I am glad that CNN terminated a deal with so-called comedienne Kathy Griffin today after she posed posing in with a fake severed head resembling President Donald Trump’s.
Among other things she seems to be a fool for believing you could get away with a stunt like that in modern times. Of course I expect she will have a following among rabid-liberals and probably ISIS and their ilk.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – CNN said on Wednesday it has terminated comedian Kathy Griffin’s agreement to appear on the network’s annual New Year’s Eve broadcast after she drew strong criticism for posing in photographs with a fake severed head resembling President Donald Trump’s.
CNN’s public relations department announced the decision in a Twitter post.
Trump said earlier that Griffin “should be ashamed of herself” for the photos showing her with a replica of a severed, bloodied head resembling his.
“My children, especially my 11-year-old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!” the president said in a Twitter message.
The U.S. Secret Service, responsible for presidential security, has opened an inquiry into the posting of Griffin posing with the severed-head replica, a spokesman in Los Angeles said when asked whether the agency was looking into the incident as a potential threat on the president’s life.
“We’re aware of it and we’re investigating it,” the spokesman, George Fernandez, told Reuters. He declined to elaborate.
A New Mexico casino, the Route 66 Casino Hotel west of Albuquerque, said it had canceled an appearance by Griffin scheduled for July 22.
Griffin apologized in a video posted to Twitter late on Tuesday.
“I’m a comic… I move the line and then I cross it… I went way too far,” she said. “The image is too disturbing… I ask your forgiveness.”
Celebrity news website TMZ published a behind-the-scenes video on Tuesday of Griffin posing with the model head for a photo shoot. She is seen reviewing the photos with photographer Tyler Shields and jokingly saying, “We have to move to Mexico today because we’re going to go to prison, federal prison.”
TMZ posted an image from the shoot on Twitter.
“This is vile and wrong,” Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, wrote on Twitter. “It is never funny to joke about killing a president.”
Trump’s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., called on sponsors of Griffin, including CNN, to condemn the comedian."

The hypocrisy is never more evident
Had a conservative republican "comedian" done this idiot move with a likeness of the 44th president the outrage and law enforcement activity would have been off the charts (rightly so, no matter the person in the office of president it's not a joke what she did)
But since it's "only" republican "only" President Trump it is just a foot note with a smattering of response

SGM Erik Marquez
SP5 Christine Conley - Please look up the word disingenuous ...it applies to your post.
Please link us to the pictures of video of a two time Emmy, Grammy, or what ever wining celebrity that posed for a main stream media picture session with President Obama and a noose?
Or the fountain 500 company CEO that did the same?
Or anyone other then some lowlife idiot that thought they were making a statement with the noose.
As for your final comment , ..No Ma'am not even close... There was NO SUCH like incident to be publicized, that is why there was no coverage. There was LOTS of coverage and outrage about the small minded racists with NO actual capability to impact anyone but other small minded minority racists.. So please, show us the mainstream celebrity that posed with President Obama and a noose?
