Feminist Chelsea Handler has been in an all-out vulgar war against White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders. The comedian called Sanders a “whore” in a recent interview and then released a video body-shaming Sanders and her makeup. In response, Mike Huckabee said Handler was “jealous” of his daughter. Huck said:
I know you are probably expecting me to be very angry about it truthfully when I read what she said and watched it, I felt sorry for her. I feel sad for Chelsea Handler. She seems like a very angry and bitter person. She is almost as old as me.
This is the part of her life she needs to start mellowing out. She seems to be enraged. She boasts about the two abortions she had at 16. In many ways, she is jealous of my daughter. My daughter has a husband who loves her and is wonderful to her. My daughter has three delightful children. She is a happy, balanced person. She enjoys life. She is a pretty straight-laced person. Goes to church and lives a life Chelsea Handler has never known.
After the slew of vulgarities and attacks, some have called on Netflix to cancel or suspend Handler’s new comedy show.
You too @netflix for promoting this kind of bullying. Shame on you too. https://t.co/d8Eq7oYAxY

So, @netflix is okay with one of its “content providers” attacking a woman’s appearance because of her political viewpoint? https://t.co/eh5Vi3oAPj

@netflix Really. You want this playing with your banner on it? It’s not funny, doesn’t even appear to try to be funny. https://t.co/fFZ37KReVA

@netflix please remove @chelseahandler from your lineup forever. Her attack on women is unforgivable! https://t.co/DEFuDb7L9y

Rude & shameful @chelseahandler one more example of those people who claim to champion women but have no problem harassing those women they don’t agree with. @SarahHuckabee great job ignoring the haters. @MorningsMaria @FoxBusiness @dagenmcdowell

Eric Trump, the son of president Donald Trump, has come out against Handler.
Even attacking my pregnant wife and our then unborn son wasn’t off limits for her (she later admitted to being “stoned”). Fortunately she isn’t all that bright… #Genes https://t.co/47xAF6aiBQ
