Chelsea Handler: ‘I’m Not a Democrat Anymore’ – LifeZette

Chelsea Handler no longer considers herself a Democrat.

Divisiveness is not the answer, and I think to get that message, we have to reach across party lines, Handler recently told Variety. Forget your party. Im registering as an independent. Im not going to be a Democrat anymore because its too divisive. This isnt working, this two-party system.

When asked about speaking with the first lady, Handler said, To talk about what? She can barely speak English?

Handler said that Donald Trumps victory influenced her immensely, causing her to want to educate herself and other people about politics, voting, and human rights.

The television hosts biggest concern under Trumps administration? Racism.

While it may seem like the comedian is turning over a new leaf and attempting to reach across party lines by leaving the Democratic Party, she contradicts herself in the very same interview by declaring she would never want President Trump or first lady Melania Trump to be guests on her show, Chelsea.

She called Trump the grossest. Physically, emotionally, mentally. Then when asked about possibly speaking with the first lady on her program, she said, To talk about what? She can barely speak English? Melania Trump is fluent in five languages.

If Handler's reset moment in the Variety interview wasn't enough for you, don't forget about her "open letter" following the election, wherein she lamented:

"Ninety-four percent of black women voted for Hillary Clinton, because unlike white women, black women don't take their rights, liberties, or justice for granted."

She's also called Trump a "predator-in-chief" and said Hillary Clinton lost the election because "we have a problem with women supporting women."

In true irony, Handler has long critiqued third-party voters and blamed them for Hillary Clinton's loss.

While it may seem on the surface that Handler is opening herself up to more than just the echo chamber of the Left, she seems to bring out her usual, tired insults in the same breath.

The interview was not the only time Handler got political over the weekend. She also helped lead the Sundance women's march in Park City, Utah, where she told the crowd: "If you're feeling helpless or feeling dejected, take a look around. You're not alone. Don't lose hope. Get your hope. I'll give you hope. Let's all give each other hope and stick together."

At least she didn't cop to desiresof blowing up the White House.
