Despite being an outspoken Democrat, Chelsea Handler doesn’t care that Senator Mitt Romney is a Republican — and she likes what she sees! Hosting “The Daily Show” on February 8, the comedian shared footage from this week’s State of the Union address, in which Romney is seen dressing down Republican Congressman George Santos. Reportedly, Romney called Santos an “a**” several times, telling him, “You’ve got to be embarrassed.”
Handler then addressed the camera directly, stating, “I would like to go on the record tonight and say that I am sexually attracted to Mitt Romney.” She added, “It’s not the first time, and it won’t be the last time. I don’t even care that he’s a Republican or a Mormon.” Handler’s mother, coincidentally, was Mormon, according to Cleveland Jewish News. She added that, as a Mormon, Romney will “be open to another wife, and if not, he’s a Republican, so he’ll be open to having an affair.”

This wasn’t the first time Handler has confessed to having feelings for a big-name politician. Before being disgraced by his 2021 sex scandal, former New York governor Andrew Cuomo caught Handler’s eye. “I offered myself up to Andrew Cuomo,” she said on the New York Times “Sway” podcast in July 2021. “In the pandemic, I was very turned on by his morning news conferences.” Handler, naturally, noted that her crush was “O-V-E-R” after “all the stuff we found out about him.”
