Saratoga: Today, Tedra Cobb once again openly embraced controversial comedian Chelsea Handler’s support of her campaign, retweeting Handler’s post that she was donating to Cobb “right now.” This isn’t the first time Tedra Cobb has embraced Handler, who has been one of her top supporters since last year and helped Cobb raise millions off of the sexist hashtag #trashyStefanik.
Not only is Chelsea Handler the definition of an out of touch, Hollywood elitist liberal — she has a history of supporting Louis Farrakhan as recently as June of this year, the Nation of Islam leader who is widely known for his disgusting anti-Semitism and homophobia. Handler called Farrakhan’s words “powerful.” Initially, Handler defended Farrakhan and refused to apologize.
“Taxin’ Tedra Cobb must immediately denounce her top supporter Hollywood liberal Chelsea Handler who openly embraced the anti-Semitic and homophobic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan,” said Stefanik spokeswoman Maddie Anderson. ““Tedra Cobb embracing Chelsea Handler’s support with open arms is disgusting yet unsurprising coming from a campaign whose top supporters are out of touch Hollywood liberals, not North Country voters. Cobb must also denounce Handler for leading the charge along with other D-list celebrities calling Elise Stefanik sexist names on Twitter last year as Stefanik was defending President Trump from Adam Schiff’s baseless impeachment sham. While Elise Stefanik has been releasing endorsements from New York law enforcement associations, NY-21 voters, and local elected officials, Tedra Cobb is clinging to support from offensive Hollywood elitists in the final days of the race. Clearly, Taxin’ Tedra knows she’s headed for another double digit loss.”
