Liberal comedian Chelsea Handler swiped at first lady Melania Trump, joking that she is a sex worker and took aim at other hot-button issues during her remarks at the Critics Choice Awards Friday. "It was a huge year for biopics … ‘Anora,’ about Melania Trump," said Handler, who emceed the awards show for a third straight year.&nbsp; According to the IMDB website, "Anora" is a 2024 film about a "young sex worker from Brooklyn" who "meets and impulsively marries the son of an oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairytale is threatened."&nbsp; MELANIA TRUMP’S LIFE WITH PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: SEE THE PHOTOS&nbsp;  Handler also took a shot at Cheryl Hines, the wife of&nbsp;Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump’s nominee to be secretary of&nbsp;Health and Human Services.&nbsp;  She said those who didn’t win at Friday night’s&nbsp;awards show "will just be in the background, questioning your life choices, like Cheryl Hines at a Senate confirmation hearing."&nbsp; The comedian also poked at Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).&nbsp; DEI OFFICE CLOSURES AT UNIVERSITIES PILE UP AFTER ANOTHER STATE ORDERS END TO ‘WOKE VIRUS’&nbsp; "I am your DEI host, Chelsea Handler," she said. "I wanna acknowledge that we've been through a lot lately ... our entire country, waking up every day, not knowing what news we're gonna hear that will disappoint and horrify us."&nbsp; Trump has made eliminating DEI programs one of the cornerstones of his agenda since returning to office almost three weeks ago. On Jan. 22, 2025, he issued an&nbsp;executive order "Protecting civil rights and expanding opportunity," by "terminating radical DEI preferencing in federal contracting and directing federal agencies to relentlessly combat private sector discrimination. It enforces long-standing federal statutes and faithfully advances the Constitution’s promise of colorblind equality before the law."&nbsp;  CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP&nbsp; This week, Baltimore and its Democratic mayor, Brandon Scott, joined progressive groups to file a lawsuit aimed at stopping the president's executive orders aimed at dismantling DEI programs.
