Chelsea Handler Manages To Make The Death Of Her Dog Disgustingly Political

I’ve always owned dogs. When I was born, my parents had two– a Newfoundland/lab mix named Peaches (they didn’t name her) and a Newfoundland they named Annie. Actually, her original name was Hannah. But then they found out they were having a kid (me) and decided to take the dog’s name back and give it to me.

Yep. This is my life. Humble beginnings.

I’ve had *quickly counts* nine dogs over the course of my life. When I get to heaven, I’m totally asking God why dogs have such short life spans. I’m the WORST at handling dog deaths. (Although some of my stories are pretty tragic. Sudden deaths, hit by a car, etc.  Maybe that’s why.) It sucks no matter what. I just say that so you know that I FEEL for people who lose their pets. It’s awful.

That brings me to Chelsea Handler. She recently lost her beloved pup, and I truly feel sorry for her. However, I’m disgusted that she managed to slip in a stupid political remark in her post about him.

This guy passed away today and he was the love of my life. I was one of those people who would tell people that pets aren’t more than people, but some of them are better than some people, and chunk was a true gentleman. And a Democrat. I love you, buddy. I always will pic.twitter.com/AcbUPL85M4

I thought it was a sweet post until I got to the end. Can you imagine being so full of political-oriented disdain that you slip in a jab about how your dog is a Democrat IN A POST COMMEMORATING HIS DEATH? What the heck is WRONG with you Chelsea? I’m sorry about your dog. I know how much it sucks, but you need help. I can’t imagine my dog passing away and being all, “Well she was a Republican so.”

That’s weird. DOGS AREN’T POLITICAL. All that hate saturates every part of Chelsea’s life. It’s actually quite sad.

Really your dog was a Democrat? WTF is wrong with you?

"chunk was a true gentleman. And a Democrat. I love you, buddy. I always will"

At first it seemed like a sweet message you were tweeting, but then you throw in the part about your dog being a Democrat…I don't care if it was a joke. You're a ridiculous woman, Chelsea.

The dog was a Democrat? So he would lay around all day and expect you to feed him?!

Sorry for your loss, but really your DOG was a Democrat? Did it also suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome? #MAGA

Your dog wasn't a democrat Chelsea. He probably chewed on his foot while you were watching Samantha Bee. Looks like he was a great dog though. https://t.co/M6uRl4BTzi

I almost felt sorry fo you, until you through in that your dog was a a Democrat. Is everything and everyone political to you now?

That’s my point. It’s every last thing now. She’s out of control.

Again. I’m sorry about your dog, Chelsea. But help. Get some.
