Liberal actress Kathy Griffin recently shared a tirade to social media blasting the United States as being “racist and sexist,” after former President Donald Trump will return to the White House after his massive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. During a lengthy monologue shared to X, the comedian, touted unsubstantiated, alarming claims about what would happen under Trump. Griffin is notorious for posing for a controversial photo holding a severed head meant to depict Trump.
Bemoaning the results of the election, she began, “I don’t think that our beloved country, America knows what it’s in for with a fascistic society and dictator. I’m not being hyperbolic. I’m not being dramatic. I had said this on tapes before, but I am shocked and crushed, and how many people I personally know did not vote or felt like there was no difference between the candidates, or just were too self involved to learn anything about it, and that that makes me sad.”
“And you know, just because I live in California and have a lot of protections other states don’t, doesn’t mean there won’t be a federal ban on abortion,” she added, despite Trump and Vance denying that they would sign a national ban. Griffin also suggested the U.S. would turn into a “Trumpian Christo fascist mega church” and lamented over a hypothetical scenario where 15-year-olds couldn’t get an abortion if they got pregnant.
Griffin also insinuated that Trump might pass away during his next term, meaning Vance would lead the nation, a scenario equally undesirable for her. “Trump will crumble. I mean, he’s a he’s not looking too healthy these days, and then President Vance will be terrifying and horrible, because he’s as crazy as Trump, but he’s smart, so and the way things are going in this country, could then get reelected. We could have President Vance for eight years,” she said.
The comedian also suggested that the election might have played out differently if Taylor Swift would have campaigned for Harris in Pennsylvania. “I know this will get me in trouble, but I really, really wish Taylor Swift had done an event with Vice President Harris in Pennsylvania two months ago. Okay, I just have to say that, because she’s so powerful and it’s not fair that the weight of the world should be on a pop star shoulders.”
Griffin concluded her video statement, slamming the United States as “still” being “racist and misogynistic.” She further pushed a completely baseless argument that Republicans wanted to kill transgender individuals and put guns in elementary schools.
“I just did not realize how racist and misogynistic America still is. So we’re in this together, open minded people that are loving we’re not in together with the other team that wants to like kill trans people and have more guns in grade schools. Like, no, but we, like minded folks, just want a peaceful, healthy, progressive country, and we will keep doing what we have to do to keep it alive, even though it looks a little dark today,” she said.
