“I’m still dealing with the fallout from the photo in everyday life,” Griffin said. “I mean, I was walking down the street last week, and four people came up to me. [They] were screaming, ‘You’re a traitor, you’re an ISIS.’ Like I said, it’s almost comical. Like, oh yeah, ISIS is recruiting a lot of 57-year-old, red-haired Irish comedians. Yeah, that’s their first choice.”
More on Kathy Griffin
Last year, Griffin faced swift and bipartisan censure after the faux severed head incident. The comedian lost several of her scheduled events and gigs. Later, Griffin held a press conference where she alleged that she was facing cyber abuse and death threats. She also stated that Trump and the first family were actively working to “ruin her life.”
However, the backlash has not stopped Griffin from expressing her views about Trump. Last month, she referred to the president as “piece of sh*t” after the latter tweeted his condolences regarding the death of Arizona Sen. John McCain.
Take his name out of your mouth you piece of shit. You maligned his military service while you did everything to avoid serving. You attacked him repeatedly while you knew he was dying. And you cozied up to Putin while he did everything he could to oppose him.
