Calling her firing from CNN “censorship,” comedian Kathy Griffin said in a press conference Friday that she would stand up for free speech in the face of fallout from a controversial image of President Trump she tweeted this week.

“I am not afraid of Donald Trump. He is a bully,” Griffin said.

While Griffin expressed remorse for posting an image of herself holding a bloody mask of Trump, she also accused Trump and his family of “bullying” her, and hit out at CNN, which on Wednesday fired her from its New Year’s Eve broadcast.

Fallout from her tweet was quick and severe, with celebrities and members of both parties criticizing Griffin for going too far. Trump responded to the post Wednesday morning, tweeting that Griffin should “be ashamed of herself.”

That picture makes me laugh. She’s so disingenuous.

[ She, intentionally and with malice aforethought, participated in an effigy slaying of the POTUS. ]

That is correct. Off to prison, Kathy!

Griffin says she’s standing up for free speech

Griffin should stand up and exercise her free speech rights. The Constitution protects her rights from government interference.

The entire premise of the Constitution is that the individual may do anything they please, as long as their actions harms neither the person or property of another citizen.

There are consequences in law when harm comes to persons or property because of the actions of another. There are also consequences in society.

I guessing she’s already inspired some leftist lunatic loons.

Pray for President Trump and the Secret Service.

The comments are great.

I know people who aren’t big fans of Trump who are now defending him.

And condemning her.

I have not heard ONE word of support of her.

As it should be.

Free speech doesn’t cover fomenting murder/assination/sedition/treason..... or yelling “fire” (when there isn’t one) in a crowded theater.

The skank is guilty!

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 really well the rest will come easy)
4 - The media will gladly defend you if your message is consistent and you provide them the proper talking points.

Let’s really see how funny she can be. She should stage the same video using the mocked-up, bloody severed head of Obama, or better yet, a likeness of Mohammed. Talk about death threats....idiot!

All she has to do is dress up as an Obama Rodeo Clown.

INSANITY: The final frontier.

These are the mad mental journeys of the unbalanced leftists.

Their continuing mission:

  • To test the boundaries of mental competency.

  • To destroy life, civilization and all that is good.

  • To inexplicably go where no rational person has gone before.
