How Social Media Helped Ellen DeGeneres Get Into the White House
Ellen DeGeneres was recently honored by President Obama with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, but there was one problem — when she arrived to the White House, she realized she forgot her I.D.!
The talk show host told “Extra’s” Mario Lopez, “When you’re getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom, I didn’t think I needed I.D.”
She then figured out a way to get in, sharing, “I was just sitting on the bench trying to figure out what I was going to do. Portia was like, "I’ve got to take a picture," and we posted it on Twitter — and within 10 minutes, they said, 'You can come in.’"
The power of social media came to Ellen and Portia’s rescue!
