Ellen DeGeneres sparks backlash with Minneapolis videos

Former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has received mixed reactions on her recent social media posts related to the situation in Minneapolis.

In one of her Instagram videos, the 67-year-old condemned the killing of Renee Nicole Good, the US citizen who was shot and killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents earlier this month. 

She was protesting against ICE agents who have descended upon the Twin Cities in recent weeks, which President Donald Trump has said is in response to a massive misappropriation of welfare funds.

"I am so sorry for what is happening in Minneapolis and our country, really, but specifically Minneapolis right now because that's where I shot my last stand-up special and everybody there couldn't have been more lovely," DeGeneres said on Instagram. "I shot it there because they say it's the happiest city in America. And I found that to be true."

She later shared a video of a  peaceful demonstration attended by hundreds of people in Minneapolis. Thousands of people thanked the TV personality for raising her voice against the government.

However, those angered by the recent killing of Charlie Kirk blasted Ellen DeGeneres for promoting the protests.

Political commentator Megyn Kelly also lashed out at Ellen for weighing in on the protests in Minneapolis.
