Internet, Trump cultists, even liberals FREAK OUT over Kathy Griffin’s ‘Donald’s head’ photo shoot
TMZ was the first to report that comedienne and media provocateur Kathy Griffin decided to – well, be darkly comical and provocative:
Kathy Griffin wants Donald Trump’s head … but she wants it bloody and detached from his body.
The comedian posed for the gory shot during a photo session with famed photog Tyler Shields, who’s known for edgy, shocking pics. We got the pic before the release.
During the photo shoot, Kathy joked that she and Tyler would need to move to Mexico once the pics got released, for fear they’d be thrown in prison.
Supporters of the game-show-host-turned-supposed-president were, along with many others, not happy.
Kathy Griffin just proved 100% without a doubt that Liberals prefer terrorism, hatred, murder, anger and evil.
Glad I vote for good.#MAGA

Anderson Cooper? I don’t see him anywhere in the action. But I digress…
I expect shit like that to be posted by ISIS and radical muslims / islamists. Not a privileged white girl like Kathy Griffin xD

And yes, several progressive voices found the imagery rubbed them the wrong way:

“Kathy Griffin is too violent”—say the same people who supported Milo’s violent pig blood “art.” You can spare me the faux outrage. pic.twitter.com/lZbZk58xiS

Kinda weird that folks who found all of this amusing and called it 'freedom of speech' are now upset with Kathy Griffin. pic.twitter.com/EcGYwz6Zm2
