BREAKING NEWS – Los Angeles, California – Chelsea Handler mocked after incorrectly suggesting President Trump only pardoned white people. Handler took to Twitter to bash the president and point out that all the high-profile inmates benefited – including former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and financier Michael Milken – were white.
“While our president exonerates criminals and releases them from jail, notice what color they all are,” she wrote.
However, several Twitter users were quick to point out that not all 11 people granted clemency are white, including Angela Stanton-King, who served time in 2007 for her role in a stealing ring.
“I’m BLACK,” Stanton-King commented on Handler’s post.
Rather than admit that she was obviously factually inaccurate, Handler refused to back down. “I stand by my original comment,” Handler wrote. “And I believe Trump only pardons white people, light skin blacks, and dark skin blacks that are Uncle Toms.”
