The [comedian](http://time.com/3550765/chelsea-handler-topless-vladimir-putin/) tore into Sean Spicer during an appearance on [Conan O’Brien’s show ](http://teamcoco.com) _Conan_ on Tuesday, after Spicer [caused outcry](http://time.com/4735224/sean-spicer-hitler-chemical-weapons-transcript/) when he incorrectly said “even Hitler didn’t use chemical weapons” at a press briefing Tuesday. Spicer “can’t possibly be that stupid naturally” [Handler](http://time.com/4648361/chelsea-handler-melania-trump-english/?iid=sr-link1) said. The star joked that she thinks President Trump corners Spicer before briefings, whispering “say something about Hitler” in the spokesman’s ear. O’Brien then brought up Spicer’s subsequent apology, which Handler quickly dismissed. “Whatever, that means nothing at this point. I don’t understand how you can keep that job and go out there and do that,” she said. Handler is no fan of Trump’s daughter Ivanka either, for standing by her father. “As a woman, I would never let my father run for president, knowing what I know about my father,” she said.
