Reese Witherspoon and Kristen Bell have officially been roped into the drama over a photo of Ellen DeGeneres and George W. Bush.

Both of the popular actors published posts on social media Tuesday supporting the beloved talk show hosts explanation as to why she was laughing it up with the former GOP president in a controversial photo taken at a Dallas Cowboys game over the weekend.

In response to the initial backlash, DeGeneres said on her show Tuesday that she and Bush are friends, noting that shes friends with a lot of people who dont share the same beliefs that I have.

A rich Hollywood liberal being friends with Bush is whatever. Not overly surprising.

But Ellen acting like she's some harbinger of peace is fucking ridiculous. She's a rich person with some rich friends. That whole thing annoys me far more than the photo.

This is why I'm really confused of why this is such a big deal now. She had him on her show not long ago when he was promoting his art on veterans. It went semi-viral about how cute they were.

Then during Trump's inauguration and McCain's funeral and basically anytime they were together, Bush and Michelle Obama's friendship went massively viral. "Look at their friendship! This is what our country needs now!" was the basic theme for everyone.

People just now getting pissed at Bush for this instead of the other times he was going viral for Ellen/Michelle are idiots. If someone was anti-Bush for years, that's one thing. At least they are consistent in their values. This sudden uproar is moronic and really showing me how certain people are, celebrities included.

Well if a war criminal is a cool dude, I guess that excuses his being a literal fucking war criminal.

Um, you do realize that Bush is the third most evil man on the planet after Putintrump and Cheney, right? Being "friends" with him should cause controversy in a polite society that doesn't advocate for murder.

Maybe I'm literally too far removed from being back home but everything I saw with the Bush/Ellen and Bush/Michelle stuff going viral was positive. The only thing I saw negative at that time was from the people/groups that have been Anti-Bush for years.

This outburst seems way more negative this time around.

The Michelle/George "how cute is this friendship!" thing was annoying, but there's at least reasons that they are going to find themselves at the same events.

Ellen's "just hanging with the pals" thing is harmless, but she's not going to be able to play off being chummy with him.

Um, he's literally a murderer who killed thousands if not millions of innocent PoC in a disgusting Middle Eastern world policing stunt. The Obamas should have nothing to do with a man like him.

Ehh.

I don't see why it's bad to say you don't want to be friends with people who share drastic ideological differences with you.
Like, be friendly and nice like you would with anyone. But I'm not sure why saying you're not their friend is a big thing for some

He's a literal PoC murderer. Quit underselling his disgusting crimes as "ideological differences." If someone has a "different ideology" regarding the rights of innocent PoC children to live then I don't think anyone should be friends with that person.
