Kathy Griffin: Nothing ‘Wrong’ with Trump Photo, ‘Your Friends’ Would Have Done It Too
Breitbart ^ | Sept 29 10217 | Ben Kew

Posted on 09/29/2017 11:36:11 AM PDT by drewh

Embattled comedian Kathy Griffin is featured in this week’s UK Guardian magazine cover story, in which she defends her decision to share a photo of herself holding up a blood-soaked head of President Donald Trump. Griffin tweeted the Guardian cover photo which shows her dressed in the likeness of Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara, a communist dictator who murdered thousands of political dissidents.

In the interview, Griffin explains how “anyone” would have taken the Trump photo and argues that she is the victim of “sexism and ageism” at the hands of Trump.

“I took a picture that you or anyone of your friends could make,” she said. “I put it online and was under federal investigation for conspiracy to assassinate the President of the United States of America. I didn’t do anything wrong. It’s insane and I truly believe if it happened to me it could happen to you.”

After releasing the image, Griffin received widespread condemnation and was removed from her role co-hosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve show and also saw cancellations on several stops for her live comedy tour. Griffin was also the subject of a Secret Service investigation into her shock photo.

“I was vilified by everyone,” said Griffin. “I was vilified by Chelsea f**king Clinton. I was vilified by my friend Don Cheadle. I was vilified by people I’d had at my f**king home. Nobody had my back. It happened so fast. I didn’t see it coming.”

Griffin remained unrepentant, claiming that President Trump believed she was an “easy target.”

“I will not be convinced this was not a straight-up case of sexism and ageism. I really think Trump went for me because I was an easy target,” she told the Guardian.

We’re not “anyone”, you dumb broad. We are not as insane and sick as you.

I dreaded every day of Barack Hussein’s time in power. I despised the usurper with every fiber of my being. But I never did anything like what that imitation comedian claimed was humor. In fact I strongly reprimanded those who wished him dead. If you think it’s hard now repealing the destructive legacy of that bitter, vindictive, bigoted communist, imagine trying it if he were a martyr too. I thank God that Obama is still alive, if only because that makes it easier to restore freedom and the rule of law.

Someday someone will appear in a magazine hold the bloody head of this filthy pig....that'll be fun to watch!

And also,I'd like to ask that pig..."how did you like your little chat with the Secret Service?"

What a pathetic excuse for a human being. You cannot find a better example of liberal insanity.

“Nobody had my back” — ha, ha. Guess she found out the limits to “Resist!”

And what would have happened if someone did the same to Obama’s head?

That’s because you are a D-lister.

If you were an A or B list celebrity, you might have had some support.

One couldn't. They'd be literally crucified.

Why is anyone talking to this stupid woman?

Is it the Cindy Sheehan type of attention? As long as she is spouting the liberal BS she gets attentions?

I bet if she suddenly stopped supporting the liberal agenda they would ignore her, the way they ignored Cindy when she started speaking out against Obama.
