Secret Service is investigating her for threatening the President....



But later in the evening, the Secret Service issued a statement -- which did not cite the controversy, but was issued in response to it -- which read, "The U.S. Secret Service has a critical mission. It is always unfortunate when people make statements that could be perceived as threats. We don't have the luxury of knowing a person's intent. Each alleged or perceived threat has to be investigated

You know it's bad when even the Church of Satan disavows her

Mike Cernovich tweeted..
CNN has yet to issue a statement about the Satanic-ISIS death threats made by its employee Kathy Griffin.

The Church of Satan tweeted back...
Replying to @Cernovich
Please do not include us in this.
Breaking: Church of Satan disavows Kathy Griffin

CNN gave a tepid response basically saying that they would think about the situation - code for: we aren't going to do anything. But heck, CNN still hasn't disavowed the pedophile Jacob Schwartz (the former president of the Manhattan Young Democrats) who was arrested for child porn and has been on CNN countless times.

As far as I know, no comment from the DNC, which she'd done a lot of fund raising for, and the majority of the democratic politicians appear to be silent.

Griffins apology was a non-apology.

Featured in the lead-in as a top story on CNN's New Day this AM. Being roundly and rightly condemned right now by everyone on the program.


Sooooo, you were saying?

I didn't answer the question because none of the choices fit my opinion. I think it's free speech and protected, but also neither in good taste nor funny. She has apologized.

I never understood her appeal.

Imagine the false outrage if the subject had been the previous President.

As far as CNN is concerned, it's clear they are no long a news organization.

Even Chelsea Clinton disavows Griffin's stunt.

I went too far': Kathy Griffin apologizes for posting a video of Trump's 'severed head' on social media after Secret Service suggests she will be investigated for threatening the president

This is not really surprising. This stunt is not the action of a liberal but rather a troubled irrational demented person.

Agreed. I actually really enjoy John Oliver most of the time when he isn't making fun of Trump, which is half the time lately. And then theres some comedians who are about as funny as a dead walrus, like the terribly unfunny Samantha Bee.

Anyway. Kathy went way too far. The office of the presidency deserves SO much more respect than that regardless of what people think of him. Many of these Holywood jerks are so attention starved and say negative publicity is better than no publicity. The lack of class by many on the left is hurting their brand, and as a whole they lack the self-awareness to realize it.

Yes, she went too far, and admitted as much after apologizing for the schtick.

Time for the media to step in and do its job. Media can get people fired when they broke no law.


She can do whatever, but must face some consequence from society based on her poor behavior.


Try posting a like photo of her or any other celeb or democrat politician and see what happens.
