If you were watching the Cowboys/Packers game this weekend, you may have been surprised to see Ellen DeGeneres and former President George W. Bush sitting right next to each other and shown on the Jumbotron.
People on social media saw it and were – you guessed it — outraged. One side was mad at Ellen for sitting next to a conservative. Another was angry at Bush for sitting next to a gay Hollywood liberal.
What gives?
On her show, Ellen explained that she ended up in Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones’ box as a guest of his daughter. She also talks about her friendship with former President George W. Bush.
In a funny and kind-spirited monologue, she admits that she is friends with people who do not share all of her viewpoints.
This used to be basic politeness, folks. Regrettably, now it is so rare to see people who’ll give people with opposing political views any respect at all.
Watch her humorous bit about sitting next to the former President below. And maybe, be inspired to reach across the political aisle yourself this week.
