Kathy Griffin: ‘I Didn’t Realize How Racist and Sexist America Still Is’
Breitbart ^ | 11/08/2024 | Paul Bois

Posted on 11/08/2024 5:59:18 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Kathy Griffin, who famously took a photograph of herself holding a bloodied severed Trump head, blamed Trump’s win on racism and misogyny.

“I didn’t realize how racist and sexist America still is,” she said.

Kathy Griffin told ABC News’ Nightline in 2021 that she struggled with drug addiction and contemplated suicide following the intense backlash from her 2017 photo that featured her holding a severed head of then-President Trump.

“To be told by people in my own industry, ‘It’s over. Leave the country for five years. You’ve shamed our industry,’ on and on and on. It definitely got to me,” she said in the interview. “And so, I got to the point where I kind of agreed. Like, maybe it is time for me to go, and I’ve had a great life, and I don’t think there’s a next chapter for me.”

Funny how they were all about “Defending Democracy” until people actually voted

“It got to me”

Apparently not enough.

I hope they keep saying crap like this for the next decade or so. Keep calling more than half the country names. It’s such a winning campaign strategy.

What a stupid statement by Griffin.

Just because they didn't like Kamala doesn't mean they are racist and/or sexist.

Illogical conclusion.

Someday there'll be a seedy sideshow tent where rubes can pay 50 cents to see her head displayed in a ziplock bag. Figuratively of course.

Anyway, what the dizzy b**** doesn't want to accept is, the Demagogic Party is the party of racism and sexism and gender dysphoria.

Dems mindlessly invoke sexism, racism, transphobia, etc to explain their losses. It’s a short cut to thinking. Kamala was queen of the low IQ morons. They couldn’t comprehend how stupid she is.

Unity, Democrat style. All we can do is laugh at these clowns. They are just clowns not to be taken seriously.

Come on Breitbart. Don’t do this. Griffin is so D-List that the ONLY way she gets in the news is by making outrageous political comments and then Rightwing news sites like Breitbart link to them as clickbait. Let this ugly old hag remain in obscurity.
