Chelsea Handler is new at this activist stuff, so we suppose she shouldn’t be held accountable for knowing anything that happened in politics before 2017. It’s difficult to believe, though, that she could tweet something so self-unaware:
I love Republicans saying they want to release this memo because they want Americans to have more information. Like with healthcare and tax reform? When no one knew what was in those bills until they were about to be voted on? Total corruption and cleansing of fbi to aid trump.

I know, right. Those bastards lowered my taxes and reduced healthcare costs. How dare they https://t.co/K1TRWSKv5W

She’s right about one thing in her tweet — not even the Democrats themselves who voted to pass Obamacare knew what was in the bill. Does Handler seriously not remember Nancy Pelosi saying, “We have to pass the bill before you can see what’s in it”?
Yet, she supports Obamacare. 😂 https://t.co/96nBfm0ZOa

Like when Nancy Pelosi said, "we have to pass the bill to see what's in the bill" about Obamacare?

You mean like with Obamacare, when Nancy Pelosi said Congress had to pass the bill to see what was in it? Get your head out of your ass and expose it to some oxygen. https://t.co/zVBAGZtSQd

Don’t you remember Nancy Pelosi telling us we’d be able to read about the health care act when it was released? Don’t be ignorant with partisan garbage. Most of our politicians are hiding things from the public on both sides. https://t.co/7ggE3xOzWP

Maybe another long ski trip to Canada? A really, really long one?
And if no one knew what was in the GOP’s tax reform bill, why were Nancy Pelosi and activists like Handler tweeting about the #GOPTaxScam and predicting that it would kill thousands of people? Remember this?
Anyone who makes less than 100k a year will be screwed by this tax bill. First, they start with the people who make 10k a year. This is our government under trump. Call your reps. Flake, McCain, Murkowski, Collins. Call them and stop this.

Armageddon!
That scenario sounds a lot like Handler’s fretting over the Nunes memo — does she want it released or not? It certainly sounds like she’s all for transparency — she might as well have ended her tweet with the #ReleaseTheMemo hashtag.
This literally killed a couple of my brain cells. https://t.co/1GonBgL8uU

So you’re against Americans having more information? https://t.co/96nBfm0ZOa

Democrats are dead-set against its release, so yes.
This is what running skerred looks like. Desperation to the highest degree. https://t.co/Y8zqALhqgS
