Kathy Griffin.

Some attempted to turn the controversy around at conservatives:
Some took the opportunity to throw barbs at Griffin:
Others, meanwhile, mocked the controversy altogether:
Our politics have become too base, too low, & too vulgar, but Kathy Griffin's post descends into an even more repugnant & vile territory.
- Mitt Romney (@MittRomney) May 30, 2017This Kathy Griffin thing is so upsetting and disgusting. Jesus--what is wrong with people today? Have we lost all our humanity?
- Soledad O'Brien (@soledadobrien) May 30, 2017It wasn't right when peoplel hung lynched Obama effigies, just as what Kathy Griffin did isn't right now.
- Debra Messing (@DebraMessing) May 30, 2017Disgusting but not surprising. This is the left today. They consider this acceptable. Imagine a conservative did this to Obama as POTUS? https://t.co/QdghcbIjS7
- Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) May 30, 2017Kathy Griffin holds Trump's severed head.
She is a sick, vile human being.
Typical Leftist.https://t.co/6aAmPRLz2v
- Mark Romano (@TheMarkRomano) May 30, 2017This is the left. This is what modern day Democrats look like. https://t.co/95jNBJF2sS
- Jeremy Nolt (@RealJeremyNolt) May 30, 2017Hope everyone attacking Kathy Griffin was just as outraged when they hung a lifelike President Barack Obama from a tree after he was elected
- ♻️ Christopher Zullo (@ChrisJZullo) May 30, 2017Conservatives who voted for Trump don't feel they should be held accountable for his views, but think Kathy Griffin represents all liberals.
- Millennial Democrats (@Millennial_Dems) May 30, 2017I have become so good at ignoring Kathy Griffin through the years that I have no idea what happened today
- Vann R. Newkirk II (@fivefifths) May 30, 2017Condemning this photo shoot is a slippery slope to having to condemn every dumb thing Kathy Griffin does
- Arthur Chu (@arthur_affect) May 30, 2017Oh please, I've been offended by Kathy Griffin since 2007
- Lauren Duca (@laurenduca) May 30, 2017my feed today has mostly been liberals disgusted by Kathy Griffin and conservatives asking why liberals aren't denouncing Kathy Griffin
- Matt Pearce (@mattdpearce) May 30, 2017Someone, somewhere, is rushing to be the first to post an anti-anti-Kathy Griffin hot take
- Alex Burns (@alexburnsNYT) May 30, 2017So I see Kathy Griffin has made a bid for temporary virality/relevance in our new demotic era.
Meh. I'm not scandalized. I'm just bored.
