Ellen DeGeneres: ‘Yes, that Was Me at the Cowboys Game with George W. Bush Over the Weekend’

EXCERPT:

DeGENERES: “But a lot of people were mad. And they do what people do when they’re mad, they tweet. But here’s one tweet that I loved, this person says, 'Ellen and George Bush together makes me have faith in America again.'
(Applause)
Exactly! Here’s the thing. 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 that we’ve forgotten that that’s okay, that we’re all different. For instance, I wish people wouldn't wear fut. I don't like it, but I'm friends with people who wear fur. I'm friends with people who are furry, as a matter of fact. I have friends who should tweeze more.
(Laughter)
But just because I don’t agree with someone on everything doesn’t mean I’m not going to be friends with them. 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. Doesn't matter."
