Kathy Griffin Made the Secret Service’s List, What a Dumbass
Kathy Griffin done messed up this time. Why? A leaked photo showed Griffin holding the decapitated head of Donald Trump.

The photo was part of her shoot with Tyler Shields. He’s a photographer known for pushing boundaries. His past photos include a black guy lynching a fully-clothed, white Ku Klux Klan member. Another shows two black men forcefully holding down a white cop.
Surprisingly, to no one at all, the photo has earned Griffin a spot on the Secret Service’s s**t list. The Secret Service actually used Twitter to confirm their investigation of Griffin.

Great Leader does not appreciate this image, Kathy.
Griffin realized a little too late that you probably don’t pose with decapitated heads of our presidents. She had to tweet out an apology video.
In her video, she said:
“I sincerely apologize. I am just now seeing the reaction of these images. I’m a comic. I crossed the line. I move the line, then I cross it. I went way too far. The image is too disturbing. I understand how it offends people. It wasn’t funny. I get it. I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my career. I will continue. I ask your forgiveness. Taking down the image. Gonna ask the photographer to take down the image. And I beg for your forgiveness. I went too far. I made a mistake and I was wrong. ”
Let’s see how this plays with the righteous. Will they deem Griffin’s groveling worthy of their forgiveness? We shall see.
Griffin has had her share of controversies too. She angered the religious when she accepted an Emmy, saying “Suck it, Jesus, this award is my God now!” That’s not too offensive tbh.
She’s also not a fan of Trump, even before this photograph. She booed Megyn Kelly for complimenting Trump. A fake ad also had her yelling “F**k off” to Donald’s voiceover whenever he’d mention one of his pussy grabbing type comments.
Honestly, that photo isn’t anything shocking. Griffin probably should’ve erred on the side of caution though. Too bad. She’ll lose a bunch of endorsements and deals, so it’s not like she won’t feel any consequences. It’ll be interesting to see how long people will hold this against her.
