sparramore And people like you are the reason this is the greatest country ever! Not everybody likes Kathy, but you are why we are great. You "get it".
EARTH ONE first it IS free speech...that said the debate is exactly as you say...did it rise to the level of irresponsible. I agree it was in poor taste and at best was on the line and maybe it crossed some lines for some people. But the response from the right wing is where we should all be concerned. If the roles were reversed how would you feel if your response to my post was considwred unlawful and resulted in you having to hire a lawyer to defend your opinion? We are on a slippery slope and my opinion is that government took disproportionate actions.
Yeah, and what excessive backlash would that be? She knowingly pretended that she killed trump, was blamed for a conspiracy to assassinate the president, targeted Trump's children and his wife, and is supposed to be treated like a special snowflake? Jesus Christ.
@patrick m Normal Americans don't want socialism, want to murder babies, favor illegals over Americans or believe there are 70+ genders. Normal Americans want America back, and you will see proof of this in 2020 when Trump is still President, hell he may be the first to get a 3rd term if he keeps following through with his promises.
I think the more disturbing is a USA president using his power to silence and investigate a comedian, as though comedy is a real threat in USA. Freedom of speech is dying in USA. Do you guys think Obama will be rage if she did that to Obama?
Not at all strange... If you were prez and some whacko made a skit about beheading you and tried to pass it off as comedy, I'm sure you'd do exactly that to her.
Worrisome that trump & family feared physical harm from a famous comedian, enuff to warrant intensive gov't. investigation. I guess this wasn't a "nothing burger" - the term used to defend trump jr. as he gleefully displayed the head of President Obama in cake form. Obama didn't have the time or inclination to spend our tax dollars on intimidation, publicly humiliation and infliction of maximum punishment. See the difference? I imagine seeking vengeance of real and IMAGINED slights, however small they may be, costs considerable time & gov't. resources that could be spent making America great again. I'm glad trump makes every effort to close the political divide that is tearing our democracy apart. He's the best deal maker in the world that surrounds himself with the smartest people in the world.
YASSSSS! I love that she's making a comeback. Can't wait to see her in Toronto. Thanks CBC for giving her a platform to explain what Trump has done to her!
Sven3xs when speaking on being TOO educated, it looks best if you spell it correctly, so people don't question your own level of education. Just saying.
Let's talk about the "mental health" of our president,..they were all so "disgusted" with this, yet aren't disgusted with all the bullying that spews from Trump's mouth. Stay strong Kathy,..we're all on your side!
No matter what Kathy did. I was still on her side and I still love her as much as I did before.. We live in the Free World she is allowed to say and express our First Amendment right...
Sunny Navarrette show a depiction of beheading anybody is not right no matter who is running for presidency I would be appalled if anyone did this to George bush, Obama, Hillary Clinton that’s just something you don’t do, they’re are many countries that behead innocent people how are we supposed to be taken seriously with people like her being shown off doing stuff like this anyone with class and dignity would know better.
Agreed, but let's not act as if her being investigated by the DOJ is unheard of. Obama used the DOJ and FBI to investigate journslists. While I personally disagree with anyone doing what she did, I also believe in free speech. I blame all the sjw's for this type of response. When you cry about everything at some point others will cry about what you do. This pc bs has to end ppl need to grow some skin. I found it funny that Hollywood turned on her o quick when they produce films killing Presidents and with the sexual misconduct they all kept quiet about for paychecks.
I was told a few days ago, "Look into the reflections and see the watcher being watched"? Kathy Giriffin's is the prime example of that. Oh she's not alone anymore and that's the good part.
huajie666 liu yeah republicans are complaining about free speech, until it's a woman with an opposing opinion, or it makes fun of dear leader, or it's a person from the left. Can't claim that you care about the constitution if your trying to shut anyone up on either side.
You have freedom of speech, you do not have freedom of consequences to said speech. D list celebrity took a swipe at the president then cried when she was hit with the backlash.
Wendy Reis - I agree. trump putting up a video of a train running over a person wearing a CNN logo for a head along with the one showing a CNN person being beaten up at a wrestling match is okay. If he was worried about "children" seeing violence, maybe he should change what he posts.
PaddlePotion- Since it was a MASK with ketchup your statement is a non-starter. What trump does is put up bully comments, lies and rants. His tweeter account would be suspended if he were not the president.
She is right. There was misogyny and sexism, and I'd love to know who the men were around her at that time convincing her to apologize. For holding a mask with ketchup on it. I= hope she fired them.
