ELLEN DEGENERES USES "FINDING DORY" TO OPPOSE TRUMP'S TRAVEL BAN


Ellen DeGeneres one again has found a good way to comment and oppose to Trump's travel ban. She said she didn't have much to say about politics, but she had a lot to say about "Finding Dory", so she used the film to do so.
In the USA, Ellen is the voice of the memorable but forgetful Australian fish, Dory, on her mission to find her parents, who are in America.
Tapescript:

"Now, of course Finding Dory is about a fish named Dory," 
 "And, Dory lives in Australia, and these are her parents, and they live in America. And I don’t know what religion they are, but her dad sounds a little Jewish -- doesn't matter."
"Dory arrives in America with her friends Marlin and Nemo," 
"She ends up at the Marine Life Institute behind a large wall. They all have to get over the wall and you won’t believe it, but that wall has almost no effect in keeping them out."
"Even though Dory gets into America, she ends up separated from her family, but the other animals help Dory," 
"Animals that don’t even need her. Animals that don’t even have anything in common with her. They help her, even though they’re completely different colors. Because that’s what you do when you see someone in need -- you help them."
