Kathy Griffin didn't expect that her eye-catching move would bring such a big negative consequence to herself.
She quickly removed the video, apologized, and hoped that the matter would pass quickly.
But Hillary, who was waiting to see Trump's performance, disagreed.
At Hillary's instruction, Kathy Griffin's supporters appeared.
The first to speak out was Kyle Smith, a full-time film critic of the New York Post.
In his column in the online version of National Review, he expressed his support for Kathy Griffin.
Smith first stated that he never liked Kathy Griffin. "I never found her jokes funny, but I still hope that CNN will not terminate her contract this time."
As a public figure who relies on word of mouth, even if Kyle Smith wants to stand up for Kathy Griffin, he must be careful about the "913" approach, so as not to get himself into trouble accidentally.
So he chose to support Kathy Griffin from a unique perspective.
"Griffin's behavior this time was very tasteless, but I don't want America to become a country where people's freedom to do such tasteless things is slowly being stifled because of the cowardice of advertisers - especially when you do such tasteless things to satirize those powerful people."
"The ideal America should not be such a place. It should be a place where circus clowns can make fun of President Obama, and unfunny comedians can take photos with President Trump's bloody fake head."
(PS: The "circus clown" joke comes from a bullfighting competition held in Missouri in 2013. A circus clown wore an Obama mask during the warm-up performance and , jumping up and down to the cheers of the crowd. However, the video was widely circulated and condemned by various media. The organizer publicly apologized for this "disrespectful" behavior and expelled the performer for life, even though he had performed the same trick in the past wearing the mask of other presidents. )
(To be honest, the circus clown's actions are much more restrained than Kathy Griffin. After all, the purpose of his performance is just to be funny, and there is no violence in it. Under the premise of freedom of speech, it is understandable. In contrast, Griffin's bloody head video is far from being funny.)
In fact, this Kathy Griffin has failed because of his outrageous behavior to attract attention. This is not the first time.
In September 2007, Kathy Griffin won an Emmy Award for "My Life as a Fourth-tier Actor", but her acceptance speech caused quite a controversy.
She said at the time: "Many people are busy thanking Jesus for the honor they received after they got on stage. But I hope you know that the reason why I was able to receive this award has nothing to do with Jesus. I won't thank anyone but him. He didn't help at all. So I can only say, Jesus, please save yourself. From now on, this award is mine.Oh my God!"
Bill Donahue, president of the Catholic League of America, responded immediately, accusing him of making "unbearable and blasphemous" remarks.
The organizers also dealt with Griffin's remarks at the awards ceremony that was broadcast later.
In the end, Griffin could only apologize to the public and lament that Americans lack a sense of humor.
Fortunately, the whole incident came to an end, without terminating the contract or canceling the cooperation.
In contrast, this time Griffin also knew that the situation was not good.
She was in the incident After the incident, she held a press conference and lamented in tears that her career prospects might be ruined.
But she said she would continue to criticize Trump. After all, it was Trump who "bullied" her and targeted women.
Martin watched the video of Kathy Griffin's press conference on the hotel TV and immediately called Ivanka.
"Tell Donald that this woman's words are too meticulous, different from her previous style. Someone must have taught her. Maybe that feminist lady (Hillary) has taken action, and there should be more people who will speak out in support of this Kathy Griffin."
Trump and his staff also watched the press conference.
His chief of staff also said: "This woman's words are trying to put herself in the position of a feminist fighter, and even want to 'kidnap' the entire female group to oppose the president."
"Fuck, I must make this bitch look good. "Trump cursed.
Martin's prediction was correct. Sure enough, within a few days, more celebrities spoke out in support of Kathy Griffin.
For example, Alec Baldwin, who played the role of Trump on "Saturday Night Live" and had repeated verbal battles with the original Trump, tweeted on the second day of the press conference to express his understanding and support for Kathy Griffin.
He cited a similar incident he was involved in in 1998 as an example.
That year, Alec Baldwin, who supported President Bill Clinton, said the following on a TV show about Henry Hyde, a Republican congressman who initiated the impeachment case:
"My current thought is that if we were in another country, we would rush to Washington and stone Henry Hyde to death! Then we would go to their homes and kill their wives and children! ”
Afterwards, Baldwin publicly apologized, but he insisted that it was just a joke, not a personal threat. 0 .......
He told Kathy Griffin on Twitter: "Kathy, fuck them, fuck their whole family. In fact, everyone knows that you are not really threatening Trump. And he is just an old idiot who can only use Twitter to bicker. Don't pay attention to him."
Then, Jim Carrey, a famous Hollywood comedian and Hillary's die-hard supporter, spoke out.
He said in an interview with VarietyHe said: "This is the job of a comedian: you have to cross the line and go too far all the time. And compared to that, what Trump does on a daily basis is equally crazy. We are the last line of defense. In this matter, comedians have to fight to the end and tell the truth."
He even exaggeratedly said that Kathy Griffin had not done enough. In addition to the bloody head, she could also hold a bloody broken leg in her other hand!
He said: "I know, I know, if I really do this, the effect may not be funny, but the key issue now is not whether it is funny or not."
He also took the initiative to reveal a dream to the media: "One day I had a dream. In the dream, I played golf with Donald Trump. I stood beside him, looking at his big head, holding a golf club in my hand. I remember thinking at the time, what can I do next. At this time, I suddenly woke up from the dream. You know, some dreams, after you wake up, you still hope to sleep for a while, hoping to finish the dream."
Obviously hinting that he wanted to hit Trump's head.
There is also Larry King, a famous anchor who has retired from CNN.
He said: "Okay, as a long-time friend of Kathy Griffin, I admit that what she did this time was really 'too tasteless', but I think CNN's behavior this time was also very unkind. It was a bit too much to fire someone for a joke. Where is our freedom of speech?"
(Brothers, please protect me, give me some comments, flowers, collections, and rewards, thank you.) .
