A slice of social media lost its collective mind over the weekend after a photo of Ellen DeGeneres at Sunday’s NFL game between the Packers and the Cowboys surfaced online. The problem: The self-proclaimed “Hollywood liberal” was sitting next to former President George W Bush. Some Twitter users vehemently criticised her for sharing the Republican’s company, calling him a “war criminal”. But DeGeneres was not having it. “Here’s the thing: I’m friends with George Bush,” she told her studio audience at a taping for The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “Just because I don’t agree with someone on everything doesn’t mean that I’m not going to be friends with them,” she continued. While some doubled down on scolding the entertainer for standing by Bush, others came to her defence, including Bless This Mess actor and repeat Ellen DeGeneres Show guest Dax Shepard, who simply replied “PREACH!” in the comments under the clip.
