Handler, one of many vocal critics of Trump in Hollywood, took to Twitter on Aug. 2.
“Elijah Cummings’ house was broken into after Trump publicly attacked him on twitter and Republicans say nothing. Our president bullies someone and then has an intruder in his home. The president of the United States,” she wrote.
“The lows keep coming.”
Twitter users quickly responded, noting that the break-in took place early July 27, hours before Trump’s first criticism of Cummings.
“The break in was before Trump’s text have you checked how many other homes were broken in to in Baltimore before Trump’s text? Sweetheart you can not keep hanging all the worlds problems on Trump,” one wrote.
“The break in was before Trump’s initial Tweet. But somehow you still blame Trump. Amazing,” said another.
“There is no better time to check THE FACTS than when the narrative or news suits your preconceived notions,” added another.
Handler, who sent the tweet at approximately 5:55 a.m. PDT, has not retracted or apologized for the missive.
“I had a mid-life identity crisis once Trump won,” Handler said on HBO’s “Real Time With Bill Maher” in April. “Because I had never felt my world be so unhinged.”
“I had to pay a psychiatrist to listen to me [expletive] about Trump for about the first three weeks,” Handler added.
“And then once when we got past that and got to the real stuff, I realized the parallel there was my world becoming unhinged when I was a little girl. My brother died when I was 9 years old. I had never related the two, but for me, as I can imagine it must have been for so many people, it was a huge emotional trigger of everything being destabilized.”
Handler later added that the election of Trump prompted her to smoke marijuana, pivoting to the drug and mostly giving up alcohol.
