Kathy Griffin Claims Trump Will Target Comedians If Re-Elected: ‘Going To Pick Us Off, One By One’

Comedian Kathy Griffin is worried that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump plans to go after comedians if he is re-elected in November. 

“He’s going to pick us off, one by one, like bowling pins, and I’m not kidding and I’m not being paranoid,” the celeb told Entertainment Weekly during a recent interview. 

“I’m a D-lister, he’s not going to get to me on day one, but he’ll get to me, trust me,” Griffin continued. “He’s got a list. I’ve known this guy for 25 years, maybe 30. He’s so petty that he lives for this. He doesn’t want to be President or do any president-ing.”

Griffin referenced the infamous photograph from 2017 of her holding a replica of Trump’s decapitated head in her hand. That image and the extreme backlash she received inspired Griffin to create her current tour, called “My Life on the PTSD List.”

Griffin, 63, also told the outlet she was almost arrested for conspiracy to assassinate the President of the United States following a “chilling” investigation.

She went on to make predictions if Trump returns to the Oval Office. 

“If he gets re-elected, he’ll go after Jimmy Kimmel, he’ll go after Jon Stewart, all the name ones, but he’ll go after Rosie O’Donnell. That’s all he’s going to do all day,” Griffin told the outlet. “He’ll have press conferences about it. He’s so much crazier than he was the first go-round.”

The photographer who helped Griffin create the severed head image in 2017, Tyler Shields, told EW at the time that Griffin had expressed she was perfectly fine with going to jail for the image.

“Fortunately, we have freedom of speech [in the first amendment], and all art is generally protected by these things, but again, this was [Griffin’s] first thought, ‘Will you bail me out of jail?’ You know, again, it wasn’t, ‘I don’t want to do this because I might go to jail.’ It was like, ‘Well, I’m gonna do it and whatever happens, happens.’”

Griffin later publicly apologized for the image and has since expressed regret, saying it caused her to lose many social media followers. 

Activist Featured In ‘Am I Racist?’ Moana Clip Rails Against Film: ‘Piece Of S***’

A self-styled “anti-racist scholar-practitioner and facilitator” who makes outlandish claims about racism in Matt Walsh’s latest film, “Am I Racist?”, is now railing against the documentary, calling it a “piece of s***.”

Dr. Katie Slater suggests in the film that it’s problematic and racist to let three-year-old white girls dress as the Disney character Moana for Halloween since the character is not white. The clip of her interaction with Walsh, who is pretending to agree with Slater’s far-Left racial ideology, has gone viral online. And Slater is none too pleased.

“This piece of s*** film comes out on Friday,” she wrote on Instagram, “and if you’re wondering why I’ve been off the radar, it’s because I have an inbox full of angry white men who are incensed that I don’t let my daughter dress as Moana for Halloween.”

Walsh published a screenshot of the Instagram post and quipped that Slater should be proud of her part in the film.

“The woman in this clip, Kate Slater, is speaking out about our film,” he wrote on X. “She calls it a ‘piece of s***’ and says she’s gone ‘off the radar.’ Her X account has also been deleted.”

“I think she should be more proud of her pivotal role in the film,” Walsh added. “We couldn’t have done it without her.”

“My daughter is four years old. I am an anti-racist educator. She’s still watching Disney movies and she’s choosing a white princess over princesses of color,” Slater complains to Walsh, during the film.

“Have you talked to her about that?” Walsh responds. “All the time,” Slater says, sounding exhausted.

Walsh then says his 3-year-old daughter loves the character Moana, who is a Pacific Islander, and Slater agrees this is a “good sign.”

But there are also racial problems with Walsh’s daughter liking Moana so much, according to Slater. The activist argues that it would be racially problematic for his white daughter to dress up as Moana, a character “of color,” for Halloween.

“Do I go and buy the Pacific Islander native attire for my white three-year-old?” Walsh asks the anti-racist scholar. “Um, I wouldn’t,” Slater responds. “I f***ing wouldn’t.”

“No matter which way you go, you end up back at racism,” Walsh sums up Slater’s views.

“We think every space belongs to us, because we live in a white supremacist society,” she explains, before confirming to Walsh that America is an “inherently racist” nation.
