Ellen Addresses Eric Trump’s ‘Deep State’ Accusations

Politics aside, Ellen DeGeneres is hilarious. I used to watch her show. That is, until she got way too political and started having guests on like Hillary Clinton. The whole dabbing debacle was it for me. I couldn’t handle it anymore. She’s not as bad as say, Jimmy Kimmel, Rosie O’Donnell or Chelsea Handler, but I’m just sick of it.

However, I thought Eric Trump’s tweet was kind of absurd. This happened a few days ago.

Shocking… once again, here are the @Twitter “suggestions” of who I should follow. #DeepState pic.twitter.com/6XYUS02j34

Some say he was accusing her of being part of the “Deep State.” Others say he was suggesting that the “Deep State” is making those people pop up in his suggested section.

Twitter is operated by libs– no doubt– but I think this all has more to do with the algorithm. If you follow political people and TWEET about political people, political people are going to pop up in your suggestions.

Just saying.

Still, Ellen addressed the tweet during her monologue Thursday.

“If you know me at all, you know I don’t pay attention to politics, but unfortunately politics pays attention to me,” she said.

“First of all, which one is Eric? Did he kill the elephant or the cheetah? Which one? I don’t know. So second, what is the Deep State? Is it near Dollywood? Cause I’m in, if it is,” she joked.

“Apparently, Eric Trump thinks that Twitter is trying to trick him into following liberals,” she continued. “Apparently, I’m part of some secret government conspiracy called the ‘Deep State.’ And so, I found — have you heard of Deep State anybody? Neither had I.”

She ultimately said she’s too busy to be part of some elaborate government scheme.

“I just wanna say, Eric, I am honored that you think that I’m powerful enough to be part of a government conspiracy. I am sorry to disappoint you, I am not part of the Deep State,” she said. “Even if somebody wanted me to be involved, I don’t have that kind of time. I’ve got my gay agenda meetings on Mondays. I’ve got, on Wednesday Beyonce and I host an Illuminati brunch. And then Portia and I on the weekends are desperately trying to have a baby, so I can’t. I don’t have time.”

Heh– OK. Illuminati brunch made me chuckle.
