The comedian referred to “Seinfeld” alum and former state governor and said, “Jason Alexander and Chris Christie made it, but not me.” Chelsea revealed that her school did not induct her into the alumni Hall of Fame. “Apparently, the school is upset about how much I talk about my abortions, so I decided to start a grassroots campaign.
