New in PJ Media:
There was a time, and it wasn’t all that long ago, when to be a successful comedian, you had to be, you know, funny. Only rubes and right-wing yahoos, however, are so naïve as to think such a thing today. Nowadays, all the most sophisticated comedians know that to gain enthusiastic applause and acclaim, all they have to do is say something about how evil and stupid Donald Trump is, and the world will be their oyster. Kathy Griffin was way out in front on this, and like all the brave innovators who have blazed trails for lesser talents, she is paying the price.
The Hill reported Saturday that Griffin says she has suffered tremendously for standing valiantly against Bad Orange Man: “One thing that breaks my heart,” the sensitive little shrinking violet and budding professional victim lamented, “is why I would say I’ve lost, probably permanently, about a third of my audience because of the Trump thing.”
The heart breaks. Will the MAGA persecution never end? Here is this engagingly impish humorist, who has dedicated her life to bringing joy into the lives of similarly selfless leftists who look to her for a bit of sunlight after dark days battling Trumpian insurrectionists and domestic terrorists. And what does she get for her tireless efforts to brighten the days of the heroes who are giving their lives to the fundamental transformation of America that our dear leader Barack Obama initiated and that still remains so sadly incomplete? Rank ingratitude, that’s what she gets. But what can you expect from the followers of the focus of evil in the modern world, one Donald J. Trump of Mar-a-Lago?
“The Trump thing,” in case you’ve forgotten Griffin’s service to humanity, involved her publishing a photo of herself back in 2017, in which she was holding a lifelike representation of Trump’s bloody severed head. She was simply expressing the not-very-well-concealed desire of a massive number of leftists, then and now, and so she has found the largely ungenerous response she has received to be bewildering.
The news hasn’t been all bad for Griffin: “I think I’ve gained some audiences that are maybe a little bit more political, maybe a little bit more liberal, but I used to play the South like crazy because they knew me as somebody that would make fun of Hollywood and the Kardashians and celebrities.” No more. Not only have audiences in the South turned against her, but, The Hill adds, Griffin was even “investigated for conspiracy to murder the commander-in-chief and put on a no-fly list. The same month, she was fired from CNN where she co-hosted New Year’s Eve coverage.” Yes, even CNN! Et tu, Brute?
There is more. Read the rest here.
John Allan says
I’m impressed that she still has TWO-thirds, who ARE hanging IN there!
I WONDER for how much LONGER!?

Leftist female comedians have never been funny, they wear their pathetic lives on their sleeves and the stupid audience has to pretend this is entertainment. Boring!
carpediadem says
Uh yes. Paying audiences choose where they put their comedy dollar. If they like it and you don’t, that means they go where they like to a show they like, and you do something else.
What Griffin did was revolting.
40 rounds says
Doesn’t change the fact that they aren’t funny. Liberals willingly spend their money for the “cause.”
WPM says
Say and do stupid things and lost fans so what. These are the entertainment cabal who want you to lose your job for having a Trump flag flown in front of your house These are the same people who dox supremum court judges homes and think it is justice if their families could be killed by crazed progressive idiot tools . These are the same people who if you use the wrong pronouns at your place of work want you fired. These are the same people who want a supremum court justice removed from a case because his wife flew an American revolutionary flag in the front of their vacation home .Making a mocking joke about killing a sitting president (President Trump was President when the joke was made) and you could lose fans should be the least of your worries.
Emilie Green says
Griffin is not even a Has Been. To qualify for that title you had to be been a Once Were.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
She was a supporting cast in a TV show from 1996-2000 “Suddenly Susan” starring Brooke Shields. It may be hard to believe, but she was actually funny then
Troybeam says
was she funny?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
In that serial, yeah!
somehistory says
Did she write her own lines?
mike says
?
England Invaded says
Must have lost a lot of body fluids as well. Constantly blubbing for years about it caused by her own arrogance.
Andrew says
As Kramer from Seinfeld told her “you should just give up”.
William Kemmler says
Well, how do we put this? Oh yeah, its “Feck Around and Find Out”. And Griffin did that to a tee. She staged a horrendously vile stunt and now is finding out what happens as a result.
So cry me a river, Griffin. You aren’t the victim here. You’re getting exactly what you deserve.
somehistory says
There was a book about a man without a country. At a trial, he said that he never wanted to hear the name of his country again. So for the rest of his life, he never heard the words.
It seems the moral of the story is, ‘be careful what you say (goes for doing, too) because it may come back to haunt you.’ Think before speaking; think before taking action.
What she did was crass and wrong. Now, the consequences.
James Lincoln says
So, according to the feature article:
“Kathy Griffin Says She Lost a Third of Her Fans Over Trump Severed Head Photo”
What did she expect to happen?
Bad actions= bad consequences.
Yogi says
She is a mental case , not even funny..
James Lincoln says
She’s got a good case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, Yogi.
