This weekend, DeGeneres, 61, took heat on social media for attending a Dallas Cowboys game with Bush, 73. On Tuesday's episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," DeGeneres addressed the backlash.
“I have friends who don’t think the same things that I do," DeGeneres said. "When I say be kind to one another, I don’t mean only the people who think the same way you do, I mean be kind to everyone."
"Thelma & Louise" star Sarandon tweeted a quote from Out Magazine's response to DeGeneres' statements, highlighting a portion that read: “But missing the point entirely, DeGeneres framed the issue as simply a matter of her hanging out with someone with different opinions, not a man repeatedly accused of being a war criminal.”
Sarandon, 73, wasn't the only celebrity to speak out, however. Actresses Witherspoon, 43, and Bell, 39, voiced their opinions in support of DeGeneres. The two are now being called out for backing the "Finding Dory" star.
Bell and Witherspoon should be called out. Bully Boy Bush is a War Criminal. Ellen was in the wrong.
Only Susan Sarandon had the maturity and insight to see clearly on this issue.
People are dead because of Bully Boy Bush. That's the Iraqi people, that's US service members, that's so many people killed because he lied a country into war.
This is not minor.
And it's not acceptable.
He's a War Criminal and he's a failure. The people who suffered from Hurricane Katrina deserved better than Bully Boy Bush and his boy 'Brownie.'
He's a racist, he's a War Criminal, he's a menace to society.
Ellen, Reese and Kristen can take their lily White asses and grab a sheet for their heads and then rush off to the nearest KKK meeting.
I'm really surprised Reese stuck her big news in this. She's already seen -- rightly or wrongly -- as a bacwards Republican. And that's putting it kindly.
This is C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot:"
Wednesday, October 9, 2019. The destruction (attacking Iraqi
protesters) like the stupidity (Tulsi Gabbard and Ellen DeGeneres)
continues.
Starting with the topic of yesterday's snapshot, Ellen DeGeneres. A community member e-mailed to note that she had to live with Don't Ask, Don't Tell while she was serving in Iraq. She notes, "I'm not an Obama groupie, but if Ellen went to a football game with Mr. Obama, fine. He was President when Don't Ask, Don't Tell was repealed. Contrast that with the Bully Boy Bush who oversaw eight years of it. And contrast that with do nothing Ellen. She had a high profile and a daily talk show and she didn't do a damn thing to help Don't Ask, Don't Tell get overturned. When it was overturned, she was quick to get her press agent to supply quotes to every outlet. She was quick to play glory hog. She had done nothing to help those of us who served -- gay or straight -- and she has done nothing to help the average American -- gay or straight. Be kind? She has a lot of rules about kindness that allow her to be kind to a War Criminal but none of her 'be kind' rules apply to the average person." That member will be part of this week's roundtable for the gina & krista round-robin and we'll be addressing that topic and others. (Inboxes Friday morning.)

Just Ellen Degeneres hanging out with her buddy George W. Bush who slaughtered over a million human beings by launching an illegal war against #Iraq on a pack of lies. How adorable.
In the most ridiculous (or whorish? maybe she wants to be on Ellen's show?) moments around this, 1% candidate Tulsi Gabbard Tweeted and was Tweeted back.
.@TheEllenShow msg of being kind to ALL is so needed right now. Enough with the divisiveness. We can’t let politics tear us apart. There are things we will disagree on strongly, and things we agree on — let’s treat each other with respect, aloha, & work together for the people.
Jesus Christ.
Lmao the anti-war candidate!
Thoughts & Prayers for Mr. Michael Tracey 
Something tells me @mtracey will pretend he didnt see this.
Wonder how hard @jimmy_dore's stomach hurts.
Lol my thoughts exactly
Dude, what has happened to Tulsi. Thought she was a progressive. Backing off M4A and now not standing true on the one thing that is HER issue of unjust wars. This and Yang saying Dr. Oz helped people understand health.... I'm done with them both.
Honestly, I thought you'd be less charitable to the man who tricked you into going to war.
It makes me wonder, as do many things she says, whether she is being honest. I'm leaning more and more heavily towards: "no, no she isn't."
I like Tulsi. I don't love her take on this. Maybe she thinks this is a stance against cancel culture. I disagree with that.
It was the CUFI appearance earlier this year, and her endearing welcome to Modi that caused me to stop confusing my desired perception of Tulsi with what seems to be the person she is unfolding before us.
Let's all be nice to mass murderers, guys!
Tell that to the survivors of the one million dead still awaiting justice.
Love you Tulsi & everything you spread in the name of aloha. Yes we should be kind to people we disagree with but there’s a line to be drawn. A lot of us who’ve seen the suffering with NO accountability, understand there must be a limit. War crimes are those limits.
The man is a war criminal and she wants us to forgive and be civil with him. I just don’t know how she make make it I CANT
I’m not surprised. She’s about taking to everyone even those we hate. I get her ideology is strong on that, I don’t agree with it. But Bush is an ex US POTUS, he’s not been held accountable and he should. We must draw limits.
She’s saying nothing about Bush she’s talking about Ellen’s response. And if we are going to attack her we should go after every politician bc every single one has this attitude.
And I will go against any politician that do this even if is Bernie. Sorry but this was the last drop for me with Tulsi. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt several times but now i can’t trust her anymore.
Fake ass Tulsi continuing her fake ass campaign.
You can ride high atop your pony
I know you won't fall
Cause the whole thing's phoney
You can fly, swingin' from your trapeze
Scaring all the people
But you never scare me
-- "Bella Donna," written by Stevie Nicks, first appears on her album BELLA DONNA
She has so much concern, Tulsi does, for the War Criminals and War Hawks. We see that over and over from her. No 'aloha' for the Iraqi people, none for the ones who have suffered, not even any recognition of that reality. Tulsi has been nothing but hype from day one and the only good thing about her being on stage in this month's debate is that every time she opens her mouth she exposes herself a little more.
In Iraq, protests have taken place for days.

For the past 6 days of civil protest, Iraqis have been falling wounded in the rate of 42 people an hour and a total of 6100!!! Why are the global organizations silent???! Share this and raise awareness of what is happening , these are unarmed kids against fully auto weapons #Iraq
Zeina Karam and Qassim Abdul-Zahra (AP) report:
Iraq has been plunged into a new cycle of
instability that potentially could be the most dangerous this
conflict-scarred nation has faced, barely two years after declaring
victory over the Islamic State group in a war that left much of the
country in ruins and displaced tens of thousands.
The
latest bloody confrontations have killed more than 100 people in less
than seven days. But this time, the clashes do not pit security forces
against Islamic extremists, the country’s Sunnis against Shiites, or
insurgents against occupation forces.
Instead,
Iraqi security forces have been shooting at young Iraqis demanding
jobs, electricity and clean water — and an end to corruption.
This morning, REUTERS maintains, "Iraq had its calmest night since anti-government protests began more than a week ago over corruption and unemployment." They fail to note the public condemnation from elected officials in Iraq of the violence the security forces have unleashed on the protesters, but REUTERS does include this:
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo condemned the recent violence and urged Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi to “exercise maximum restraint” and “address protesters’ grievances”, the U.S. State Department said on Tuesday.
A readout of a call between the two provided by Abdul Mahdi’s office on Monday said Pompeo “expressed confidence in the Iraqi forces.”
It was an embarrassing response from the US government and the Iraqi government has released the read out as a fig leaf cover of their own actions.
Here's a variety of Tweets on the protests:
