Kathy Griffin Does It Again, Says After Trump’s Plane Made Emergency Landing: ‘Ugh, So Close’

Hollywood star Kathy Griffin do it again and seemed to fantasy about the death of former President Donald Trump. Griffin apparently still holds a grudge over her disastrous photo shoot that went viral for all the wrong reasons.

She posed with a severed head that looked like Trump and the backlash was fast and furious and damaged her career. Trump said at the time: “Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11-year-old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick.”

“I sincerely apologize,” Griffin said at the time. “I am just now seeing the reaction of these images. I went way too far. The image is too disturbing. I understand how it offends people. It wasn’t funny. I get it.”

She should really be angry at her so-called friends in Hollywood who abandoned her over the joke gone bad but she seems to hold a grudge against Trump so when Trump’s plane lost an engine over the Gulf of Mexico and had to make an emergency landing in New Orleans it was not surprising Griffin said:

“Ugh. So close.”

From Politico:

Former President Donald Trump’s plane made an emergency landing on Saturday evening following his speech at a Republican National Committee-hosted donor retreat in New Orleans, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The plane was in the air for between 20 and 30 minutes before one of the engines failed and the pilot of the private plane decided to turn around and return to the New Orleans airport, one of the sources said.

The plane was en route to Palm Beach, Fla., where Trump resides at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

Audio of the communications between the pilot and the air traffic control tower revealed that the landing was described as “emergency in nature,” according to the source, who had been briefed on the recording.

However, another person familiar with the recording disputed that the word “emergency” was used.

From ABC:

The engine failure occurred shortly before 11 p.m. Saturday as the former president was traveling on a donor’s private plane from a Republican National Committee donor retreat in New Orleans back to his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago. One of the plane’s engines failed roughly 75 miles (120 kilometers) after leaving New Orleans Lakefront Airport, according to the person familiar with the incident.

Trump was traveling with advisers, a Secret Service detail and support staff.

A Trump spokesperson confirmed there was an emergency landing but declined to comment further.

Trump had been in New Orleans to speak to top Republican donors at a private gathering at the Four Seasons hotel. After the emergency landing, Trump’s team secured another donor’s private plane, and the former president ultimately made it to Mar-a-Lago early the next morning.

Ugh. So close.

Ya know, you would think someone who survived cancer would change the way that they are, have some kind of realization that they can do better with the life God blessed them with, but instead, the garbage like Kathy Griffin learn NOTHING, they continue to be the same pieces of utter sh*t they have always been..you can’t change people

To think that people who think like her are actually running our government now, is it any wonder that some here are rooting for Putin?

For Hollywood idiots, making that liberal political statement overrides every other consideration.

"the backlash was fast and furious and damaged her career"

She did it to boost her career in the first place. She knew exactly what the reaction would be, and used it to act like the victim and gain sympathy from the Left.

How could a celebrity think they wouldn’t get cancelled after doing that to a sitting President?

I’d give a dollar if someone photoshops Griffen holding a Biden head.

Two dollars if she holds a Joe and Hunter head. Just to see what the Left does.

““Ugh. So close.””

Lots of people on both sides say childish stuff like this about political enemies. I get it.

But she said this about a former President which warrants special scrutiny.

For career attention a lot of the libs do nude photo shoots or sex tapes, but clearly with her that was not an option.

She’s just saying what every single liberal thought, when they heard the news.

Ugly on the outside and ugly on the inside. Surely she hates herself.
