Kathy Griffin: Trump is 'trying to ruin my life' after photo scandal
CNN ^ | 6/2/2017 | Sandra Gonzalez, Chloe Melas

(CNN) — Kathy Griffin is fighting back against the abuse and "death threats" she has received in light of controversial images released earlier this week that showed the comedian holding up a bloody head resembling that of President Donald Trump.

In a news conference on Friday, Griffin's attorney Lisa Bloom accused Trump and his family of "using their power to target her."

"If you don't stand up, you get run over," Griffin said. "What's happening to me has never happened in this great country. A sitting president of the U.S. ... is personally trying to ruin my life forever."

Bloom said the comedian was contacted by the U.S. Secret Service and said she has retained a criminal lawyer.

"As a result of the first family bullying her, she has been vilified, getting death threats, fired from multiple jobs and had multiple events canceled," Bloom said.

Bloom is a victim's rights attorney who is best known for representing high-profile clients, including former Fox News contributor Wendy Walsh, who accused the network's former host Bill O'Reilly of sexual harassment.(snip)

Griffin and Bloom believe the comedian has received harsher backlash because she is female.

"This is a woman thing," Griffin said.

Although Griffin tearfully apologized again during her press conference, she said that she will continue to use Trump as fodder for her comedic material.

"I'm going to make fun of him more now," she said.

Kathy Griffin: Trump is 'trying to ruin my life' after photo scandal

You stepped into this fight, now you are going to get the beating you deserved. Destroying you sends a message to other wannabes.

All of the bad consequences would have occurred as a result of her actions, even if the POTUS & family had not reacted with ONE WORD. She needs to suck up and pay the cost of her vileness and stupidity.

And her own actions had absolutely nothing to do with it, huh?

In this story:

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/06/02/kathy-griffin-breaks-down-made-horrible-horrible-call-broke-me.html

She blames it on “a bunch of old white guys”.

Yep. That should fix it.

Yes within a few days we have seen liberals make incredibly poor if not insane personal choices only to turn around blame everyone else (Hillary and the present viscous dingbat.)

KG! Keep on destroying yourself, you pussy bully!

Liberals are the ultimate bullies. They can dish it out and drop like lead weights in the ocean we give it back to them.

Right On Schedule !

ACTION PLAN FOR LIBERALS

Use this handy checklist whenever caught in a jam of your own making.

CHECK BOX AS EACH ACTION COMPLETED:

Feign Surprise That Anyone Could Suspect You Of Poor Judgement Or Wrongdoing
Claim That Your Critics Are Jumping To Conclusions Without All Of The Facts
Wait To see If The Media Is Able To Swing Public Opinion In Your Favor
Lawyer Up If The Uproar Doesn't Quickly Subside
Claim You Didn't Understand Your Actions Were Illegal Or In Poor Judgement
Issue A Standard Non-apology Apology
Act Contrite And Sincere But Also A Little Indignant
Accuse Your Critics Of Being Biased And Vindictive
Claim You Are The Real Victim Of Right Wing Zealots
File Lawsuits Against The People You Have Attacked Or Harmed

Observe These Guidelines:

1 - Don't ever admit guilt or act guilty.
2 - Remember - YOU are the REAL victim!
3 - Always pretend to be sincere.
4 - Once you have learned to fake sincerity the rest will come easy.
5 - The media will gladly defend you if your message is consistent and you provide them the proper talking points.

That's how I felt the last eight years.

Wow, this skank is really digging that hole deeper. If she were smart, she’d keep her mouth shut and stay out of sight for about a year and hope everyone forgets about this.....

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.”

Actions have consequences. Since everyone she hangs out with thinks just like she does, she thought that she could get away with being an hateful, foul-mouthed, unfunny witch.

I watched the press conference from a YouTube link on a previous thread. Liked hearing her complain about old white guys signing her checks. Her career seems to be in ruins, but she has the potential of becoming a champion if the radical left.

Actually, I think it’s fine that Kathy is getting lots of death threats via social media. Actions have consequences, you filthy disgusting skank! You’re no victim, it is YOU who are the filthy and evil bully.

I hope she’s scared out of her mind, looking over her shoulder constantly, etc. I also hope this entire situation destroys her financially. That’s exactly what she deserves.
