| | + | The infamous "severed Trump head" photo later drew even more controversy to Griffin when former Democrat-turned-Trump supporter Danielle McCarty began being besieged with hundreds of hateful and threatening messages from unhinged leftists on Twitter and other social media accounts after the vindictive Griffin illegally doxed McCarty when she came unglued over a tweet by McCarty criticizing Griffin's gloating over the [[Democrat election fraud|stolen]] [[2020 presidential election]] while she again posted that photo on Twitter, which she later deleted following the criticism.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/trump-supporter-mother-two-fears-life-childrens-safety-kathy-griffin-doxxes-family/ Trump Supporter and Mother of Two Fears for Her Life and Her Children’s Safety After Kathy Griffin Doxxes Her Family]</ref> The leftist cranks let out their inner 13-year-olds online as they threatened the livelihood of McCarty and her family, made false accusations against her and made immature rape and death threats against her and death threats against her children in their cowardly tweets after Griffin libeled McCarty by falsely accusing her of being a "domestic terrorist", sicced her followers on McCarty, claimed to have "reported" her to the [[FBI]] and went even further by posting personal photos of McCarty and her family, while several online leftist sites openly praised Griffin for her criminal actions against McCarty and also made false claims about McCarty. While the usual Twitter suspects rooted Griffin on, a number of later posters gave her well-deserved criticism for her illegal actions. |
