GOP rep says Trump is right to attack Griffin

Author

03 June, 2017

On Friday morning she stood beside civil rights attorney Lisa Bloom and criminal attorney Dmitry Gorin, who said that the images of Griffin with the severed head had been misrepresented. "You guys know him".

Griffin is now hoping Trump accepts her apology after she filmed a follow-up video in which she stated: "I sincerely apologize".

I couldn't have said it better myself. And today it's me.

Griffin said the photo was meant to mock Trump's comments during the presidential campaign, when he told CNN that Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly had "blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her - wherever" when she moderated a 2015 presidential debate.

Following the release of the photo, the president tweeted, "Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself".

Route 66 Casino in Albuquerque canceled her July 22 performance, and the Center for the Arts in Grass Valley, Nev., and Uptown Theatre in Napa canceled two June shows.

"He broke me", she said through tears. "I'm going to be honest - [Trump] broke me".

In 2015, a web report said she weighed 121 pounds. "I love what do, I love making people laugh more than anything in the world".

Griffin gradually regained her composure, proclaiming, "He wants to mess with me?"

"This has been a living nightmare for Kathy", attorney Lisa Bloom announced at the top of Kathy Griffin's freakish press conference held Friday at Bloom's suburban LA office.

Until candidate Trump. Complaining about the constraints of political correctness (or, as some of us prefer, humane consideration), he stomped on the Constitution, validated violence against dissenters, demeaned people with disabilities, bragged about sexual assault and dismissed due process - remember "lock her up?" - without a history of humor that Kathy Griffin lamely claims.

On Friday, the 56-year-old comedian and her attorney, Lisa Bloom, addressed the media to "explain the true motivation behind the image, and respond to the bullying from the Trump family she has endured", Griffin's rep said in a statement ahead of the press conference. He added that Griffin was trying to portray himself as the victim and direct attention to her.

Griffin, too, said the response she received was unprecedented. She said five employers had canceled scheduled shows since then, and she'd been fired by CNN. "I've dealt with older white guys trying to get my down my whole career".

There is, however, something known as the Kathy Griffin Salad.

"While I think this was the wise choice and the only choice, I still believe you've done severe damage to your reputation and business in the delay of doing so". On Wednesday, in a flurry of tweets, he called her subsequent apology "phony".

Bloom is quite familiar with Trump: She represented Jill Harth, the first woman to publicly accuse Trump of sexual misconduct. Griffin, a fierce advocate of the LGBT community, told the Hollywood Reporter that "you don't throw around the f-word without hearing from me about it".
