Kathy Griffin, a comedian known for her controversial humor, recently made a jest that has caught the attention of many.
During an interview with Chicago's WGN radio, she encouraged her fans to attend her upcoming show before President-elect Donald Trump allegedly sends her to an "internment camp."
"Come see me before I'm in one of those internment camps," Griffin quipped, suggesting a sense of urgency and impending doom. The comedian, who has been known to push boundaries with her humor, continued to assert that she is on Trump's "enemies list," despite there being no public record of the President-elect mentioning her in recent years.
"I'm on the enemies list. That's very obvious," she stated. "He was very, very scared when I did a parody photo of him and a Halloween mask and a lot of ketchup. And he brings up my name every chance he gets.
As reported by RedState, Griffin's comments were made during the promotion of her New Year's Eve performance at the iconic Chicago Theater. While her remarks were intended to be humorous, they also revealed a serious undertone. She expressed concern over Trump's alleged plans to build camps for his political adversaries, a claim that has not been substantiated by the President-elect.
At the time, you know, most of us just thought he was kind of a harmless buffoon, but when he says hes going to build camps for his enemies list, he may not be kidding," she said. "So, you know, Ive got my antenna up, but Im not going anywhere. I have four doggies. I have a great group of friends. And I love it here."
Griffin's comments about "internment camps" have been met with amusement by some, given the lack of evidence supporting her claims. Her remarks are seen by some as a reflection of her struggle to accept the election of Donald Trump in 2016, a struggle that she has publicly grappled with.
Last year, Griffin revealed that she had been diagnosed with complex PTSD, a condition she linked to the backlash she faced following a controversial stunt in 2017. The stunt, which involved Griffin holding a replica of Trumps severed bloody head, was widely criticized and led to a significant downturn in her career.
Years after the incident, Griffin continues to make headlines with her outspoken views on Trump. Following his victory over Kamala Harris, she posted a video expressing her fear that America was slowly turning into a dictatorship under Trump's leadership. She warned that a second term under Trump could endanger the safety of the LGBTQ+ community and urged those who shared her fears to become more politically active.
Griffin's recent comments and actions reveal a deep-seated concern about the future of America under Trump's leadership. While her fears may be exaggerated, they reflect a sentiment shared by many who are apprehensive about the potential implications of a second Trump term. Despite the controversy surrounding her, Griffin remains committed to using her platform to voice her concerns and encourage political activism.
