LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Chelsea Handler has mocked Spencer Pratt and his run for Los Angeles mayor, asking the American people to “jump over it”.

The comedian’s slamming of the 42-year-old was also a subtle dig at President Donald Trump and his political career.

In a video posted on her Instagram account on Friday, May 15, Handler said, “If you’re seeing this video, this is a reminder that a straight, White male former reality star that has no previous experience in government should not be a legitimate political candidate.”

The online clip then shows a photo of Trump as the 51-year-old actress added, “Have we learned anything yet? The bar is on the f******g floor, people, and I need you to jump over it.”

Handler was seemingly referring to Trump’s own reality TV career, where he served as the host of ‘The Apprentice’ for its first 14 seasons. Also, before joining politics, the Republican leader was a businessman.

The TV personality captioned the post as “Most of you have probably never heard of Chelsea Handler, so here’s an introduction!"
