- Eric Trump suggested Ellen DeGeneres was part of the "Deep State" in a tweet on Tuesday.
- On Wednesday, DeGeneres responded by saying she was honored that he thought she was powerful enough to be involved.
- The Deep State is an alleged group that uses its power to influence the government, and is a popular conspiracy theory among some conservatives.
On Tuesday, Eric Trump tweeted his concerns that comedian Ellen DeGeneres was a member of the "Deep State," an alleged clandestine group that works to circumvent the democratically elected US government, according to a conspiracy theory popular among some conservatives.
DeGeneres responded on her talk show Wednesday by saying she was "honored" that he thought she was powerful enough to be involved. She also said that even if someone asked her to be involved, she's too busy.
Eric Trump's theory that DeGeneres is part of the Deep State stems from his Twitter account, specifically its suggestions of who he should follow. Twitter suggested he follow Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and DeGeneres, and he interpreted this to mean she was part of the Deep State.
DeGeneres said Wednesday that she had never heard of the Deep State before she found out why her name was trending on Twitter.
"I just want to say, Eric, I am honored that you think I'm powerful enough to be part of a government conspiracy," she said. "I am sorry to disappoint you. I am not part of the Deep State. Even if somebody wanted me to be involved, I don't have that kind of time. I've got my gay agenda meetings on Mondays, on Wednesday Beyoncé and I host an Illuminati brunch. And then Portia [de Rossi] and I on the weekends are desperately trying to have a baby. So I can't. I don't have time."
