TODD: So this will make a lot of people who were supporters of President Trump uncomfortable, and yet we must be truthful with one another. One of the areas in which I broke with the president was his decision to start that commission that went about banning television shows and, you know, it was very controversial to begin with.<\/p>\n

But when he founded the Pro-American Speech-only Commission and then went into Hollywood and, I mean, it was unseemly to see these arrests and, you know, the vans unmarked pulling A-list actors into them for the crime of speaking out politically. That was a chilling moment in American history that… Oh, wait, that never happened. Oh. Wait. Wait. I\u2019m sorry.<\/p>\n

I was living in the head of people who live in Hollywood. Dang it. That\u2019s a weird place. All dusty with cocaine and pretend dystopia. Ellen DeGeneres. I\u2019ve never seen her show; I\u2019m so proud of that. I\u2019ve never seen it. There\u2019s a lot of shows. I\u2019ve never seen hers, not one, not a single episode. So I can\u2019t judge.<\/p>\n

I saw a clip of one. So, her show has been canceled. She, according to The Hill, has someone to blame for this. “In an interview with NBC\u2019s Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, DeGeneres told Guthrie that recent controversy surrounding her show Ellen wasn\u2019t the main reason why she ended her program, citing the administration of former President Trump and changes in society as the reasons why.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Because President Trump changed society. He wasn\u2019t the reflection of society. He changed it. One man. Right. He had nothing to do with this. You see what I\u2019m talking about, the room dusty with cocaine and dystopia and Trump everywhere and pulling people into unmarked vans. Certainly not low ratings and the toxic work scandal.<\/p>\n

Oh, is it? So the toxic work scandal. Remember this? DeGeneres said Thursday, “I\u2019d also have to say, if anybody else was saying it, it was really interesting because I\u2019m a woman, and it did feel very misogynistic.” Well, number one, what do you mean woman? That\u2019s a biological anachronism. What are you talking about?<\/p>\n

She apparently ran in a place of employment where a black woman who used to work on her program told BuzzFeed news, BuzzFeed, she experienced racist comments, actions, and microaggressions. I don\u2019t know what a “microaggression” is. I know what the word means. I just I\u2019ve never seen one proven. When she was hired, a senior-level producer told her and another black employee, “Oh, wow. You both have box braid. I won\u2019t I don\u2019t get you two confused.”<\/p>\n

Huh. At a work party, this woman said that one of the main writers told her, “I\u2019m sorry, I only know the names of the white people who work here.” Another coworker “awkwardly laughed it off instead of coming to her defense.” There are people who worked around Ellen who said her whole “be nice” thing? It was a great big dodge. Now, listen, I\u2019m just…<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t have it. Everyone in Hollywood is just as nice as they seem on their face, and it\u2019s not like they go behind closed doors and, you know, do a Harvey Weinstein or a… How many other names can we name? I\u2019m not accusing Ellen of doing that. I\u2019m just pointing out that Hollywood is made up of people who pretend for a living.<\/p>\n
