Want to guess which liberal comedian will entertain House Democrats at the close of their retreat this week? That’s right: the vulgar Chelsea Handler.
The retreat in Baltimore is a way for Democrats to “regroup” after “intra-party turmoil,” Politico reported. Except, Handler’s no longer a Democrat. (She’s also famous for hyperbole. She never moved to Spain following the election, after all.)
After participating in the women’s march, Handler relinquished her party affiliation.
“Divisiveness is not the answer, and I think to get that message, we have to reach across party lines,” Handler told Variety at the Sundance Film Festival in January. “Forget your party. I’m registering as an independent. I’m not going to be a Democrat anymore because it’s too divisive. This isn’t working, this two-party system.”
Handler avidly supported Hillary Clinton, breaking down in tears when the presidential candidate lost the 2016 election. She continues to condemn “predator-in-chief” Donald Trump and Republicans wherever possible, and plugs progressive policies in her spare time.

In addition to Handler, the event will feature NBA Hall of Fame winner Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who will speak at the retreat’s Thursday evening dinner reception.
