After left-wing comedian Kathy Griffin posed with a bludgeoned look-alike, severed head of President Donald Trump, social media has exploded with reactions to the controversial photo.
The image of Griffin, obtained by TMZ, depicts a gory, severed version of Trump’s head, as the former Fashion Police host stands with a cold expression on her face.
Now, social media users have gone online to express their disgust for the image:
Of course CNN will probably keep Kathy Griffin on the payroll for their annual New Years Eve coverage, cuz they want Trump dead too. Sad.

.@maggieNYT, will you ask @kathygriffin to go easy on @realDonaldTrump because he has a young son?
Or do you only do that for pedophiles?

Meanwhile, mainstream media reports downplayed the photo of Griffin, shifting the conversation to another topic:

No promises, but I’m hoping to keep @TheAtlantic free of news about both Chuck Woolery and Kathy Griffin.

“Why don’t more libs condemn Kathy Griffin?!”
Prob same reason more cons didn’t condemn Nugent? Bc they’re dumb & fodder for dumb outrage.

Griffin has forced her way into the mainstream, hosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve special for the last few years with Anderson Cooper.
The comedian-turned-political spokesperson also enjoyed a long run on Andy Cohen’s Bravo network as the star of the reality show My Life on The D-List.
Representatives for CNN and Griffin did not immediately respond to Breitbart News’ request for comment.
