Kathy Griffin is a bully and a failed comedian who has built her career (if we can call it that) doing shock-stunts for the camera. She has viciously attacked presidents, singers, actors, and other comedians so it’s no wonder she’s so unpopular. In recent news, Grinnin announced that she was diagnosed with lung cancer and likely expected the public’s sympathy.
Well… she didn’t get it. In fact, Mehgan McCain from The View slammed Griffin adding that her diagnosis did not change how she felt about the comedian. McCain shared her disgust for Griffin’s publicity stunt where she posed with a fake severed head of President Trump but went on to detail how she has a more personal grudge against Griffin.“First I just want to say it’s terrible and very scary to be diagnosed with cancer,” the co-host shared on “The View” on Monday, according to Decider.com.
“It’s very tragic to hear of her having an opioid addiction,” she added. “Both things have hit my family very hard, and it’s just horrific to go through as someone who’s a bystander, let alone actually going through it yourself. My heart goes out to her in that way, and I hope for a very speedy recovery.”
Touching on Griffin’s decapitation photo shoot, McCain pointed out the hypocrisy saying that liberals would have been “a lot less reticent to have forgiveness” had a conservative comedian held up the head of a liberal politician like Vice President Kamala Harris, President Joe Biden, or former President Barack Obama.
“And I don’t like her because I don’t like seeing pictures of severed heads of anyone, any place, because it reminds me of what ISIS does to our soldiers,” she added.
McCain went on to explain her personal grudge against the obnoxiously red comedian. Griffin apparently attacked McCain’s close friend, singer Clay Akin. McCain explains:
“she made very, very, very cruel and homophobic jokes about him before he was out of the closet.”
“I think he’s lucky he didn’t end up becoming an opioid addict, given the degree of bullying that happened to him when he was still struggling to come out of the closet,” she alleged.
“I would love to hear an apology, if she’s doing this kind of soul-searching, for what could’ve happened with my good friend,” McCain continued. “I don’t like her, I’m never going to like her for all the jokes she made about Clay.”
