YOU MUST BE FREAKIN' KIDDING ME!!
Kathy Griffin Says She Feels Attacked by Trump, Blames Sexism.
'A defiant Kathy Griffin vowed Friday to continue making jokes about President Donald Trump,
and stressed that she believes she's been personally attacked by the president and the first
family.
Flanked by civil rights attorney Lisa Bloom, a tearful Griffin said she stands by her original
apology for the gruesome photo she shared on social media Tuesday.
But the comedian became defiant when speaking about the backlash she's faced, particularly
at the hands of the president and members of his family.
"What's happening to me has never happened, ever in the history of this great country, which
is that a sitting president of the United States and his grown children and the first lady are
personally, I feel, personally trying to ruin my life forever."
Bloom framed Griffin's stunt as a First Amendment performance piece and chided the president
for treating the incident as yet another high-profile celebrity feud.

"Trump does not realistically fear 56-year-old, 110-pound Kathy Griffin," she said. "Kathy Griffin
and Donald Trump are not equals; he is the president of the United States."
Griffin admits that her brand of shock-comedy does not meet everyone's taste, but she said
she believes backlash against her photo is rooted, in part, in sexism.
"Cut the crap, this wouldn't be happening to a guy — this is a woman thing," she said. "I'm not
afraid of Donald Trump. He's a bully. I've dealt with older white guys trying to keep me down
my whole life — my whole career."
Bloom backed Griffin's sexism charge, noting that male musician Marilyn Manson, and all-male
bands Municipal Waste and Gwar, have shared graphic images depicting the death of President
Trump — with relative impunity.
"They're all just considered bad boys," she said. "Unlike these male artists, Kathy apologized.
Unlike these male artists, Kathy has endured the most powerful man in America and his family
using their power to target her and her employers."...'

Jim Carrey comes to Kathy Griffin's defense: 'Hold up a severed leg as well'
'Actor speaks out about controversial photo, featuring the severed head of Donald Trump,
saying it’s the ‘job of a comedian to cross the line’
Jim Carrey has come to Kathy Griffin’s defense, speaking out against the backlash generated
by her widely derided photoshoot holding a facsimile of president Donald Trump’s severed
head.

Griffin posted a video on Twitter apologizing for the photo soon after, but on Wednesday, she
was fired from her job as co-host of CNN’s New Year’s Eve special. “I made a mistake and I
was wrong,” said the 56-year-old comedian.
At the premiere of I’m Dying Up Here, a new Showtime comedy he executive produced, Carrey told
Griffin to “hold up a severed leg as well”. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he elaborated,
explaining: “It is the job of a comedian to cross the line at all times, because that line is not real.”
He continued: “We’re the last line of defense. And really, the comedians are the last voice of truth in
this whole thing.”
Trump directly addressed Griffin’s photo, shot by Tyler Shields, in a tweet on Wednesday that read:
“Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron,
are having a hard time with this. Sick!”
In his interview, Carrey professed to having recently dreamed about playing golf with the president.
“I had a dream the other night I was playing golf with Donald Trump,” he said. “I was standing beside
him with a club in my hand, and I was considering my options when I suddenly woke up.
It was one of those dreams where you just want to get back to sleep so you can finish it, you know?”...'
