Just weeks before the Iowa Caucus, talk show host Ellen DeGeneres again gave Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton a softball platform to promote her candidacy. At one point, DeGeneres reiterated her endorsement of Clinton: “And you know what a supporter I am. I think that you’re as smart as can be, I think you are qualified, I think you stand for everything that I want in a president.”
Back in September, DeGeneres brought Clinton on for a similar fawning sit-down in New York’s Rockefeller Plaza that had the feel of campaign rally. The liberal host told Clinton that she didn’t have to answer any more questions about the e-mail scandal: “I actually don't think you need to. It's just that people keep bringing it up. They have not found a thing. They keep saying they’ve found something, but then we don’t hear anything about it. So they haven’t found anything.”
