Ellen DeGeneres didn’t mince words when she appeared on ABC News to promote her new movie “Finding Dory.” Asked about the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, Degeneres aptly described the candidate, saying he’s “a bully.”
He’s a bully. He represents a bully. He can deny that but I think anybody that looks up the definition of a bully (will see that). He says, ‘Oh, I just attack back. If someone attacks me I’m gonna attack back.’ I’m not saying anything about Republicans – I’m not anti-Republican, I’m not anti anything. I’m pro human being. I just don’t like bullies.”
DeGeneres, who has hosted Hillary Clinton, John McCain, President Obama, and Bernie Sanders on her daytime talk show, said she would book Trump as a guest, but doubts he would ever take her up on the offer.
“Sure, I’d have him on the show,” she said. “I don’t think he’d do the show but I would have him on.”
