CNN 'Evaluating' Kathy Griffin's NYE role: 'No Decisions At This Point'
The Hil ^ | 05/30/17 10:09 PM EDT | BY MARK HENSCH -

CNN is evaluating Kathy Griffin’s role in its annual New Year’s Eve coverage following the comic's controversial photo shoot in which she posed with a decapitated, bloody head resembling President Trump.

“We found what she did disgusting and offensive,” CNN said in a statement Tuesday. “We are pleased to see she has apologized and asked that the photos be taken down. We are evaluating our New Year’s Eve coverage and have made no decisions at this point."

Griffin earlier Tuesday apologized for the photo, noting that she had crossed a line.

“I sincerely apologize,” she said in a 31-second video posted on Twitter. “I’m a comic. I cross the line. I move the line and then I cross it. I went way too far. The image is way too disturbing.” “I understand how it offends people,” Griffin added. “It wasn’t funny. I get it. I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my career, I’ll continue.”

Griffin also asked for forgiveness in the vide, promising to take the image down. The photo, however, had already sparked debate on social media and caused "Kathy Griffin" to trend on Twitter.

Griffin has co-hosted CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Live” broadcast every January since 2007 when she joined network anchor Anderson Cooper.

Cooper tweeted earlier in the evening that he was "appalled" by the photo.

I have an idea for a ball drop. Only simulations of course. Put a Kathy Griffin dummy into a coffin with CAREER marked on the side and lower it into a hole at midnight. That’s funny. Right, Kathy?

You feeling tired, itching, diarrhea, decreased appetite, rash, fever, cough, shortness of breath, pain in muscles, bones or joints, constipation, chills or shaking, feeling like passing out and nausea?

Just stop. Let it go.

CNN’s inability to fire her immediately is a reflection on the immorality that permeates the organization.

Kathy Griffin Tells Jesus to Suck It.

Did actress Kathy Griffin tell Jesus to ‘suck it’ and say that her Emmy was now her God?

SNOPES declared this as TRUE ( in fact we have videos of it ). See here:

The next time Kathy picks up a microphone the only thing I want to hear her say is “Do you want fries with that? Drive up to the second window please.”

I called. I’m wondering if the FEC can revoke permission to use the frequencies for their satellites in the USA.

The Church of Satan would not sanction this, but CNN apparently does.

You started it.

You could not rationally explain your comment, so you took to attacking and insulting me.

Yeah, sure. They won’t fire her. At most, she will disappear for a few weeks, then reappear at a higher pay rate. CNN favors this.

After all, griffin was just doing what the left’s favorite people do: chop heads.

CNN = Terror Organization

This is Kathy Griffin’s tribute to ISIS. She is encouraging the deranged people, and teaching ISIS how to run propaganda videos.

CNN is now using terror against the U.S. President.

CNN is not firing her, and so I guess CNN supports this and ISIS.

This is without a doubt the Lefts love of Islam.
