Kathy Griffin career implosion, day 2

Earlier today I watched Kathy Griffin's version of the Obama apology tour mixed with Hillary Clinton style meltdown.

Listening to Kathy Griffin's blame shifting press conference, one thing is clear, she should have shut up after her apology yesterday #tcot

After what appeared to be a heartfelt apology for going to far, today Griffin was all about blameshifting and justifying her action. If the grotesque, ISIS-esque 'comedy' was not career suicide, today's news conference should do it.

Griffin, who asserted that she has been contacted by the Secret Service, said the Trumps are “trying to ruin my rights forever.”

She sounds like a 6 year old. The Secret Service are engaged in due diligence - something Griffin should have done prior to participating in a mock beheading of a sitting president. As for the Trumps - how did she expect them to react? Stop pretending to be a victim mere days after you engaged in a mock bloody execution of a sitting president. Nobody's buying it, not even CNN.

Kathy Griffin is a symptom of a sick liberal culture

In case you missed the latest news cycle, this happened:

Here’s what’s happened in the past 19 hours: perpetual try-hard Kathy Griffin tweeted a photo of herself holding an extremely bloody and realistic (though extremely fake) decapitated head of Donald Trump, people got mad and accused her of promoting violence, Squatty Potty dumped her as a brand spokesperson, she deleted the image from her feed, she uploaded an apology video, and then President Trump tweeted that she “should be ashamed of herself.” Oh, and at some point during that timeline, the Secret Service got involved.

Normally I would not show this outrage but I think I have to do so at this point. As repulsive as this is, people need to see it.  It's liberalism with the mask taken off.  This is how they really think.  Kathy Griffin was simply doing what many progressive liberals are thinking.  Some liberals might only be mad at Kathy Griffin because she's errantly exposed their true feelings that they would dare not speak in mixed company.   Some no doubt are also legitimately offended by her actions.

People are rightly mad at Kathy Griffin. But she's not the real problem, she's just a symptom of the real problem. The real problem is a liberal culture that encourages free thinking ONLY if you agree with their point of view. The self-reinforcing nature of the liberal echo chamber creates an environment where it becomes not only okay but is encouraging of an attempt to push boundaries. Again, only so long as you push it in the direction they desire.

Kathy Griffin got too far in front of the curve of what is acceptable. But if this is allowed to continue, by 2020, her asinine attempt at humor might already be mainstream-ready. This is why the culture of political correctness and of liberal media domination needs to be repudiated and stopped. Without an effective countermanding voice to say "this is unacceptable", it is only going to get worse.
