Comedienne Kathy Griffin gave a once-in-a-lifetime (one hopes) performance in a tear-filled press conference on Friday that was part-defiant, part-contrite, and entirely pathetic. The now-former CNN New Year’s Eve co-host rolled out every tried and true leftist victimhood line in the book, portraying herself as the victim of sexism, bigotry, racism (well, sort of), and bullying from the enemy of all that’s good: “old white guys.” And not just any old white guy, the oldest and whitest of old white guys: President Donald Trump himself, along with his bullying family (which apparently includes his 11-year-old son).
“I’m not afraid of Donald Trump,” said Griffin, who claimed that the president is “trying to ruin my life forever,” after she culturally appropriated radical Islamic beheadings by posing with the likeness of Trump’s bloodied, severed head. “He’s a bully,” she said. “I’ve dealt with older white guys trying to keep me down my whole life, my whole career. I’m a woman in a very male-dominated field. … There’s a bunch of old white guys trying to silence me. And I’m just here to say that’s wrong. … This wouldn’t be happening to a guy. This is a woman thing.”
