Kathy Griffin Warns of Trump Targeting Comedians

Kathy Griffin has expressed her fears that former President Donald Trump will target comedians if he wins a second term, claiming he has a 'list' of personal targets. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she described how Trump would 'pick us off, one by one, like bowling pins,' naming fellow comedians Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel, and Rosie O'Donnell as potential victims. Griffin, who has faced significant backlash since her infamous 2017 photo depicting a bloodied Trump head, stated that she would not be his initial target due to her lesser celebrity status. She recounted the trauma from a federal investigation into that photo, which nearly led to her arrest for conspiracy to assassinate the president. Griffin criticized Trump for being 'petty' and uninterested in presidential duties, predicting that he would hold press conferences to denounce comedians. Her comments come as she embarks on her tour, 'My Life on the PTSD-List,' addressing the fallout from her past actions.
