On Sunday, Ellen DeGeneres attended a Dallas Cowboys football game. It was noteworthy because of whom she was seated next to: former President George W. Bush. The pair could be seen in pictures and a video clip enjoying the afternoon together. (Their respective partners, Arrested Development actress Portia di Rossi and former First Lady Laura Bush, were there too.)

A slice of social media lost its collective mind over the weekend after a photo of Ellen DeGeneres at Sunday’s NFL game between the Packers and the Cowboys surfaced online.

The problem? The self-proclaimed “gay Hollywood liberal” was sitting next to former President George W. Bush.

Some Twitter users vehemently criticized her for sharing the Republican’s company, calling him a “war criminal.” But DeGeneres was not having it.

Ellen DeGeneres is leveling the playing field.

Eagle-eyed fans spotted the comedian sitting next to former President George W. Bush during Sunday's matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers.

The unlikely duo had many fans throwing a flag on the play. "Ellen, this isn’t just a simple difference of opinion. George Bush, his administration, and his colleagues actively discriminated and worked against the LGBT community," one Twitter user wrote, while another added, "Really, really low standards there Ellen, and pretty pathetic."
