Ellen & George

[Zam-Zam]

Good for them. They get it; not everyone does:

Ellen DeGeneres has responded to tweets criticizing her after being spotted with former U.S. President George Bush at a football game.

DeGeneres and Bush were spotted in Dallas Sunday with their wives, actress Portia de Rossi and former first lady Laura Bush, during the live FOX telecast of the Packers and Cowboys game.

After several photos were tweeted out showing the former president and comedian laughing with one-another, DeGeneres received some push back for talking and watching the game with Bush.

In a a video posted to her Twitter late Monday night, DeGeneres said that she and her wife were invited to attend the Dallas Cowboys by Charlotte Jones, the daughter of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

"We get to sit in this very fancy suite," DeGeneres said. "When we were invited, I was aware that I was going to be surrounded with people from very different views and beliefs. And I'm not talking about politics, I was rooting for the Packers," DeGeneres jokingly said after mentioning she is good friends with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

"People were upset. They thought why is a gay Hollywood liberal sitting next to a conservative Republican president," DeGeneres said. "I'm friends with George Bush. 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's okay."

DeGeneres used her nearly 4-minute long monologue to recall her saying of "be kind to one another.

"Just because I don't agree with someone on everything doesn't mean that I'm not going to be friends with them, DeGeneres said. "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 DeGeneres-Bush relationship isn't anything new. The former President appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in 2017 where he danced and talked about everything from Russian President Vladimir Putin to the press.

During his appearance Bush mentioned that DeGeneres and Bush's daughter, Today Show host Jenna Bush Hager, are "good buddies."

It was sad to see so much of the left attack Ellen. They seem to think that being nice to people who disagree with them somehow supports them. Yelling at and cold shouldering appears to be the desired and most appropriate action.

Yet, it's the people they yell at and condemn that are "divisive".

Yikes...

If more people followed the examples set here by Ms. DeGeneres and Mr. Bush, imagine how much nicer this world could be.

Those who don't quite get that are their own worst enemies.

She better be careful, or the left-leaning LGBT community wont let her be L anymore.

Go strike up a friendship with an abortion doctor to prove your not a hypocrite.

Sorry, I live in a different world than you.

Love the sinner, hate the sin. I'd refuse to participate in anything that'd support their work, but I could be kind and treat them humanely no problem.

I'd pray they change their stance.

 

[Zam-Zam]

She better be careful, or the left-leaning LGBT community wont let her be L anymore.

She does not appear too concerned about what the would-be bullies on twitter think.

She had this to say:

"But just because I don't agree with someone on everything doesn't mean that I'm not going to be friends with them," she said. "When I say, 'be kind to one another,' I don't only mean the people that think the same way that you do. I mean be kind to everyone."

Sounds like good advice to me.

Agreed. I can support non-partisan, outright loving behavior from anyone.

It's just becoming rarer in society today, probably much because the left controls more and more of what society is represented as via the media.

The mainstreamers have made their stances clear: Showing hate to Conservatives is virtuous. Hate them. Get in their face. They are evil scum.

So humane.

I found her statements to be classy and very honest. Too bad there was not more of that in society. What a shame that she is being slammed for acting like a grown up in this situation.

She sets a good example to emulate.

That actually is different, because very few people are willing to befriend serial murderers. Clearly you're one of them, but like I said, you're uncommon.

Another example of the left eating it's own. Gotta luv it.

Follow-up: Apparently, some celebrities are split on this:

"Thelma & Louise" star Sarandon tweeted a quote from Out Magazine's response to DeGeneres' statements, highlighting a portion that read: “But missing the point entirely, DeGeneres framed the issue as simply a matter of her hanging out with someone with different opinions, not a man repeatedly accused of being a war criminal.”

Sarandon, 73, wasn't the only celebrity to speak out, however. Actresses Witherspoon, 43, and Bell, 39, voiced their opinions in support of DeGeneres. The two are now being called out for backing the "Finding Dory" star.

"Thank you for this important reminder, Ellen!" the "Legally Blonde" star tweeted in response to DeGeneres' comments.

I must note that it was Ellen's followers that went ballistic and forced her classy response.

I have seen nothing that shows any Bush supporters were upset with them hanging out.

So, tell me who is tolerant and who is intolerant.
