Gilbert Godfried also shot himself in the foot a few years ago, and AFLAC dropped him. Shouldn't come as a surprise. If it had been a Democratic President, and a similar stunt happened, the outcome would likely be the same.

CNN is a news organization not Bravo TV - this is not a "real housewife" that flipped a table

She's been fighting a losing battle for relevance since Amy Schumer has emerged.

I think it was necessary. She is a fucking idiot and we don't need that pathetic attention grabber reflecting negatively on liberals. Nip that shit in the butt and move on.

from MSM CEO's afraid of the creature called our potus? Kathy Griffin did NOTHING wrong. It was comedy and the RW cucks are all aggrieved. So what. He's not civil, respectful when it comes to his racist, sexist, bigoted views and how those views are being implemented as policy. Fuck trump!!!!!!

Hell, the MSM is who created this monster. They are not to be respected either. I just hope this cancellation doesn't hurt her with her bottom line, financially. Otherwise she has my loudest applause.
