Chelsea Handler weighs in ...
“Listen up you wingnut elegy, this country is still controlled by men and systems that were set up by men that are carefully crafted to continue to benefit men,” Handler said in a fast-speaking response. “Let’s be clear, there is no correlation between childless people and the presidency. For example, our very first United States president, Mr. George Washington, didn’t have children. In fact, he had two stepchildren. That’s right, just like someone else I know,” she added, in reference to Vice President Kamala Harris, who is stepmother to two adult children with her husband, Doug Emhoff.
“To your point about Kamala not being fit because she’s not a mother, I’d like to remind you that no president in the history of the United States has ever been a mother,” Handler continued. “Maybe if she had five kids with three different men, and a scandalous affair with a porn star, and was convicted felon that would be more palatable to Republican men.”
Handler went on to refer to Vance as a “Diet-Mountain-Dew-drinking-couch-humping-dolphin-porn-afficionado,” further references to headlines from last week regarding viral clips from Vance’s campaign, including one since-debunked rumor that Vance wrote about having sex with a couch in his 2016 book, Hillbilly Elegy.
“All of us childless cat and dog ladies are going to go from childless and crushing it to childless and crushing you in November,” Handler said. “And before you tell me he didn’t really fuck a couch, spare me. I grew up in New Jersey in the ’80s where everyone had a couch in their basement and I know a couch fucker when I see one.”
