Kathy Griffin: I Faced a 'Conspiracy to Assassinate' President Charge

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Kathy Griffin says the day after she posted that now infamous photo of herself holding a bloodied replica of President Donald Trump's severed head last year, federal investigators had her facing a charge of "conspiracy to assassinate the President of the United States."

"That charge comes with a lifetime sentence," Griffin told Stephen Colbert on Friday's "The Late Show."

Griffin said that at the time "60 million people thought I was a member of ISIS."

"Oh yes, because they're recruiting a lot of 58-year-old red-haired female comedians," she joked.

1. Ridiculous!

"Conspiracy to assassinate the President of the United States". Please. Apparently they never saw some of the heinous pictures and theatrics directed toward President Obama. What a crock of shit. Poor Little Donnie Trump. He's soooooo persecuted!

2. So if she held a pair of dirty undies she'd be accused of humiliating his Lowness?

Or a red tie with a very narrow neck opening - strangulating the monster?

Or instructions on how to turn off his tweets - violation of first amendment?

Or putting sharp objects where he might grab - willful harm

Or calling him and his family a disgrace to humanity - non PC.

3. Depends......maybe yes.......

4. what happened to her was so fucked up

5. Considering trump IS NOT the president

that makes it an even more bogus charge.

6. Political persecution.

I think it warrants an IG and/or Congressional investigation into who is responsible for the ridiculous, radical treatment of a widely known comedienne.

7. but donnie calling for hecklers to be beaten up, or calling for *more* police brutality,

*that's* fine?

8. So if they are acting on something so trivial by one person ...

when will they investigate and bring charges against
Faux Snooze for its conspiracy to destroy America?

9. "a bloodied replica"

It was ketchup. On a mask.
