Hollywood Celebrity Sends Voters to Georgia Polls on Wrong Day
2017-04-14
[Free Beacon] Hollywood celebrity Chelsea Handler has helped Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff reach record fundraising levels with her contributions, but she doesn't even know when the election is.

Handler demonstrated this Tuesday when she invited her nearly seven million Twitter followers to get out and vote for Ossoff--even though the election isn't taking place until next week on April 18.

The errant message likely didn't cause too much confusion for southern voters in Georgia, who appear less energized about next week's election than residents of liberal bastions like Hollywood. Ninety-five percent of contributions to Ossoff's campaign--including $2,700 from Handler--have come from sources outside of Georgia.

Handler's sudden interest in the Southern election comes a year after she revealed in an interview with NBC's Matt Lauer that she associates racism with "really like dumb ... people from the South."

Handler is far from the only Hollywood celebrity who has taken an interest in the 30-year-old former congressional staffer and investigative filmmaker for Al Jazeera.

Other celebrities contributing to Ossoff's effort include Ashton Kutcher's Two and a Half Men costar Jon Cryer, Rosie O'Donnell, Debra Messing, George Takei, John Leguizamo, Sam Waterston, and Kristen Bell.

Ossoff has received financial support from less-well-known members of the Hollywood scene such as Shannon Fitzgerald, a reality television producer who claims to have "discovered the Kardashian family." Fitzgerald held a fundraiser for Ossoff last month in Los Angeles.

Fitzgerald cohosted the fundraiser with Rose McGowan, who made her film debut in Encino Man before starring in Jawbreaker and the television show Charmed.

#5  Remember she called the FLOTUS an ignorant immigrant.

Reasonably attractive lady, and on rare occasion even vaguely amusing, but she doesn't have the brains the Good Lord gave a softball.

Thank God these Hollywood celebs would have trouble organizing a one-person parade.

#2  From his website: "Today, I lead a company that investigates corrupt politicians and organized crime." I wonder if he will turn his sights on the corruption in his own party? What was I thinking? Color me naïve.

#1  Hollyweird and the dems have flooded local Atlanta teevee with Ossoff adds. I don't believe the little 30 year old rodent has a snowball's chance in hell. He does however, bear a striking, younger brother resemblance to Carlos Danger.
