Chelsea Handler Digs Deeper in Melania Insults, Twitter Jumps to First Lady’s Defense

The same day Chelsea Handler received backlash for saying Melania Trump “can barely speak English,” the comedian took to Twitter to mock the first lady yet again.

“Blink if you need help @MELANIATRUMP,” Handler tweeted Tuesday night.

Fans did not take well to Handler’s tirade against Melania and shared their distaste for the “Chelsea” host’s comments about the first lady.

@chelseahandler why are you being so mean? I thought you were a feminist…you're not being very supportive

.@chelseahandler Have you only got the one joke? Mocking one person as 'they can't speak English' mocks all immigrants. Mocks my family.

@chelseahandler @MELANIATRUMP Continuing to attack the FLOTUS. More proof that those who preach tolerance are the least tolerant of all.

Handler also defended ex-“Saturday Night Live” writer Katie Rich, who tweeted that Barron Trump “will be this country’s first homeschool shooter.” Rich has since been suspended from “SNL.”

“It’s interesting that a writer on SNL is held to a higher standard of language than the man we elected @POTUS @katiemaryrich #stupid,” the 41-year-old tweeted Tuesday.
