WASHINGTON—Who says Presidential Medal of Freedom honorees have to bring an ID to get into the White House? Apparently, the Secret Service does, as comedian Ellen DeGeneres experienced a delay in getting into a ceremony in which she and 20 others were honoured with the nation’s highest civilian award. DeGeneres, sitting on a park bench before the ceremony, tweeted, “They haven’t let me in to the White House yet because I forgot my ID.” She added, “#NotJoking.”
