Thank goodness Chelsea Handler has left behind her Netflix series to focus full-time on being a political activist. It seems she’s stumbled upon a plot by the Russians to interfere with Virginia’s gubernatorial election — the one where Latino Victory Fund envisioned Ed Gillespie supporters driving pickup trucks with Confederate flags and trying to run down minority children.
Russian bots are already interfering with Virginia's election. Spreading disinformation and race baiting.

So, seriously … we’re still going with this Russian bots thing? This is going to go on forever, isn’t it? “You may be wondering why I’m not 50 points ahead. Well … RUSSIAN BOTS.”
Suppose Ralph Northam were ahead 50 points right now; does anyone really think Handler would be tweeting about Russian bots right now?
Ok I think Ed's gonna win now, they are already making excuseshttps://t.co/z5fkI4epRW

There should be a word for this kind of whining-before-the-fact, like "prexcuse." https://t.co/pbAKDWYIUX

Kinda like a white guy in a truck mowing down children of color? THAT kind of race baiting? ? https://t.co/9hePWh2o1L

So the Latino Victory Fund is composed of Russian bots? Huh. https://t.co/5n6BccHBAn

Russian bots didn’t run an ad depicting “conservatives” running over minority children, Democrats did. https://t.co/7h0VfDBYIE

Kool-Aid?
Too much vodka https://t.co/S8D0tUiRTY

Hello vodka. It's me, Chelsea.

Any different from when you tweet under the influence of vodka? https://t.co/5GXJ3KKiYM

That’s what the press release said. And Netflix was going to film it all for a documentary. So far, though, just partisan tweets and the standard Trump digs.
