trump is gonna get his channel once he's out of office and people will act like his presidency never happened. I dont even wanna know what kind of interviews and content hes gonna have.

Unless he gets arrested. I hope so, especially since Russian operatives literally popped open champagne when trump got elected and said "they made America great again"

Out magazine posted about it on FB and the comments were TRASH defending George Bush. Gays don't deserve rights.

further proof that a great deal of americans (not all, so don’t lynch me) only ever truly realized how bad their presidents could be when trump came around. The bushes have been shit for a long ass time but they’re forgiven or highly regarded by a great number of people from both parties. Fucking mess lol. Doesn’t give me any hope that America could ever change if they think like this. Maybe the younger generations are not so stupid, I honestly don’t know.

Yup. The 2016 election posts reaaaally showed me that gringos are more than happy to look the other way to the country's attrocities as long as they don't affect them. They literally drove a commenter here away who was from Iraq and refused to support Hillary... the same one who voted FOR the Iraq war that destroyed her country. But ya know...

What the heeeell I had no idea that had happened, that’s awful...

The 2016 election solidified it for me and continues to solidify that a lot of people don't don't really get it. Because it seems like a lot of people are worried about Trump looking bad than the harm he's causing.

Yeah that's why the whole automatic anger about third party voters being responsible for Trump bugs me because it ignores the harsh reality a lot of people have to face. I had several friends who said that they couldn't bring themselves to vote for Hillary because of the trauma and damage she has done for their families. I am not going to blame or penalize them for it and I'm not going to imply that they are why we have Trump when Trump hurts us too.
