    Kathy Griffin retracts apology over Trump beheading photo

    -LOS ANGELES — Kathy Griffin retracted her apology for a gory image of a fake Donald Trump head, saying anger against her was overblown and should be directed at Trump and his administration.

    A feisty Griffin, interviewed Tuesday on Australian TV in advance of an international comedy tour, slammed the president and his actions as she reversed course from her tearful mea culpa in May.

    “So the picture happened, the outrage was ridiculous, I made an apology, and now in light of all the crazy stuff that he (Trump) and this administration are doing..... He’s unhinged,” she said on the morning show “Sunrise.”

    Exactly. In the climate since Charlottesville she feels emboldened to retract it.

    Her apology was a sham! I can't believe that she has supporters here (probably Californians).

    Poor, ignorant soul. She'll be the one that loses in the long run.
    When your praise match your prayers, the answer will come.

    I was, once upon a time, inclined to enjoy her work..

    I'm talking years and years ago, when she was on that Mole show. So, it's saddening to see her slide into the abyss.

    I watched the video interview and she seems so desperate for people to come to her show. I can't help but hope she fails.. maybe even spectacularly.
