Kathy Griffin withdraws apology for decapitated Trump photo: ‘I am no longer sorry’ (video)

Kathy Griffin has rescinded her apology for the photo of herself posing with a bloodied Donald Trump mask that cost her a stand-up tour, a job at CNN and a friendship with Anderson Cooper.

In an interview with Australia’s Seven Network, the comedian told “Sunrise” co-hosts David Koch and Samantha Armytage that she “is no longer sorry” for the photo that stirred up so much outrage.

“The whole outrage was B.S.” Griffin said. “The whole thing got so blown out of proportion and I lost everybody. Like, I had Chelsea Clinton tweeting against me. I had friends — Debra Messing from ‘Will & Grace,’ tweeting against me. I mean, I lost everybody. So, I have been through the mill.”

“These Trump fans, they’re hardcore,” she said. “They’re a minority, but they know how to act like a majority.”

“No, you’re full of crap, you know this,” Griffin told the reporter. “Stop acting like my little picture is more important than talking about the actual atrocities that the president of the United States is committing.”
