Chelsea Handler said that women in the White House “should leave” if they care about the “fundamental rights of other women.”
“Any women that cares about the fundamental rights of other women should leave the WH,” the 42-year-old comedian tweeted along with a link to an article about political commentator Anushay Hossain blasting Kellyanne Conway for defending the Trump administration’s handling of Rob Porter. The former WH aide has been accused of domestic abuse by his former wives.
“We have terrible representation during a time when women are finally using their voices to protect and honor each other. #timesuponwomenwhodonothing,” Handler added.

On Sunday, during Conway’s appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” the WH counselor said she believed Porter’s accusers.
“I have no reason not to believe the women, and a week ago I had no reason to believe that that had ever happened,” Conway shared.
