UH OH! Will this update make Kathy Griffin accuse Al Franken of bullying?
Twitchy ^ | 6/2/17 | Doug Powers

Yesterday, Sen. Al Franken said he would go forward with a planned event with Kathy Griffin in July. But a day can make a lot of difference, because Franken’s reportedly changed his mind:

At a press conference earlier with her lawyer, Griffin accused President Trump and his family of trying to destroy her career and bullying her after her mock beheading stunt. Will Franken be next now that he’s reportedly changed his mind about appearing with Griffin this summer?

Stay tuned.

If you’re not with us, you are against us.

There is also a picture circulating of Kathy Griffin hugging up against Donald Trump. But of course, he was not the Republican President then.

When a number of people, who think that it is right to do the wrong thing doesn’t change the fact it is the wrong thing.

Thanks to Jim 0216 for the above.

Targeting Trump – Kathy Griffin in 2016: “my edge is that I’ll go direct for Barron.”…

Posted on June 2, 2017 by sundance

Against the backdrop of Kathy Griffin producing a video where she decapitated President Donald Trump; and yesterday hiring attorney Lisa Bloom to conduct a press conference scheduled for today, it is worth noting an interview Ms. Griffin gave to Vulture Media at the Equality Now Gala in December of 2016:

[…] “So I’m happy to deliver beat down to Donald Trump — and also to Barron. 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.”

If even far left politicians are realizing that Headchopper Griffin is terminally toxic, we are making progress.

Notice how Antifa has backed down in the past couple of weeks as well? Their handlers obviously have realized that all they are doing is mobilizing the hearts and minds of Americans against the leftist agenda.

Griffin’s press conference was the absolutely funniest thing she’s done in years. And bringing the low rent Gloria Allred as her “attorney” to spout feminist legal nonsense made it even funnier.

Could any pairing of human beings in the world be less funny than Kathy Griffin and Al Franken?

Kathy, if you hate white males so much, why did you hire a white male criminal defense attorney, and a white male photographer to take the picture?

This idiot woman made a very, very bad mistake; and, she seems to be compounding it now by accusing her victims of victimizing her. I sometimes tell people, at moments like this, that I have a tape of Charleton Heston screaming, "it's a madhouse, a madhouse", in my head. Well, there he is again.

She seems to have honestly thought that so many people agree with her about how "evil" President Trump is, that she could get away with an ISIS style photo. I guess it never occurred to her that a lot of people, and not just the POTUS' supporters, would be greatly offended by what she did.

Hey, honey, you decided it would be "fun" to do this photo shoot. You have bad judgement and are getting whacked because of it. An apology is needed, desperately; and, I am not talking about those non-apology apologies. You need to apologize to Donald Trump, his family and, particularly, Barron. Do that, and things might calm down a little; but, this is such a major screw-up by you, that it may take a while (years) to get back your career. Don't apologize, and keep trying to put your bad behavior on the backs of the people you victimized, and you will never work again.

That’s like the plague accusing cancer of being a bully.

She had sobbing and a Kleenex for a prop, but no tears.

Let’s see. An event hosted by an illegally elected senator and an alleged, way over the hill commedienne will probably draw two or three deaf and blind audience members.

Let me get this straight. An illegally-elected senator is attempting to ruin a purported comic’s career? Interesting.

More like a illegally-elected, chicken-$#!t, senator is distancing himself from a purported comic’s desire to see the president dead, which what he would like as well, but doesn’t have the conjones to say in public.
