==Controversy==
===Donald Trump "severed head" incident===
A few public relations experts have publicly indicated that her 2017 publicity stunt which involved her holding a mock severed head of [[Donald Trump]] was a career-ending move.<ref name="career killing">[https://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/16/kathy-griffin-needs-to-do-these-things-to-recover-from-her-career-killing-trump-beheading-stunt.html Kathy Griffin needs to do these things to recover from her career-killing Trump 'beheading' stunt], CNBC</ref> All of her remaining 2017 bookings for stand-up comedy appearances were canceled as a result<ref name="career killing"/> and she has had no bookings since then.

She drew a lot of public backlash against herself after that infamous publicity stunt. At a news conference, she refused to take responsibility for her actions and said she blamed Trump, [[crybully|claiming in a teary-eyed manner: "He broke me". Griffin identifies herself as a [[Militant atheism|militant atheist]].<ref>{{cite news | url=http://outsmartmagazine.com/this_issue/?storyid=1129229903 | title=Foul-Mouthed and Funny | work=OutSmart | author=Blase DiStefano | date=June 2007 | accessdate=2007-07-01 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070927190140/http://outsmartmagazine.com/this_issue/?storyid=1129229903 |archivedate = 2007-09-27}}</ref>

The [[Examining Atheism]] blog wrote about Griffin:
{{Cquote|Comedian Kathy Griffin identifies herself as a "complete militant atheist".
In another recent controversy, when Trump paid tribute to [[John McCain]] via Twitter following the Senator's passing on August 25, 2018, Griffin used the moment in another attention-seeking ploy by lashing out profanely at Trump in response on Twitter, which led to another massive backlash against her on the platform and elsewhere.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/08/25/kathy-griffin-rips-trumps-mccain-tribute/ Kathy Griffin Rips Trump's McCain Tribute] on Breitbart.com ('''Warning:''' Contains foul language)</ref>
===Covington Kids incident===Griffin also recently came under heavy criticism on Twitter (including from Donald Trump Jr.<ref name="Doxing">[https://twitter.com/kathygriffin/status/1088097063227670529 Kathy Griffin reaction to doxing accusations] at Twitter ('''Warning:''' Contains foul language)</ref>) for falsely accusing [[Covington kids|students from Covington Catholic High School]] of "racism" during a confrontation with leftist American Indian professional protester and phony "Vietnam veteran" [[Nathan Phillips]]<ref>[https://nypost.com/2019/01/23/nathan-phillips-is-a-liar-not-a-victim/ Nathan Phillips is a liar, not a victim] at the ''New York Post''</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/chrissyma58/status/1088438067248222208 Nathan Phillips "service record" exposed] at Twitter</ref> and for demanding the [[doxing]] of the students, in violation of Twitter's terms of service.<ref>[https://twitter.com/kathygriffin/status/1086927762634399744 Kathy Griffin: "Ps. The reply from the school was pathetic and impotent. Name these kids. I want NAMES. Shame them"] at Twitter ('''Warning:''' Contains foul language)</ref> Not surprisingly, Griffin refused to take responsibility or apologize for her inflammatory and bigoted tweets, ignoring that her attempt to dox the students could put them in danger of potential death threats from crazed leftists, and lashed out in response by resorting to [[moral equivalence]] arguments against Trump Jr., using the long-discredited "Trump-Russia collusion" claims as her ammunition.<ref name="Doxing"/> Griffin was subsequently named among a lengthy list of 50 liberal media outlets, reporters, politicians, celebrities and other entities who now face legal action against them from the legal counsel of the Covington students, as well as criminal charges filed by county attorneys in Kenton County, Kentucky, for said celebrities' and other Twitter posters' false accusations, doxing attempts and death threats.<ref>[https://twitter.com/thecjpearson/status/1087115979807748096 C.J.

While the usual Twitter suspects rooted Griffin on, a number of later posters gave her well-deserved criticism for her illegal actions. ===Threats of civil war against GOP voters===On September 6, 2022, Griffin publicly attempted via Twitter to coerce and intimidate Americans into voting Democrat in the [[2022 midterm elections]] by threatening civil war against anyone who votes Republican;<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/09/dont-want-civil-war-vote-democrats-november-psychopath-kathy-griffin-threatens-civil-war-republicans/ “If You Don’t Want A CIVIL WAR, Vote For Democrats In November” – Psychopath Kathy Griffin Threatens Civil War On Republicans] at the Gateway Pundit</ref> in response, Griffin was massively criticized on her Twitter account by posters who responded that they ''will'' vote Republican because of her threat, which was seemingly influenced by Oval Office occupant/dictator [[Joe Biden]]'s similar threat against his own fellow American citizens while [[liberal projection|projecting]] the Democrats' own attitudes and beliefs onto them during an unhinged televised speech<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/09/video-joe-biden-declares-war-maga-republicans-clear-present-danger-maga-republicans-embrace-anger-thrive-chaos-live-shadow-lies/ Joe Biden Declares War: “MAGA Republicans a Clear and Present Danger – MAGA Republicans Embrace Anger, Thrive on Chaos, Live in the Shadow of Lies”] at the Gateway Pundit</ref> he gave on September 1.
