Liberal comedian Chelsea Handler faced the mockery and ridicule of many on Twitter after an astoundingly ignorant tweet about the proceedings in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who knelt on George Floyd’s neck.
Chauvin is facing charges of unintentional second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and manslaughter over his role in the death of Floyd, a black man, in late May. Chauvin has since been fired from his job as an officer with the Minneapolis, Minnesota, police department.
While the trial is under close scrutiny due to the racially sensitive nature of the charges, Handler decided to chime in with an observation that revealed her lack of knowledge about the U.S. justice system.
So pathetic that there is a trial to prove that Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd when there is video of him doing so.

“So pathetic that there is a trial to prove that Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd when there is video of him doing so,” tweeted Handler.
Critics pounced on the opportunity to fill in the clueless comedian about the right to a fair trial that has been a pillar of anglo-American jurisprudence for centuries.
“If there wasn’t it would violate the constitution. And it would set precedent that the people could throw away trials and punish the innocent. Everyone gets a trial and gets their voice in the courtroom,” responded one user helpfully.
“How stupid of them to give due process that’s in the constitution. Smh. Bunch of damn communists. Yes, I think he’s guilty but we have due process and the rule of law in this country!” tweeted Josh Barnett, a Republican congressional candidate, sarcastically.
“Criticizing due process is a bold move for someone who claims to be in favor of criminal justice reform But hey, Chauvin was white AND a cop, so just hang him I guess,” tweeted commentator Lauren Chen.
Many others pointed out that her suggestion was not only unconstitutional but very unwise as a policy for the justice system. Nevertheless, she persisted.
“Perhaps we skip trials when there is audio and video footage of the murder,” Handler responded to one critic.

Handler has been blasted previously on social media many times, including once when she tweeted that the former first lady Melania Trump needed drugs to have sex with former President Donald Trump.
Ding bat squawks again!!
I have to agree with her. Kill that murdering scum cop and anyone that tries to protect him.
Hey, jump on the bandwagon! Get the dumbest criminal in your family to confront the police. And if he loads up on drugs and dies, you may collect 27 million dollars, too!! The way you talk, you may be the catalyst for your family becoming rich!!! We’ll honor your sacrifice, Andy!!! Hahahaha
Stupid is as stupid does. If you bothered following the trial (on anything but lame stream media) you will notice that the police officer had his knee on George’s shoulder not his neck. Also, if the “man” could not breathe, he would not have been able to talk. George Floyd killed himself.
Above reply was to Andy.
What business is it of Chandler’s if Melania needed drugs to have sex? Since when did Chandler get a sex license, Maybe Chandler has to have drugs to have sex. Chandler acts like she knows everything about everybody else, so let’s dig into her life and let’s talk about her. If we make assumptions it’s okay because that’s all Chandler is doing so it must be okay. I bet we could uncover some pretty juicy stories about her and her sex life.Chandler needs to keep her big nose out of others business or she may get it bit off.
I’m thinking it’s a projection on Handler’s part as a guy, or another woman, has to take drugs to have sex with her.
She is just a waste of human flesh. I bet her mom is really proud, but then she most likely was scraped off a shit house wall
She should get all the info before opening her mouth. Just like a Demo, don’t know anything except what they want to know. Coroner proved Floyd died from taking the DOPE he swallowed to hide it from the police. There were no marks on his neck to show where the police officer had his knee on him. People wake up, get the story straight or just keep your mouth shut. But then these kind of people are RACIST, an they don’t like the truth. Why don’t they send these people along with all these immigrants back across the border. We don’t need them. Take them to the blue states n let them live there, not the red states. Stupid idiots. KARMA, people.
How do you explain ignorance, to an ignorant person?
George Floyd’s family have won a JACKPOT ($12M from people’s donation plus $27M from Minneapolis city); his family still want more ? ? ? Ask yourself: how much he has been earning in his life ?
Why does ANYONE with a brain even give a 4th-rate “actress” the time of day? She obviously slept her way through her 5th grade education!
She is not a comedian, she is pathetic! Trying to get noticed by being publicly stupid. She’ll say and do anything to get noticed,,,pathetic!
LISTEN UP….GEORGE FLOYD Committed SUICIDE…That is WHY HE had a LETHAL DOSE of DRUGS in HIM. DEREK CHAUVIN’S Knee on FLOYD’S NECK is NOT What KILLED HIM. The CORONER’S REPORT Will PROVE…FLOYD’S DEATH was DRUG RELATED along With HIS HEALTH Problems. MANY AMERICANS Have CONDEMNED CHAUVIN Even Before a FAIR TRIAL. Those Who Have NO INTEGRITY…Have Res orted to STREET JUSTICE. A PERSON is INNOCENT Until Proven GUILTY in a COURT of LAW Not the CITY STS. RE MEM BER That. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
I wonder how she would feel if she was accused of a crime and had no due process. Every citizen under our constitution, has a right to a fair trial no matter how despicable he or she is. But wait a minute, the left wants to burn up the constitution. Let’s see how that turns out.
So anytime a perceived crime is caught on video no need for trials??? Great, so that go for anytime a black is caught on video carjacking, or mercilously beating some poor elderly person on the subway, or group of black teenagers mercilessly beating someone while their peers video it on Facebook live and laugh and cheer them on??? Ridiculous right? Just white people maybe??? How about videos of people beating on police officers??? So….. Skip trials from now on altogether??? You have a video its a slam dunk case??? As everyone has pointed out, you’re not real smart are you???
I believe the cop is not guilty of murder got what he deserved was a criminal and drug addict but the dumb blacks will cry and riot until they get what they want. black lives don’t matter!!!!
Just when I think she can’t say anything stupider than her last remark she opens her mouth and surprises me again.
I do trust all of the ideas you have offered for your post.
They’re very convincing and can definitely work. Still, the posts are very short for starters.
May just you please extend them a little from subsequent time?
Thank you for the post.
Exceptional post however I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more
on this topic? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little
bit further. Cheers!
Unquestionably consider that that you stated. Your favorite
justification seemed to be on the internet the simplest factor to consider of.
I say to you, I definitely get irked whilst people consider issues that they
plainly do not realize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest as well
as defined out the whole thing with no need side effect , other folks could take a signal.
Will probably be back to get more. Thank you
This text is worth everyone’s attention. How can I find out
more?
