As Twitchy told you Sunday night, Ellen DeGeneres was spotted sitting in a suite at Cowboys Stadium with former President George W. Bush. As you might imagine, video of the two sharing a laugh at the game angered a lot of people, and DeGeneres has responded to the criticism perfectly:
Yes, that was me at the Cowboys game with George W. Bush over the weekend. Here’s the whole story. pic.twitter.com/AYiwY5gTIS

Just wonderful.
If only our public discourse had a lot more of this, and a lot less of the poisonous political stuff. https://t.co/8x4XDIbUnL— Jeff Jacoby (@Jeff_Jacoby) October 8, 2019

We are now at the point where Ellen has to publicly explain why she – "gay Hollywood liberal" – was sitting next to George W. Bush – "conservative Republican president" – at the Cowboys game. And she handles it so beautifully. https://t.co/9luG06HeFN

Well done indeed. Suffice to say not everyone agreed, which makes Ellen’s point even more effective.
I’d like to see progressives try and bully Ellen for saying we should be kind to each other even when we have political disagreements (and I’m certain they will) https://t.co/z3TE7BNfGe
