....Elton John has come to the defense of his friend Ellen DeGeneres after the talk show host was swarmed with left-wing criticism.... The “Rocket Man” singer piggybacked off DeGeneres’ message of tolerance and even offered praise for Mr. Bush and President Donald Trump for humanitarian efforts addressing HIV/AIDS globally.

“Unfortunately, what our democracy has become now is that it’s not OK to have different opinions than yours and that is not healthy,” John said, according to Fox News.
“George Bush has made a lot of mistakes. I made a lot of mistakes. Ellen DeGeneres has made a lot of mistakes,” he said

John also heaped praise on Mr. Bush for launching the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR...
“PEPFAR came from the Republicans. People have to remember that,” the musician said, noting that the initiative is “the most incredible thing a Republican president has done on a philanthropic level.”
According to Fox News, John said that he appreciated Trump’s continuation of PEPFAR, though he might not agree with most of the president’s policies.
Elton John will now be called every name in the book by the far left..who claims to care about homos
I’ll admit to not being a fan of Ellen DeGeneres at all. Just seeing her face makes my skin crawl. I’ll leave the place due to seeing it.
Here, it seems she has said something I approve of. I can’t avoid saying something decent in return. I appreciate what she said knowing she would get blow-back.
John is good to back her here, and to say some decent things about Bush and Trump too.
If Ellen DeGeneres says decent things, a lot of people on the Left will hear it.
It wasn’t an endorsement, but many on the Left will hear these comments and it might open up at least some of them to taking another look at Trump.
Can’t hoit...
Elton John played at Rush Limbaugh’s wedding a few years back.
He’s one of the moderate liberal celebrities.
Elton has never been a two faced phony...
“There is hope of sanity even in the Hollywood left. Thanks be to God.”
Agreed.
The left thinks everyone’s supposed to hate Trump with every fiber of their being. Saying anything nice about any of the good things he’s done is completely out of bounds.
He sang at Rush’s last wedding.
So Ellen likes Bush, tell us something we don’t already know:-)
“He sang at Rush’s last wedding.”
And, befriended Hannity when they were both living in Atlanta.
I see Elton John as a fair minded person...regardless his chosen lifestyle. Quite unlike the hateful left in this country.
I have been disgusted with these two a lot. But I have new respect for them, for their willingness to take on the wrath of a mob of some of the most horrid people in America.
Well, the bespectacled one did
Perform at Rush Limbaugh’s wedding
for a cool one million bucks...
Well said and I agree with you.
Plan to be thrown under the bus, Elton, probably from a sexual encounter 40 years ago.
Yes, of course, as long as it’s homosexual, that part of fine
But everything else, pfffffffffffttttttttttttt
EJ has taken a lot of abuse over the years for all kinds of reasons. I think he has reached a point where he doesn’t really care all that much. He is retiring from the concert tours. His politics have generally been center left, which is to say wrong but not nuts. And his political errors and personal life aside, he has done a lot of good work for charity. I wish him well.
