It is no longer online as she asked for it to be taken down, but she did a photo shoot showing her holding the severed head of President Trump. She is now on the apology tour where she said she sees from the public response she went too far. www.msn.com/en-us/tv/celebrity/kathy-griffin-apologizes-for-trump-photo-i-went-too-far/ar-BBBHOmV?li=BBnb7KzShe knew from the original video she was going to far and laughed about it on the video. I posted this on politics because she is very political in her outspoken feelings of the President, and she makes it political. With beheadings being all the rage with ISIS fanatics, just how outrageous is this? Or is this just "art"? |

That was really sick! And Chelsea Clinton said so too!
I've never really thought she was all that funny either. Hope she loses her New Year's Eve gig for this!

Just because she hosts three hours on NYE with Anderson Cooper that basically no one watches is not going to mean a lot  Fox is saying she is a contributing member of CNN because she is there for NYE, but that is a huge reach........ |

She made a bad call, that's for sure. Genuinely funny people don't have to try so hard.

It's not funny. It doesn't even make sense. Do I believe she had the right to do it? Sure. Was it terrible and tasteless and disrespectful and also ridiculous? Yes.

She's trying to incite violence against Trump.

She's trying to incite violence against Trump. She's too ridiculous to be taken seriously. She's made a fool out of herself and her "joke-not joke " backfired horribly on her. |

It didn't backfire. She put the image out, got a lot of media coverage, and then issued her fake apology after it circulated She's in the news. It worked

Well I'm glad I did not see it. A small part of me would like to know what made her think this was a great idea. The bigger part thinks its best to not know. |

It's not funny. It doesn't even make sense. Do I believe she had the right to do it? Sure. Was it terrible and tasteless and disrespectful and also ridiculous? Yes. I found it. I agree, it doesn't make sense. I'm somewhat relieved its so badly done. |

Sarah Silverman has a song that describes Kathy Griffin perfectly... I'll leave it up to anyone here to decide for themselves if they really want to hear it though... Are you sure you want to hear the song? It's got a really, Really, REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY bad word in it... more than once... repeatedly. Okay... if you open this last one, don't say that you weren't warned! |

It's still somewhat of a free country, except for Portland, she has the right to even burn him in effigy. Others have the right to cheer or turn away in disgust. No one has the right to force her to stop. Her apology was not one at all because she wasn't sorry at all.

My gut reaction was "meh". I thought the prop was going to be some goofy thing made out of paper machee. But upon actually seeing it... wow.  I don't want to meet the man who finds that funny. |

BUT, if you are a fan of her act, would it stop you from going to see her?Why are you asking me? Sorry, I was not asking you specifically. It was a generic comment/question to the Kathy Griffin fans that are out there. Obviously she supports herself rather well with the comedy act, or no one would know who she is....... |

I didn't see it, and I don't really know who Cathy Griffin is, but..... that is an ugly and tacky thing to do at best. It reminds me of the GW assassination film that was made, or some of the many nasty things that were visited upon the Obamas for no reason. I despise what you are saying, but will defend to the death your right to say it......Just for clarification, do you mean your death, or the Donald's?  |
