DEGENERES THANKS BILL O’REILLY FOR SUPPORT

Ellen DeGeneres has thanked conservative Fox News host Bill O’Reilly for standing up for her and against the so-called family group One Million Moms, which has urged a boycott of J.C. Penney for its decision to hire the openly lesbian performer as its spokesperson. After playing a clip of O’Reilly commenting, “This J.C. Penney thing is a witch hunt and it shouldn’t happen,” DeGeneres addressed O’Reilly and remarked, “You didn’t really make it clear if you were going to shop at J.C. Penney or not but if you do, you can use my employee discount any time you want. That’s for you Bill. Thank you so much.”
