What A Shocker: Al Franken Defends / Supports Kathy Griffin's Sick 'Trump Beheading' Stunt

[Timmy]

"Al Franken is stepping up to support his friend Kathy Griffin after she sparked public outrage with a controversial photo shoot where she is seen holding a bloodied mask of President Donald Trump.

The 66-year-old senator and former “Saturday Night Live” writer told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on “New Day” that while he believed the images went too far, the 56-year-old comedienne can survive the backlash."

TO HIS CREDIT, At least 'Stuart Smalley' acknowledged what Griffin did 'went too far'.

----------

"Shields told Fox News on Tuesday that Griffin was hoping to create a bold message. “Kathy and I are friends and we work together before, so when we started doing this shoot, she said, ‘I’d love to do something political. I’d love to make a statement,’” he explained. “We kind of figured out what would be the best image to make out of that.”

What the hell was 'the message'? That liberal snowflakes, who called for Trump's assassination after he won the election, are engulfed in so much bitter hate that they would like to see the President beheaded in terrorist ISIS fashion?

It is made clear by this comment that the decision to do this stunt was not a 'spur-of-the-moment' / 'off-the-cuff' decision. Shields and Griffin spent a good bit of time coming up with their 'bold message' and supporting image/props chosen. That tells me Griffin is not at all apologetic about the message she chose to portray and how she did so - It tells me she is apologetic as hell her actions resulted in such swift repercussions over the intense backlash for her sick, pathetic stunt.



"Shields added the image was meant to serve as art and he’s aware that it could make some viewers uncomfortable."

Only sick, seditious, f*ed up, partisan snowflakes could consider holding a mock, bloody severed head of the President of the United States 'art'. I am sure ISIS agrees with them and appreciates what Democrats consider 'art', but TRUE AMERICANS consider that 'UN-ACCEPTABLE'!



Kathy Griffin gets support from Al Franken: 'I think she can recover'


Al, there is no defense for what Griffin did.....

After practically unanimous praise from you people for Gianfronte's attack on a reporter,

THIS is what you want to invest your outrage in? lol, totally unsurprising.

Remember trump saying his "2 amendment friends " would take care of Hillary?

They are chiding two year olds, doing anything to get under your skin including flinging and eating their own poop
They have no business in the public spotlight

I miss the good old days when RWnuts zealously defended the offensive, the politically incorrect,

as free speech.

The good old days of last week, lol.

curious, you yell bomb on airplanes do you?

No I yell Mommy!!! I hate airplanes.

Not funny, good taste has gone the way of good judgment .

 

[WEATHER53]

The statement she was making is-
"This is how I would like to see Trump"
It's well beyond infantile bad taste, it is suggestive of murder and criminal

Can't threatened the President
That is what she did
Morally reprehensible and criminal

Heard him on the radio state he was Ok with her and would not alter their relationship

WTF, the post said "suggestive of murder and criminal", learn to read.

Inappropriate or not, the First Amendment protects her right to free speech to the very same extent it does conservatives.

Conservatives just cannot understand, or accept the fact that the Constitution protects all Americans equally. It does NOT belong to them exclusively.

If a conservative comic had a prop showing the lynching of Obama, the righties would have been cheering wildly.

.

1. I see no conservatives advocating that the government penalize Griffin for the stunt. If you do, please show us where.
2. The 1st Amendment doesn't protect anyone from the consequences of their speech. If someone in show business pisses off their audience, they suffer. Has nothing to do with the constitution.
3. You obviously have no idea how conservatives think if you believe that of them.

If Mark Levin held up a bust of a severed Mohammad head drenched in blood the liberal shit storm would be unprecedented
This is the POTUS and you shit for brains "He's not my president " should be deported
We are going to right this ship whether you crybaby snowflake red head cu't worshippers resist or not

I believe you are the in need of working on your reading comprehension...

He said, "...it is suggestive of murder and criminal."

To put it the only way the wording can be interpreted:

It is suggestive of murder and it is criminal.

To say it is suggestive of criminal makes no sense.

Nice lie try

Can you imagine the massive, mind-blowing, rabid reaction that would have come from the Left had a Conservative posed for 'ART' holding a mock bloody severed Obama head?

Ah...you excuse what a well known liberal comedienne does by comparing it to some obscure racist assholes did? I'm sorry, Bodecea but that's a stretch! The point that was made...and it's a valid one...is that if a well known conservative did what Kathy Griffin did....they would have been subjected to a non-stop firestorm of criticism from the main stream media and become a social pariah overnight.

CNN fired her ass to protect her little buddy Anderson Cooper. Can't have any guilt by association with Vanderbilt boy.

It's not word parsing, it's the English language.
