Ms. Griffin,
In your news conference Friday, you tearfully apologized for your abominable stunt with the blood soaked mask representing the President of the United States. I live in the Midwest, so although I hold three college degrees and have traveled extensively around the world, I am, in short, one of Hillary Clinton’s irredeemable deplorables. And yet, even I, short-sighted and uninformed as I must be according to the intelligentsia of the East and West coasts, even I recognize that what you have done can not be erased by an apology, no matter how weepy. No doubt, given the constant vitriol spewing from your liberal friends towards the President, you thought your little prank would be cheered and lauded. You thought wrong. What you accomplished was to wake up some Democrats who had passively listened to all the hatred. You made some of them realize that things have gone way, way too far. It is one thing to disagree with a president. It is another thing to repeatedly attack him with such a burning hatred that even logic and common decency are forgotten.
And your apology, reminiscent of Hillary Clinton’s endless commentary on losing the election, was more concerned with laying the blame everywhere but on your own shoulders. This was in response to then candidate Trump’s comments about Megan Kelly twenty-one months ago, you argued. But in fact, it was the exact, chilling representation of an ISIS fighter holding up the severed head of one of the Americans they had beheaded.
Then, in true liberal fashion, you blamed all your problems on your victim, tearfully saying that the Trump family had “mobilized their armies” against you. Really? I doubt that either CNN or Democratic Senator Al Franken would admit to being part of the Trump “armies” nor would any of the other Democrats who voiced their shocked outrage at your photo.
You go on to say, “It’s hurtful to me. There’s a bunch of old white guys trying to silence me and I’m just here to say that it’s wrong.” Well, Ms. Griffin, your “bunch of old white guys” included Chelsea Clinton and all the women of The View.
Chelsea Clinton: “This is vile and wrong. It is never funny to joke about killing a president.”
Jedediah Bila: “Like him [Trump] or not you can’t do this stuff with a sitting president and you shouldn’t,”
Sarah Haines: “He’s not just a president, he’s a human. I think the point is that’s an image that doesn’t make anyone sit comfortably.
Sunny Hostin: “It was crazy. I’m so offended by it. It’s so vile and foul.”
Joy Behar: “Well it’s two things, we can discuss and argue whether the joke is funny, but I don’t see a joke. Kathy [Griffin] even admitted it’s not funny.”
Whoopi Goldberg: “She thought she had the audience for it. And what she discovered is it’s not there. No one wants to see this. You can be as mad at him [Trump] as you want to. You can say stuff about him. Nobody wants to see this, it’s not funny. This is not a left or right issue. This is an issue of what is viable for us as a nation and what is not.”
So, not just the old white guys, is it? And your lawyer, Lisa Bloom, is also culpable of stupidity when she concluded, “The message is clear. Criticize the president lose your job and that’s what happened to Kathy.” Indeed. So why are MSNBC, NBC, CBS, CNN, the Huffington Post and myriads of other Trump bashers still in business? That argument doesn’t hold water either.
You conclude, Ms. Griffin, that President Trump broke you. But, as with all of your comments at that press conference, you were wrong again. He did not break you. You broke yourself. You have no moral compass, Ms. Griffin. You can not tell right from wrong, decency from indecency. I pray for your soul!
