Leftists are attacking Ellen DeGeneres on the grounds of homophobia. Take a moment to let that sink in.

Ellen interviewed Kevin Hart about the Oscars nonsense (see Jerry Seinfeld: The Academy are the Big Losers, Not Kevin Hart and There’s a New Poll on Kevin Hart. Leftists Won’t Like the Results.). Where the host -- horror of horrors -- actually defended the comedian.

DeGeneres went on to defend Hart against what The Upside star felt was a malicious social media campaign to derail his career and urged him to rethink his decision on stepping down as Oscars host. “As a gay person. I am sensitive to all of that. You’ve already expressed that it's not being educated on the subject...you have grown, you have apologized, you are apologizing again right now. You’ve done it. Don’t let those people win — host the Oscars.”

"Those people" were none too thrilled at having Ellen call him out. Or Kevin Hart being given a platform... where he apologized again. Here are some of "those people." Bear in mind the offensive tweets and statement were from years ago.

I see. So, there isn't a specific number of apologies to make it okay? You can just wake up and say to yourself, "I'm feeling pretty bitchy today. Let's see whose old tweets I can dig up to make me feel better about myself."

This tweet is my favorite. Mainly because I love how being "respectful" in politics to some on the left is almost hate speech. But also the attitude that because Ellen is gay, everything she does ever has to be about her gayness. As opposed to hosting a talk show the exact same way a straight person would. That attitude seems self-marginalizing to me. But I also get easily confused by the ever-changing rules.

All Ellen did was call out the outrage mob for what it was. People looking for attention. Kudos to her for doing so. We need more of it. Much more.
