Backlash Continues For Kathy Griffin In Wake Of "Beheading" Stunt

After posting a very graphic photo of a fake "beheading" of Donald Trump, comic Kathy Griffin took to Twitter to beg for forgiveness.

“I’m a comic. I crossed the line. I moved the line, then I crossed it. I went too far. The image was too disturbing. It wasn’t funny. I beg for your forgiveness.”

I am sorry. I went too far. I was wrong. pic.twitter.com/LBKvqf9xFB

The stunt is already affecting Griffin's bottom line as one casino has cancelled a summer appearance, and even buddy Anderson Cooper has denounced the photo as CNN fired her from her high-profile New Year's Eve gig.

CNN has terminated our agreement with Kathy Griffin to appear on our New Year's Eve program.

For the record, I am appalled by the photo shoot Kathy Griffin took part in. It is clearly disgusting and completely inappropriate.

Our politics have become too base, too low, & too vulgar, but Kathy Griffin's post descends into an even more repugnant & vile territory.

Kathy Griffin was way, way wrong. Kathy Griffin apologized.

Your turn, Trump and his enablers.(Pick one of many way wrong transgressions)