Love the medias take on it 0:08 "the image of her holding a mask of what looks like president Donald trumps severed head". So it just looks like it? LOL!
Although legal and considered Free Speech it is utterly distasteful and disrespectful, especially to his family members. Free Speech protects her right to do it but it doesn't protect her from our reactions and opinions.
OMG! Is that a reporter? She's attacking her! Griffin is a smart hilarious woman. She's a comedian, she doesn't go after celebrities... Very distasteful interview and amazed that Griffin stood so well for the whole thing.
She was never particular funny in my opinion and while the head thing may have been over the top, it was no reason to go after her. People getting offended by that really need a reality check. Comedy same as with other arts are there to expand our understanding of reality and she did that.
Yes kathy, at the end u nailed it...misogyny, sexism played a big role, the dixie chicks had to deal with the same nightmare after they criticized the iraq war!! America in general has alot of growing up to do
And yet, Art Knight, her mask covered in ketchup has not caused anyone to do anything to your poor beleaguered Bully-in-Chief. The only action taken has been against Kathy Griffin, and she did apologize. But I guess apologies are no longer acceptable in this new era of discourtesy, are they? I've never heard Hair Furor apologize for anything, and he has insulted and called for terrible things to happen to so many people, it's pathetic and hideous. But I guess it's okay when he threatens people, right? It's just not okay when a woman teases him back. (Or, for that matter, President Obama.)
It was disgusting and tasteless, there's no denying that... but she made one freaking mistake. Let's stop the witch hunt... sometimes it's like we've come no way at all, one misstep and people are cast of to the island never to return. I would hate being a public figure in these times.
Being an American and living under this trumpism makes me wonder about their mental stability not Kathy Griffin this is America we have the right two Street free speech and satire get over it people
IndigoXYZ18 because they use such foul language... they make pointless comments based on emotional narratives. They condone violence on those that disagree with their worldview... and they are sad to have lost a big race.
trump is in no sense better. he posted a video of himself beating up a cnn reporter. he isn't fit to judge. he's a hypocrite. why should we forgive trump if you lot won't forgive kathy? what was that bit in the bible about those without 'sin' being only able to cast the first stone? so you lot can drop your stones.
chiefdancingostriche omg!! Stop the press on that one!! Wow he re-tweeted a video of a photoshopped WWE wrestling match with his head on it! No comparison to a bloody severed head and she’s holding it.
well when the news finds you newsworthy I guess they might have a more educated opinion than you do. these shows only play what people want to watch so....
Never has a president done that to a comedian, yet, never has a comedian taken a macabre picture of the president like that either. She was right when she said she went too far.
@CBC ...this woman's artwork, is beyond barbarism. Reminding us the viewer, of her vileness is terrible; secondly, giving her a platform to spin her position (ie it's all trumps fault) is disingenuous to the truth. This comedian crossed the line, and providing her a platform to spin her woe is me diatribe is a disservice to your viewers.
I love Kathy Griffin! I think she should play Melania in the comedy movie to follow after CHEETO-HEAD-CHUMP is indicted, convicted and sentenced to lockup. GO KATHY GRIFFIN!
It was in poor taste. I felt bad for Barron, just as I felt bad for Obama's daughters, Clinton's daughter, etc... Comediennes are always going to push and leap over the line to get a laugh. None of them think about or care to be honest how it will impact the children of any President.
How much of your time do you spend watching videos featuring people you openly hate...? Don't you deserve to be happy? I recommend Cute Overload but that's off this platform.
wow her scandalous downfall actually became her biggest money making career move ever......
I love how she said " I took it back and I regretted it"
Holding a mask is disgusting, but holding up an elephant`s cut off trunk isn`t?
I am not a fan of her style but I am a fan of free speech.
sparramore And people like you are the reason this is the greatest country ever! Not everybody likes Kathy, but you are why we are great. You "get it".
why are Jims C. paintings hateful because they depict the true world? wow
Good for you Kathy Griffin fight back. he's nothing but a big f****** bully.
Me too ... now can you please change that disgusting avi, because it's really grossing me out.
EARTH ONE first it IS free speech...that said the debate is exactly as you say...did it rise to the level of irresponsible. I agree it was in poor taste and at best was on the line and maybe it crossed some lines for some people. But the response from the right wing is where we should all be concerned.

We are on a slippery slope and my opinion is that government took disproportionate actions.
While I was not a fan of the head photo, the backlash she got from the American government was way out of line.
the backlash is from the American people elton
Yeah, and what excessive backlash would that be? She knowingly pretended that she killed trump, was blamed for a conspiracy to assassinate the president, targeted Trump's children and his wife, and is supposed to be treated like a special snowflake? Jesus Christ.
ArcticWraith323 no but putting her on a watch list for people attempting to assassinate the President was complete joke.
A

Kathy is so strong. I really admire her.
LOVE CBC to have her!! Love Kathy and never censor comedy!
I think the more disturbing is a USA president using his power to silence and investigate a comedian, as though comedy is a real threat in USA. Freedom of speech is dying in USA. Do you guys think Obama will be rage if she did that to Obama?

rewer Obama silenced members of the media.
Obama weaponized the IRS as well.
He had very thin skin.
@Milton Friedman
you lie as easily as trump does.
Land of the Freeeeeeee????? you kidding- she is a comedian! She's got guts, Trump has said much worse things than she has done!
She is amazing. Always loved Kathy
YASSSSS! I love that she's making a comeback. Can't wait to see her in Toronto. Thanks CBC for giving her a platform to explain what Trump has done to her!
Sven3xs when speaking on being TOO educated, it looks best if you spell it correctly, so people don't question your own level of education. Just saying.
what she did to herself?
E Rogers Disgusting!!! SHE IS NOT A ROLE MODEL FOR YOUNG GIRLS?!?! Horrible
WAIT, what trump did to her? Pretty sure she did this to her self. This wouldn't have happened nor would the result if she didn't do what she did.
her show is amazing, you're in for a treat
Let's talk about the "mental health" of our president,..they were all so "disgusted" with this, yet aren't disgusted with all the bullying that spews from Trump's mouth. Stay strong Kathy,..we're all on your side!
Yeah because Kathy Griffin is the perfect example of being mentally healthy...
Bullying lol says the one who's political side thrive on Bullying others with different narrative.
And the photographer who set up the photo?
She didn't cross the line, she raised the bar.
Love Kathy G. She is so cool.
Who are you
Melania should be worry about her husband's mental health 😂😂😹😹😹😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Gooooo Griffin 🙌🙌🙌🙌😻😻😻😻
She shouldn't have backed down the first time and should have let Trump take it further to the absurd
I still do not know why she portrays herself as the victim. She started this mess.
The strongest argument for impeachment . Truly an abuse of power on Trump's behalf .
Good for her for fighting back
She's not history - she's making history!
Agree! I think she is very brave.
No matter what Kathy did. I was still on her side and I still love her as much as I did before.. We live in the Free World she is allowed to say and express our First Amendment right...
Sunny Navarrette show a depiction of beheading anybody is not right no matter who is running for presidency I would be appalled if anyone did this to George bush, Obama, Hillary Clinton that’s just something you don’t do, they’re are many countries that behead innocent people how are we supposed to be taken seriously with people like her being shown off doing stuff like this anyone with class and dignity would know better.
Remember Kathy, I don't hate you I'm just upset that you kiss Chris colfer, but I don't hate you, I think your hot
Regardless of it's offensiveness, it was free speech and Donald Trump went too far calling that investigative of her. I love how strong she is.
You go girl
Tax payers deserve better
Love you, Kathy! You're the best.
Kathy is a great comedian, funny, talented and full of energy. If you do not like her, it is ok... But we Love Kathy!!!
You go get em girl! Don’t go head for the hills . Come on back home where you are most wanted, lol 🤙
Bravo Kathy, stay strong
So glad she’s still out there i love her
she's a comedienne, it's okay everyone
Agreed, but let's not act as if her being investigated by the DOJ is unheard of. Obama used the DOJ and FBI to investigate journslists. While I personally disagree with anyone doing what she did, I also believe in free speech. I blame all the sjw's for this type of response. When you cry about everything at some point others will cry about what you do. This pc bs has to end ppl need to grow some skin. I found it funny that Hollywood turned on her o quick when they produce films killing Presidents and with the sexual misconduct they all kept quiet about for paychecks.
It's too bad we live in a world where we have to explain everything, and baby people. She IS comedienne!
She is a p.o,s. You figure it out. Not a funny woman,
Well, if she is a comedienne, isn't she supposed to be funny? When does that part of her career start?
lynn hendricks EXACTLY
Good for you Griffin
Love Kathy always have always will
!!.God Bless You Kathy Griffin.!!...Queen Of Heart's...Off with There F*cken Head's...lol LOVE You KG...
I was told a few days ago, "Look into the reflections and see the watcher being watched"? Kathy Giriffin's is the prime example of that. Oh she's not alone anymore and that's the good part.
Kathy still doesn't understand, its to bad, if Joan were here she would have stopped her in the first place.
Keep on working Kathy. You go girl!
So glad you’re back on the road!!
Why!Did anyone really miss this woman!She was only upset and sorry because she s got to have money!She makes me sick!
You go girl!
She should never apologize
huajie666 liu
I agree 100%
AGREE. That POS #45 needs to go away immediately and his family and cronies imprisoned. It's only a matter of time... :)
huajie666 liu yeah republicans are complaining about free speech, until it's a woman with an opposing opinion, or it makes fun of dear leader, or it's a person from the left. Can't claim that you care about the constitution if your trying to shut anyone up on either side.
You have freedom of speech, you do not have freedom of consequences to said speech. D list celebrity took a swipe at the president then cried when she was hit with the backlash.
A supporter with 666 in their handle. Makes sense.🙄
Love Kathy!!!!!!
Trump can trash everybody on the planet. What's wrong with this picture?
Uhhh I think a great man once said, "Stop making sense."
Wendy Reis pretty sure he doesn’t pose with bloody heads of the people he hates
Wendy Reis - I agree. trump putting up a video of a train running over a person wearing a CNN logo for a head along with the one showing a CNN person being beaten up at a wrestling match is okay. If he was worried about "children" seeing violence, maybe he should change what he posts.
PaddlePotion- Since it was a MASK with ketchup your statement is a non-starter. What trump does is put up bully comments, lies and rants. His tweeter account would be suspended if he were not the president.
this picture makes her no better than ISIS..or maybe she agrees with their tactics..thats the message any sane person would get,, i would think
She is right. There was misogyny and sexism, and I'd love to know who the men were around her at that time convincing her to apologize. For holding a mask with ketchup on it. I= hope she fired them.
Love the medias take on it 0:08 "the image of her holding a mask of what looks like president Donald trumps severed head". So it just looks like it? LOL!
You go Griffin!!!
Love ya Kathy!!!!! I support you always!!!!!!!!!!
she needs to,come back, trump,has given her so much material
Although legal and considered Free Speech it is utterly distasteful and disrespectful, especially to his family members. Free Speech protects her right to do it but it doesn't protect her from our reactions and opinions.
it seemed to do that for the obamas effigies
Love you #KathyGriffin
OMG! Is that a reporter? She's attacking her! Griffin is a smart hilarious woman. She's a comedian, she doesn't go after celebrities... Very distasteful interview and amazed that Griffin stood so well for the whole thing.

kinn grimm its terror
Mock terror
“hate isn't healthy, it damages the hater more than the one who's hated!”
You threatened the president of the United states,other Hollywood movie actors or comedians know what is funny or going over the line
Yes kathy, at the end u nailed it...misogyny, sexism played a big role, the dixie chicks had to deal with the same nightmare after they criticized the iraq war!! America in general has alot of growing up to do
mikado M "Dixie Chicks"
VeganWorld Peace ,thxs for the correction
I'm obsessed with Kathy Griffin
CBC hitting a new low. This woman is a terrible person and not funny whatsoever.
lol and Chump is?
Jealousy is a so negative vibe... wake up!
Come back, and remind those fools that we have the right to free speech. Not a dictatorship of Trump.
Her hair is growing back nicely since she shaved it
Her eyes are GORGEOUS!!!☺
Kathy Griffin is great. I would have kept her on my show, if I had one.
It was ART, people. Get over it...
Yea, thats not art
And yet, Art Knight, her mask covered in ketchup has not caused anyone to do anything to your poor beleaguered Bully-in-Chief. The only action taken has been against Kathy Griffin, and she did apologize. But I guess apologies are no longer acceptable in this new era of discourtesy, are they? I've never heard Hair Furor apologize for anything, and he has insulted and called for terrible things to happen to so many people, it's pathetic and hideous. But I guess it's okay when he threatens people, right? It's just not okay when a woman teases him back. (Or, for that matter, President Obama.)
yea theres art and then theres BS.
William Andersen Are you insane?
ART??? Maybe the FBI needs to check you out?
Love you Kathy
if it was Hillary's head they'd be cheering
Tracy Hughes I would Be for sure MAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The whole Trump family is just a bunch of hypocrites, Impeachment is the only MAGA plan I support
Tracy Hughes never gonna happen
this may be true, but not for lack of trying, several senators are working on it now
Tracy Hughes thank u
It was disgusting and tasteless, there's no denying that... but she made one freaking mistake. Let's stop the witch hunt... sometimes it's like we've come no way at all, one misstep and people are cast of to the island never to return. I would hate being a public figure in these times.
Respect is a two way road. First you give respect and you will receive it.
how do you respect someone who exhibits 0 respect lol
I only watch Canadian tv because I am American and I still find that we talk oh so little bit different so fun to listen to.
Being an American and living under this trumpism makes me wonder about their mental stability not Kathy Griffin this is America we have the right two Street free speech and satire get over it people
My Precioussss
No fan of Trump, but why is it that is greatest detractors annoy me more?
IndigoXYZ18 because they use such foul language... they make pointless comments based on emotional narratives. They condone violence on those that disagree with their worldview... and they are sad to have lost a big race.
Griffin's notions of self-importance are more disgusting than her "comedy" act.
Griffin's notions of self-importance ARE her comedy act. Complete has-been so media hungry all she has left is a sad act.
trump is in no sense better. he posted a video of himself beating up a cnn reporter. he isn't fit to judge. he's a hypocrite. why should we forgive trump if you lot won't forgive kathy? what was that bit in the bible about those without 'sin' being only able to cast the first stone? so you lot can drop your stones.

down with trump XD
You people are nuts.....
WELCOME BACK!
Shame on you...for apologizing!
love Kathy Griffin and everything she stands for! Go Kathy!
Never has a president done that to a comedian, yet, never has a comedian taken a macabre picture of the president like that either. She was right when she said she went too far.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_and_Holofernes_(Donatello) so a general is fine?
@CBC ...this woman's artwork, is beyond barbarism. Reminding us the viewer, of her vileness is terrible; secondly, giving her a platform to spin her position (ie it's all trumps fault) is disingenuous to the truth. This comedian crossed the line, and providing her a platform to spin her woe is me diatribe is a disservice to your viewers.
not all but played a role with spearheading everything and making it a crisis
Great job Kathy.She is a strong lady. We need more people like her.
Love her
Literally burst out with laughter after reading the title!!
KATHY,
Why are you back in the USA? Didn't you claim as long as TRUMP is in office you would not set foot in America?
WOW - these 2 could be sisters!!!
Yay. Kathy's back!
@kathygriffin...you go girl! We’re behind you 100%!
Ana Fernandez But she isn't a comedian!
I'm not much of a comedian either
Ridiculous ! Nothing more to say about this crap. I wish her all the best and I can't wait to see this disgrace leave the white house.
I love Kathy Griffin! I think she should play Melania in the comedy movie to follow after CHEETO-HEAD-CHUMP is indicted, convicted and sentenced to lockup. GO KATHY GRIFFIN!
Maxx Q what’s the Melania Trump movie called? Wallet Sniffer?
The photo was in poor taste, but she didn't deserve the blowback. Glad she's back on the comedy circuit.
Hey Cathy....Do that Trump head thing again. Melania like that!
It was in poor taste. I felt bad for Barron, just as I felt bad for Obama's daughters, Clinton's daughter, etc... Comediennes are always going to push and leap over the line to get a laugh. None of them think about or care to be honest how it will impact the children of any President.
“He broke me” - Kathy Griffin, 2017
drjay182 this comedy gold 2.0
the news caster looks like a ball of fun doesn't she
John T coughs
Nope. Nope. Nope.
Luv-ya! Keep on keepin ON!💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪👍💖💯
Kathy 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
2 things this woman cannot do without - Hair and Makeup
Kathy ... your our Shero Love !!! Thank you for being a Strong Woman ... we are all Proud to Stand with you girlfriend !
She failed miserably! She played the victim when her stunts backfired.
Why is CBC helping to promote her tour? This women says she survived but a month ago she was crying she couldn't get on tv.
Naw, she has been on a world tour for a while now... Singapore to Europe. This hasn't been scandal for a while... Where have you been?
Adrian D where have you been she was crying on her tour about how she was coming back with no tv gigs. Look for it on TH-cam if you are interested.
How much of your time do you spend watching videos featuring people you openly hate...? Don't you deserve to be happy? I recommend Cute Overload but that's off this platform.
She was never funny and nothing has changed
Wasn't a month ago..
Kathy should run for president!
The name Dixie Chicks comes to mind. Guess who was right? They survived and so will you, girl!!!
why is she doubling down? just shows how delusional she is.
🙌🏼
