Entertainment Weekly: Pete Schweddy may not have had anything to say to fun police One Million Moms regarding the issues they took up with him, but Ellen DeGeneres certainly did. The daytime talk show host recently faced scrutiny from the conservative group regarding her partnership with J.C. Penney as their new spokesperson. The American Family Association affiliate, which is still calling for the retailer "to replace Ellen DeGeneres" on their website, launched their campaign against J.C. Penney for not remaining "neutral in the culture war," and that their business would be hurt because DeGeneres is a lesbian and "most of its customers are traditional families."
