Comedian Chelsea Handler is guest hosting “The Daily Show” this week, and she had some free advice for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who recently whined about how “miserable” it is to be a member of Congress.
Last Friday, Greene told Glenn Greenwald on his System Update podcast:
“The nature of this job. It keeps members of Congress and Senators in Washington so much of the time — too much of the time to be honest with you, that we don’t get to go home and spend more time with our families, our friends, and, you know, all in our district or maybe just be regular people because this job is so demanding and it’s turned into practically year-round.
“Becoming a member of Congress has made my life miserable. I made a lot more money before I got here. I’ve lost money since I’ve gotten here. I have people come up to me and say crazy things to me out of the blue in public places that they believe cause they read it on the internet or saw it on some news show about me. So it’s not a life that I think is like something that I enjoy because I don’t enjoy it.”
That led Handler to verbally excoriate Greene:
As for Greene suggesting that she just wants to be a “regular person,” Handler noted:
“First of all, you’re not a regular person, you moron. You’re a congressperson because you campaigned and somehow won, which requires you to work year-round. I also don’t wanna work year-round, and that’s why I don’t!”
The comedian then offered some free advice to the Georgia Republican:
