Chelsea Handler didn’t hold up the fake severed head of Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

But the 42-year-old comedian, who lives in Bel Air, is getting that level of reaction after calling out the White House press secretary.

“That harlot that they are dressing up and trolloping out every day?” said Handler on her Dec. 1 Netflix show “Chelsea.” “I mean, one day she has no makeup on at all. The next, she’s got six-foot-long eyelashes, cleavage and summer whore lipstick all over her face.”

Comic Kathy Griffin ran into a buzz saw of criticism when she held up a fake bloody severed head of Donald Trump in an infamous photograph. Now Handler is the target of outrage.

Among several conservative sites wringing its hands was World Net Daily, which began its account: “Popular comedienne Chelsea Handler prides herself on being a ‘feminist,’ but you might not know it from her eye-popping, scorching ridicule of White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders during which Handler called President Trump’s spokeswoman a ‘whore.'”

Fox News cites a social media post noting that Handler practices many of the beauty tactics that she’s chastising Sanders for saying, “before you call Sarah Huckabee Sanders a wh— maybe you should check some of the stuff you have posted on instagram.”

Defending Sanders’ fashion choices. WND.com said: “In reality, Sanders routinely appears at White House press briefings wearing professional, jewel-toned blouses and suits that show little or no cleavage, her signature strand of pearls, neatly coiffed hair and natural shades of lipstick.”

The Daily Telegraph did a search of the archives.

“For years now, Handler has used the ‘all in the name of comedy’ schtick as a shield to protect her from the many sexist (and often racist) gags she is known for,” wrote Katy Hall of that Murdoch-owned Australian paper.

“Over the years, Handler has called Angelina Jolie ‘a f**king c**t,” “a f**king b**ch,” “a f**king lunatic,” “a homewrecker” and joked about the ethnicities of her children. She’s called Michelle McGee a ‘dumb b**ch’ and claimed Paris Hilton is ‘so stupid.’ She’s tweeted, ‘Melania [Trump] to host a discussion on opioid abuse. She says unless you have to have sex with Donald Trump, you have no excuse to be on drugs,’ and blamed the Kardashian family for Trump winning the latest US election.”
