He [Trump] "broke me." ???
This is not a bunch of white guys trying to silence her.
No one is trying to silence her.
Her fans holding tickets for her future shows have nothing to fear.
It is not censorship on the part of CNN to fire an employee.
She is lying when she says she would never "want to hurt anyone, much less a child." (See below, under the South Park clip).
She brought this on herself. She made a free-will and conscious choice in agreeing to participate in a pre-planned photoshoot where she should have had at least a slight inkling of intelligence that the picture would be controversial. Seriously, when is the last time she made news? Ever? She could have said "no".
But she didn't. She did. After massive blowback she apologized. Now - she plays The Victim Card. Who didn't see this coming? And I had no intention of exerting one keystroke on her or this story. Until she played the Victim Card.
And why does she need an attorney at her side for a Q & A session?
This isn't about pushing the envelope of edgy comedy. It's a bad choice because of the chosen subject, President Donald Trump. And YES - I would hold to the same standard anyone doing Griffin's stunt with fake and bloodied heads of Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Bush 1 and 2, or any other living president.
I like edgy comedy even if it's in bad taste because it's something the Left does and I reflect that back on them. I suppose a mock beheading falls under Free Speech, the problem is that President Trump was the intended target. It is a threat to the President of the United States.
People will make the argument that the First Amendment does not give one the freedom in
Beheadings don't contain a large pool of humor from which to mine material. And beheadings kind of
Maybe if Griffin had been holding the head of the President of ABC, it wouldn't have generated attention. Unfortunately, all threats made against a sitting U.S. President are taken seriously.
Kathy, your "tears of unfathomable sadness, mmmmm- yummy...yummy!"
If you think I'm being too harsh on Griffin, this is not her first attack on Barron; consider this. USAJustNow.com:
During her speech in Boston on Wednesday night, loudmouth so—called comedian Kathy Griffin decided to target young Barron in her act, saying to the crowd that the child is “dead behind the eyes.” This wasn’t her first attack towards Barron. Immediately after Donald Trump won the election, Griffin openly stated that Trump’s youngest son, who is only in fourth grade, would be one of her main targets.By her own words, Griffin has had the intent to"go direct for Barron," on her mind much before this beheading antic.
“…I’m happy to deliver [a] beat down to Donald Trump — and also to Barron,” Griffin said in December [2016], according to Vulture. “You know a lot of comics are going to go hard for Donald, my edge is that I’ll go direct for Barron. I’m going to get in ahead of the game.”
Her little antic certainly supports the broad and sweeping generalization that "celebrities" are people who are a long way from being the sharpest knife in the drawer.
It's funny...The Left is the first group to the microphone to lecture on anti-bullying, speaking out about being bullied and verbally abusing children, yet this is exactly what Griffin did.
Kathy, your "tears of unfathomable sadness", make me laugh. You are not a victim. You are a perp.
