Outrage would have erupted. Justifiable outrage. Whatever we may think of a person in the public eye, his/her 10-year old children are off limits. They are unwitting participants due to circumstances of birth.
Thus, when Kathy Griffin spouted her nonsense at a December 2016 interview, all the rest of us heard in reaction was the sound of crickets chirping.
OS will even spare his legions of readers the labor of clicking through. This is Mzzzzz Griffin, in her own words.
It’s
a question a lot of comedians are asking themselves lately: What should
comedy look like during the Trump presidency? “Now more than ever we
must absolutely go for all the absurdities,” Kathy Griffin told Vulture
at the Equality Now Gala Tuesday night. “For me, that’s Trump and all
things Trump. It’s not about trying to be an equal-opportunity offender
anymore because Hillary got such a beat down. It’s his turn. So I’m
happy to deliver beat down to Donald Trump — and also to Barron. You
know a lot of comics are going to go hard for Donald, my edge is that
I’ll go direct for Barron. I’m going to get in ahead of the game.”
So, of course, Griffin supported Rosie O’Donnell when she tweeted a video
asking if Barron Trump, 10-year-old son of Donald and Melania, was on
the autism spectrum. “After the beat down he gave her, she can say
whatever she wants to say to that piece of shit,” Griffin said before
correcting herself. “Oh, that’s President Piece of Shit.”
OS is curious--Did Mzzzzz Griffin ever have children herself? Perhaps nieces and nephews in her life? People who have some positive role in some child's life don't act like this.
