Ellen DeGeneres Whines Over ‘Amazing’ Hillary Clinton Being Held to ‘Different Standard’

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.”

She certainly is held to a different standard!
James Comey said that loud and clear.

I actually sort of liked her in her original TV show.

So you're the one that liked that drek. Do you wish she could go after that 'big ball of yarn' again?

Ellen's always sucked even if she would have left her sexuality and shitty politics out of it.

expecting the candidate to remain standing is not considered pushing the limits of any ‘standard’

If she was a man, she’d be in prison.

Wow. She should have gone with the bottle in front of me instead of the frontal lobotomy.

She’s right. If any of us had committed the crimes Clintoon has committed or committed perjury as many times as Clintoon has, we’d be in prison and they would have thrown away the key.

So why is he not – why isn't he getting attacked for not releasing his tax returns?”

I didn't know there was reason to think that Trump's tax returns contain classified information or even indicate that he committed treason. Hillary's emails, however, contain evidence of both.

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 that's a pretty good way to tell who she is, and I see that every day.

Okay, so Hillary has some campaign staff who really get into writing fiction. When you push aside the fluffy emotionalism of this passage, nothing solid is left. I do not see why this is a reason to vote for Hillary.

The Left would love to build a case that Hillary is the poor victim. They’re hoping that victim Hillary will overshadow criminal Hillary. More from the playbook that is yesterday’s bag of tricks. More people will see Hillary as a dinosaur from the past.

Hey Ellen: shut your trap.

Oh, and since you're in favor of homosexual / lesbian marriage:

Ellen is right. Hillary is held to a different standard than Donald Trump. And it is much lower than his.

Yes, a peasant would be thrown in jail for not paying a speeding ticket. She’s done much worse things and is free to run for president.

She sure looks manly. Guess she figured out a long time ago she needn’t cut anything off to be a man.

Ellen wears men’s clothing. Just another indication that “transgenderism” is just the logical conclusion of homosexuality.

Important point. Makes sense. They’re so against G-d. I’ve argued with people that Deuteronomy 22:5 states G-d’s against us terrorizing our bodies, but they always answer, “If you wear a shirt of two cloths, you’re committing an ‘abomination’”.

She’s painfully unfunny to me and that had nothing to do with her sexual orientation.
