During her softball interview with Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine on Monday, self-avowed Hillary Clinton supporter Ellen DeGeneres bemoaned a supposed double standard against the former Secretary of State: “So Hillary is, it seems – and I've said this before – that she is held to a different standard than Donald Trump is. Would you agree with that?”
Kaine predictably agreed: “Yeah, I think that's true.” DeGeneres continued: “...because she’s an amazing woman but there's so much judgment on her charm, her personality, whatever...” Kaine lamented: “Do you smile enough? You know, ‘She doesn't look presidential, does she fellas?’ Which is, you know, what Donald Trump said.... But that is a challenge that she's had to deal with her whole life and she's got to deal with today.”
DeGeneres ranted against Clinton being accountable for her scandals: “So I mean, because the thing about what she's being attack for is not releasing the e-mails or not – whatever, you know, whatever it is today – and yet, Donald Trump doesn't release his tax returns. So why is he not – why isn't he getting attacked for not releasing his tax returns?”
Kaine went along with the fiction of Clinton getting worse treatment than Trump: “To the same degree. And you know, it should happen.”

He then recited campaign talking points:
And what I often say, Ellen, to people, if you want to know the character of somebody in public life, the way to do this, look and see if they have a passion that started before they were in politics and then look and see if they've held on to that passion throughout their life, whether they were winning or losing or in office or not. And Hillary has had this passion for empowering families and kids and measuring society by how families and kids are doing. And she has held on to that from the time she was in a Methodist youth group in the suburbs of Chicago to today. That’s what she's worried about when she goes to sleep, it’s what she’s worried about when she gets up, and it’s what she'll be thinking about when she's president. And that's a pretty good way to tell who she is, and I see that every day.
DeGeneres gushed: “Yeah, well, that's – you know, that alone to me when you look at, like you said, just you know, how long she's been doing it and how much passion she has for it.”
Who cares what Ellen the DEGENERATE has to say?
Matter of fact, you are EVEN WITH YOUR SHOW!!
I never really have understood Ellen’s sense of humor.
This Hillary joke, it just seems flat to me.
My 6 year old brother has more talent than that *itch...and more smarts, too...
It’s true that, to the Left, Clinton is being held to a “different standard” ... Certainly “different” than the media love fest the Left expects from the “objective” media!
Iv
she is held to a different standard than Donald Trump is.
Actually She is Right, Hillary is not held to ANY Standards while Mr Trump and the rest of America is. If it wasn’t for Double Standards Hollywood wouldn’t have any either, and make NO MISTAKE, the Mainstream Media is HOLLYWOOD.
“if you want to know the character of somebody in public life, the way to do this, look and see if they have a passion that started before they were in politics and then look and see if they’ve held on to that passion throughout their life,”
Yes, Hillary has had a lust for power her entire life, no doubt about it.
That is the new ‘talking point’. Apparently Helen got the memo.
I find it amazing, too, that this corrupt and evil bitch hasn’t been held to ANY standard by the media.
She is the voice of DORY in FINDING NEMO and FINDING DORY.
After watching those movies, If I had been the SHARKS, I would have eaten her just to get her to shut up.
(oops) Helen, Ellen, what difference does it make ?
“So I mean, because the thing about what she’s being attack for is not releasing the e-mails or not – whatever, you know, whatever it is today – and yet, Donald Trump doesn’t release his tax returns. So why is he not – why isn’t he getting attacked for not releasing his tax returns?”
If Ellen doesn’t know the difference, she’s either a simpleton, or she believes her audience to be. That’s the only explanation that makes any sense.
Are these people on drugs? Charm and personality? That's laughable.
The high standard of not passing out.
Such a command of the issues, no wonder the house fraus value her opinions.
I may be mistaken, but wasn't Hillary supposed to do the show with Ellen?
ellen degenerate can take a leap for all I care. It is amazing that people watch and listen to her spew.
For once I agree with Ellen.
Hillary’s lies are no longer being accepted as the stone cold truth. They’re seen as lies. Great big freaking lies!
Hillary’s illness... folks are on to her.
She has pneumonia, but we’re all pretty sure that isn’t the primary diagnosis. We’re thinking it’s just a normal complication spinning off her primary diagnosis.
Hillary’s eMail claims are just out there in another universe. It the universe of perpetual lies one stacked on another until you can climb to that universe from here.
I could go on, but this woman bores me, and she’ll be out of all our lives in 48 days.
Hillary is being judged differently. FINALLY!
Thank you Jesus, and I’m not being sacrilegious. I really mean it. Thank you Heavenly Father.
Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, free at last.
Poor Hillary will have to limit her destruction to family and friends now. Forsaking the normal thought here, I’ll simply say they deserve it, each and every one.
As for the grandchildren, they don’t. They will in time.
We’ll grace them in.
Of course Hillary s set to a higher standard.
If anyone of us pulled half the crap Hillary has, we would be in Leavenworth serving 20 Years.
Ellen wants to get in on Huma’s carpet munching.
