Kathy Griffin Calls Out Donald Trump for His Samantha Bee Tweet
Just one day after Kathy Griffin detailed how she believed Donald Trump used his power as President to send “order[s] to his millions of followers” with his tweets, she’s now sticking up for Samantha Bee.
Hours ago, Trump sent out a tweet about Samantha after the controversy over her remark about Ivanka Trump.
“Why aren’t they firing no talent Samantha Bee for the horrible language used on her low ratings show? A total double standard but that’s O.K., we are Winning, and will be doing so for a long time to come!,” Trump tweeted, to which Kathy responded, “Nope. You’re not gonna do to @iamsambee what you tried to do to me. This isn’t just Trump expressing his opinion, he’s using his platform as president to order his followers to go after Sam. And he’s keeping the story active.”
Nope. You’re not gonna do to @iamsambee what you tried to do to me. This isn’t just Trump expressing his opinion, he’s using his platform as president to order his followers to go after Sam. And he’s keeping the story active. https://t.co/U9GLtFpkwq https://t.co/jGqVrP65FL

. @iamsambee is facing some crazy sh*t right now…not only in her mentions but in letters she's getting, pressure from network
If you support @iamsambee or just hate that the White House is using its platform to attack a comic, tweet a message of support and include @TBSNetwork https://t.co/rhN243bRgd
