Kathy Griffin is back, again reminding the population about her time in the limelight a few months ago when she posed with fake, bloodied head of President Trump. Rather than rolling with her apology and moving on with her life, Kathy has decided to again revert to this angry spectacle by taking back her apology for the photo.
In an interview with the BBC World News program HardTalk, Griffin took back her previous apology for the photo 1,000 percent.
During the interview, Griffin made excuses for the photo by comparing it to her past vulgarity:
Ive done many shocking things. When I won my first Emmy, I said, Suck it, Jesus, because this award is my God now! And you know, the conservatives took ads out in the papers. Thats what they like to spend their time and money on. So yes, I knew what I was doing.
Here, Griffin makes two absurd claims. First, that because she has done other disturbing things to rile people up in the past, that her photo with a fake beheading of President Trump is somehow not offensive. And second, that its a waste of conservatives time and money to speak out against her offensive actions. Griffin is trying to make a political statement here, claiming President Trump deserved such inhumane disrespect and condemning responses from conservatives.
In reality, she came across as desperate for attention and even less relevant of a comedienne by bringing the photo back into media attention.
Not only is Griffins claim a ridiculous and offensive attempt to make herself relevant again, but the fake news-peddling Rolling Stone and other liberally biased media sources used this to sympathize with her.
After describing Griffins interview in an article entitled Kathy Griffin Still Not Sorry Over Trump Photo: I Knew What I Was Doing, Rolling Stones Joyce Chen focused the rest of her piece on Trump and the medias negative response to her photo, seemingly depicting Griffin as a blameless actor having to face an over-dramatized response.
Chen proclaimed:
Since the image was first posted online in late May, Griffin said she has gotten death threats and hate mail, and still remains on a no-fly list after undergoing two months of federal investigation. CNN severed ties with her, and several of her tour dates were canceled[.]
Of course, Chen turned the article into a focus on the medias treatment of Griffin rather than her blatant and continuous disrespect for President Trump. Further, Chens article is then padded with a quote by Griffins photographer, Tyler Shields, who apparently was surprised at the medias response to the photo:

The day we realized this was going to be really crazy I dont remember if it was the day after, or a couple of days later I called Kathy and I said to her: Listen, this happened to the Dixie Chicks, if you remember, with the George W. Bush thing, and people were burning their albums, and driving over their albums or whatever.
Sorry, but you dont take photos like these, post them, and not expect the very reaction that ensued. The reaction was swift and appropriate, especially based on the very liberal-centric platform of political correctness, if not already solely based in the name of human decency.
By including this quote and ending her article with a reminder that Trump broke her, Joyce Chen successfully and artfully spun Kathy Griffins attention-seeking, offensive comments into a Trump and conservative hate-cry. And yet were supposed to feel sorry for her? No thanks.
It is going to come back and hurt her again.
She is one retarded byotch, isnt she?
That’s fine, we didn’t believe her anyway............
go away hagatha
Kathy Griffin, attention whore. Another hate-filled, self-loathing not-comedian.
See she didn’t mean it, her apology. She lied.
No, she’s not.
“Suck it, Jesus.”
The lack of respect for world religions among these people is what makes them so very dumb and happy in their stupidity.
I really wish she and Hillary would get lost.
Both are goofy has beens.
And the American People and OUR POTUS.45 TRUMP Have made it plain how we feel about Guys/Gals/Whatever w/Guns against America!
Some folks—me—refer to it as the Trump.45 POSSE! (RealAMERICANS—NOT AINO)Guys and Gals w/Guns against those Bad Guys w/guns against America, across America! THE ONLY SOLUTION!

Is she thd reason for the “red headed step-child” pejorative?
She’s just trying for another 15 minutes on the same pic - reduce, reuse, recycle and all that.
Sadly for her, the president is still easier on the eyes in that pic.
She will get her due. God will not be mocked.
Kathy who?
Hope so.
I look at her and her behavior and swear she is going through menopausal psychosis.
Joan Rivers was a great comedienne. Carol Burnett was a great comedienne. This Griffin *itch is just an ugly *itch.
Some are too ignorant to stop digging.
Isn’t that a net -900%, so she didn’t take it back and instead feels 9x worst about it than before.
