Liberal comedian Kathy Griffin has recently been the subject of conservative backlash after sharing an anti-Trump tirade on social media. In a lengthy monologue, Griffin offered her opinion of what the next few years might look like under the incoming Trump-Vance administration, making alarming and unsubstantiated claims about Trump’s agenda.
Footage of Griffin’s commentary has gone viral across social media, where conservatives have reacted to it, labeling it an example of leftist celebrities who are out of touch with the interests of average Americans. “Kathy Griffin isn’t coping well,” said Libs of TikTok. Others highlighted how Griffin and other outspoken liberals have derided conservatives for years while focusing on social issues instead of addressing fundamental problems such as immigration and the economy.
“My favorite part is watching liberals, who have spent the last 8 years mocking the people in the “flyover states,” act as if they have such moral authority and compassion to both fight for and worry about the women who live in those states regarding the ability to get abortions…abortions, mind you, that these “flyover state women” have repeatedly clarified they don’t want and would never get,” another person said, calling out the way the mainstream left has treated Republicans.
Another person drew attention to the real issues Americans clearly cared about during the election where “people are out there trying to make a living and worried about their paychecks” instead of the agenda that leftists such as Griffin embraced, thinking that “killing unwanted babies and trans grade schoolers are the answers to the age old question of how to run a nation.”
In other parts of her anti-Trump rant, Griffin maintained that America would devolve into fascism under Trump. “I don’t think that our beloved country, America knows what it’s in for with a fascistic society and dictator. I’m not being hyperbolic. I’m not being dramatic. I had said this on tapes before, but I am shocked and crushed, and how many people I personally know did not vote or felt like there was no difference between the candidates, or just were too self involved to learn anything about it, and that that makes me sad,” she said.
“And you know, just because I live in California and have a lot of protections other states don’t, doesn’t mean there won’t be a federal ban on abortion,” she continued, ignoring that Trump and Vance have denied that they would sign a national ban. Griffin further claimed the U.S. would turn into a “Trumpian Christo fascist mega church” and complained about a hypothetical scenario where 15-year-olds couldn’t get an abortion if they got pregnant.
“Trump will crumble. I mean, he’s a he’s not looking too healthy these days, and then President Vance will be terrifying and horrible, because he’s as crazy as Trump, but he’s smart, so and the way things are going in this country, could then get reelected. We could have President Vance for eight years,” she said.
Griffin concluded by blasting America as “racist” and “misogynistic” over the results of the election. “I just did not realize how racist and misogynistic America still is. So we’re in this together, open minded people that are loving we’re not in together with the other team that wants to like kill trans people and have more guns in grade schools. Like, no, but we, like minded folks, just want a peaceful, healthy, progressive country, and we will keep doing what we have to do to keep it alive, even though it looks a little dark today,” she said.
