But Just because I don’t agree with someone on everything doesn’t mean that I am not going to be friends with them. When I say be kind to one another, I don’t mean only the people who think the same way that you do. I mean be kind to everyone. Doesn’t matter.
So uh, this weekend I went to Dallas for the Cowboys game. … This is, I took a video of who, who, was next to me. … (President George W.

People were upset, they thought why is a gay, Hollywood liberal sitting next to a conservative Republican President. … But a lot of people were mad, and they did what people do when they’re mad, they tweet. But here is one tweet that I love. This person says “Ellen and George Bush together makes me have faith in America again.” … (Cheers) … 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 OK that we’re all different. … But Just because I don’t agree with someone on everything doesn’t mean that I am not going to be friends with them. When I say be kind to one another, I don’t mean only the people who think the same way that you do. I mean be kind to everyone. Doesn’t matter.
