[GodOfReader: Fuuuuuuck!!! i want to see some hollywood shit not this mf politician/president fucking each other. FUCK!]

---

Kathy Griffin never imagined that one attention-grabbing stunt would bring her such massive negative consequences.

She quickly deleted the video, apologized, and hoped the matter would blow over soon.

But Hillary, who was waiting to see Trump make a fool of himself, wouldn't let it.

Under Hillary's scheming, supporters for Kathy Griffin emerged.

The first to speak up was the New York Post's dedicated film critic—Kyle Smith.

In an article for the National Review's online column, he expressed support for Kathy Griffin.

Smith first declared that he'd never liked Kathy Griffin's persona: "Her jokes—I've never found them funny, but I still hope CNN doesn't terminate her contract this time."

As a public figure relying on fame, even if Kyle Smith wanted to back Kathy Griffin, he had to be careful with his approach to avoid dragging himself down.

So he chose to support her from a unique angle.

"Griffin did something very tasteless this time, but I also don't want America to become a country where, because advertisers are cowardly, we slowly strangle everyone's freedom to do tasteless things—especially when that tasteless act is satirizing those in positions of power."

"The ideal America isn't like that; it should be a place where circus clowns can mock President Obama, and unfunny female comedians can pose with a bloody fake head of President Trump."

In fact, this wasn't Kathy Griffin's first time playing with fire through outrageous attention-seeking behavior.

In September 2007, Kathy Griffin won an Emmy for My Life on the D-List, but her acceptance speech sparked considerable controversy.

She said then: "A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award because they've won an honor. But I want you to know, I got this award with absolutely no relation to Jesus—thank anyone but Him. He didn't help at all. So I can only say, Jesus, wake up. From now on, this award is my god!"

The president of the U.S. Catholic League, Bill Donohue, was the first to respond, criticizing her remarks as "vulgar and blasphemous."

The organizers also censored Griffin's speech in the subsequent broadcast of the awards.

In the end, Griffin could only publicly express her apology, lamenting that Americans lacked a sense of humor.

Fortunately, the whole affair ended there—no contract terminations, no canceled collaborations.

By comparison, this time Griffin realized the situation was dire.

She held a press conference after the incident, tearfully lamenting that her career prospects might be ruined.

But she stated she'd continue criticizing Trump—after all, the reason for her current embarrassment was the "bully" Trump, and he was doing it targeting women.

Martin watched Kathy Griffin's press conference video on the hotel TV, then immediately called Ivanka.

"Tell Donald—that woman's words were too subtle, unlike her usual style. Someone must have coached her. Maybe that feminist lady (Hillary) made a move. There will probably be more people speaking up for this Kathy Griffin soon."

Trump and his aides were also watching the press conference.

His chief aide said angrily: "This woman's words are positioning herself as a feminist fighter—even trying to 'hijack' the entire female demographic to oppose you, Mr. President."

"Fuck, I have to make that bitch pay." Trump cursed.

Martin's prediction was spot on—sure enough, within a few days, more celebrities voiced support for Kathy Griffin.

For example, the famous comedian who played Trump on Saturday Night Live and had repeatedly clashed verbally with the real deal—Alec Baldwin—tweeted his support the day after the press conference.

He used his own 1998 scandal as an example.

That year, Alec Baldwin, who despised President Bill Clinton, targeted Republican Congressman Henry Hyde, who initiated the impeachment, saying this on a TV show:

"My thought right now is, if we were in another country, we'd storm Washington right away and stone Henry Hyde to death! Then go to their homes and kill their wives and children!"

Afterward, Baldwin publicly apologized, but he insisted it was just a joke, not a personal threat.

He tweeted to Kathy Griffin: "Kathy, fuck them—fuck their whole family. Actually, everyone knows you weren't really threatening Trump. Plus, he's just an old white idiot who can only fight on Twitter. Don't mind him."

Soon after, Hollywood comedian and staunch Hillary supporter Jim Carrey spoke up.

In an Entertainment interview, he said: "This is what comedians do: always cross the line, go overboard. And compared to that, isn't what Trump usually does equally crazy? We're the last line of defense. On this, comedians will fight to the end, speaking the truth."

He even exaggeratedly claimed Kathy Griffin didn't go far enough—besides the bloody head, she could have held a bloody severed leg too!

He said: "I know, I know—if you really did that, it might not be funny, but the key issue now isn't whether it's funny or not."

He even proactively leaked a dream to the media: "One day I dreamed I was golfing with Donald Trump. I was standing right next to him, looking at his big head, golf club in hand. I remember thinking what I could do next. Then I suddenly woke up. You know, some dreams—you wish you could fall back asleep after waking, hoping to finish that dream."

Clearly implying he wanted to bash Trump's head.

There was also the retired CNN anchor, famous host Larry King.

He said: "Alright, as Kathy Griffin's older friend, I admit what she did this time was 'really tasteless,' but I think CNN went too far this time. Firing someone over a joke is a bit excessive. Where's our free speech?"
