Trump ‘absolutely used me’: Kathy Griffin STILL playing the VICTIM in that severed head incident

Remember how bad you felt for comedian Kathy Griffin when CNN dropped her from its New Year’s Eve show … just because she had done a photo shoot in which she posed, ISIS-style, with President Trump’s bloody, severed head?

Well, get ready to feel bad all over again, because Griffin’s still not done talking about it.

“[Trump] absolutely used me as a tool to distract from his bad news of the day."https://t.co/AMXtKkxTUZ

Politico on Tuesday published a piece on “What happens when Trump targets you on Twitter” and included Griffin among those “targeted” by Trump … just because of that whole bloody severed head thing. For the record, here’s how he targeted her:

Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!

Griffin told Politico about the damage done to her career after Trump posted that tweet.

In the days after Trump highlighted the photo, the Emmy Award-winning comedian was fired from CNN, where she was set to co-host the channel’s New Year’s Eve show alongside Anderson Cooper. She was dropped as a celebrity endorser for Squatty Potty. The Secret Service launched an investigation. Today, she says she still can’t book a gig anywhere in the United States. Griffin blames the change in her status to the president personally driving the outrage machine.“I think it would have been gone in a week without his tweet,” she admitted. “Trump knows what would be perceived as something hysterical and he loves hysteria. There are millions of people who think I’m a member of ISIS to this day.” …

… according to Griffin, Trump’s response to the photo was a calculated move to distract from firing former FBI Director James Comey. “It was very soon after the Comey firing,” she said. “He absolutely used me as a tool to distract from his bad news of the day.”

So she blames Trump’s tweet — and not her tasteless photo — for her career troubles. Maybe the photo shoot was just a bad idea?

Well, @KathyGriffin, that's what tools are for. To be used. And you are DEFINITELY a tool.

Is she trying to suggest that it's Trump's fault that she did a photo shoot of her holding Trump's severed head? These people are insane. https://t.co/ZlebOOQN7b
