Ellen Won’t Be Hosting Donald Trump on Her Show: ‘He’s Against Everything That I Stand For’ – WATCH

Matt Lauer sat down with Ellen on Friday to reflect on her career and talked about her coming out 20 years ago, and the most difficult things about it:

“There were death threats and that was negative. I’ll look at that as a negative. The biggest thing was I lost my career. For three years I could not work, was not offered one thing. I was running out of money, and I didn’t know if I was going to work again. I was 45 years old, and I was like, this doesn’t look good. And then I just thought I gotta do something about this. It taught me compassion. It taught me that I was strong enough to start all over again, and it was the greatest thing that ever happened to me.”

They also talked politics. Lauer asked about Donald Trump and Ellen said that while she has met him she would not like to have him on the show.

Said Ellen:

“I’m not going to change his mind. He’s against everything that I stand for. We need to look at someone else who looks different than us and believes in something that we don’t believe in and still accept them and still let them have their rights.”

Bangladesh Police Arrest IT Chief Of Group Blamed For Gay Activists’ Deaths

Chief of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s counter-terrorism unit Monirul Islam on Tuesday announced that they had apprehended the alleged head of information technology for the al Qaeda-inspired militant group Ansarullah Bangla Team, which has been blamed for the brutal hacking of secular bloggers and LGBT rights activists, NBC News reports.

Former Secretary of State John Kerry last April called Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed, offering support related to the investigation into the violent attack that killed Xulhaz Mannan, a U.S. Embassy employee, a gay rights activist and the editor of Bangladesh’s first LGBT magazine Roopbaan.

Rahman was arrested in Dhaka on Monday and was studying computer science when he became involved with ABT. Islam claims that while with ABT, Rahman was close to the group’s head of military operations, former army major Syed Mohammad Ziaul Haque. Haque allegedly went underground after the Bangladesh military claimed he had been aiding a plot to overthrow the government in 2011.
