Kathy Griffin is now the latest victim of Donald Trump’s bullying after she participated in a photo shoot where she held up a bloody decapitated head that was in striking resembles the President.
Although she immediately asked the photographer, Tyler Shield, to take the photo down and issued a heartfelt apology for “crossing the line”, she is still facing many oppositions that are hindering her from moving forward.
After being fired from several jobs and comedy shows to receiving death threats, Griffin feels like the first family is bullying her. She was even contacted by the secret service. “What is happening to me has never happened in this Great country. A sitting president of the U.S…is personally trying to ruin my life forever.” Griffin said.
It is no secret that President Trump is known for bullying people who go against him in any way. But Griffin is not backing down without a fight. She has obtained a victim rights lawyer. But what is extremely controversial about this matter is that America witnessed the hateful and racist rhetoric that the Obamas endured for their entire 8-year term. And much of that coming from the current President himself. In 2012, Donald Trump was the originator of the “birther movement” by requesting for then President Barack Obama to reveal his birth certificate.
The Obamas endured dummies made in the likeness of Barack hanging from nooses, while others were burned at the stake demanding him to, “go back to Africa;”but conservatives hid behind the First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech to disguise the racially motivated disdain for the first black president.
Trump even used his 11-year old son, Barron, to gain sympathy from his followers; but many are asking where was this concern for Obama’s young children when Malia and Sasha witnessed their father being crucified for being the first black president? Although many may not have openly agreed with the way that Kathy portrayed 45, Twitter was not letting Griffin feel the burn alone. Many users are using Trump’s own tweets and comments made against Obama to defend Griffin’s photo.
An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud.

Ultimately, the country has been divided by a sitting president who has made it his mission to offend and bully everyone who not only came against his ridiculous stance on policies regarding “making America great”, but also that seemingly not a white male or what he deems as a “hot chick.” I find it hard to feel sorry for someone who has continuously made bullish statements towards others including the disabled. Hopefully the receiving of his own medicine will serve him the dosage he needs to realize that his own rhetoric needs to cease for the betterment of the country.
