In the interview with Huffington Post, Handler went as far to say that Coulter is &#8220;good at eliciting that feeling of grossness inside.&#8221; Handler answered a strong &#8220;no&#8221; when asked if she liked Coulter&#8217;s views, as expected.<\/p>\n<p>Handler hosted the late-night talk show\u00a0<em>Chelsea Lately\u00a0<\/em>on the E! network from 2007 to 2014, where she mentioned Coulter on more than one occasion. As an outspoken liberal, Handler readily disagrees with Coulter&#8217;s idea of politics. Handler used her platform as a late-night host to call Coulter out on her views.<\/p>\n<p>Coulter has been in the news a lot recently, specifically for her dedication to Presidential nominee Donald Trump. This past week Coulter released her book, &#8220;In Trump We Trust,&#8221; which has not gone over well with many Republicans. Trump himself even shunned the book.<\/p>\n<p>Handler isn&#8217;t the only comedian who isn&#8217;t fond of Coulter. Last night, Coulter was &#8220;completely slaughtered&#8221; by comics at the celebrity roast of Rob Lowe. After the tapping, Coulter laughed it off saying &#8220;Everybody has such thin skin. Bless their hearts, they were trying to be funny.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Handler and Coulter couldn&#8217;t be any more different. But Handler enjoys having conversations that are challenging and forces discussion on important topics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIntellectually, I don\u2019t think I can match her, but I mean, I like anybody with a difference of opinion,\u201d Handler said. \u201cI like conflict and I\u2019m not averse to that. I like having conversations that are uncomfortable&#8221; Handler said.<\/p>\n<p>Uncomfortable may be an understatement. The two will duke it out sometime in September.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comedian and talk show host Chelsea Handler revealed that she is set to interview Ann Coulter in the upcoming weeks.
