Kathy Griffin Brags About Bullying Woman, Then Takes Shot At White Women
Comedian Kathy Griffin took to Twitter on Saturday to brag about arguing with a member of President Donald Trump’s administration and her husband and, for good measure, she managed to take a shot at white women.
The comedian, who is arguably most famous for holding a mock severed head of the president and then having a press conference where she cried and said “he broke me,” told a story of what she said happened when she met White House aide Mercedes Schlapp and her husband Matt Schlapp, the president of the American Conservative Union, at the White House Correspondents Dinner last month.
Griffin said she was incensed when she heard that Mercedes Schlapp stood with Kelly Sadler, the White House communications aide who reportedly responded to the news that Arizona Sen. John McCain would not support President Trump’s nominee to head the CIA, Gina Haspel, by saying “he’s dying anyway.”
“It’s story time….let’s talk about my encounter at the White House Correspondents Dinner with Mercedes & Matt Schlapp..DC’s most spineless power couple. I thought I was done talking about the dinner but learning that @mercedesschlapp stands w/ Kelly Sadler, well…here we go,” Griffin wrote to begin her rant.

“I went to the #WHCD for the first time this year…I ran into a lot of friends and also ran into complicit and criminal Trump apologists, supporters, and administration officials,” she said.

Griffin used the word “criminal” several times in her 19 tweet rant but she never explained what crimes anyone had committed. Although it likely does not matter to her as she knows her only chance to hang on to any relevancy is to be as anti-President Trump as possible. Being rational is not important to her.
C) I make fun of a lot of people in my act. Most of the time, it's harmless fun and the celebrities I make jokes about usually get it. When I run into people I make fun of in my act, things are normally cordial. But that's not the case with Trump people I make fun of in my act

D) I always consider encounters with Trump officials as a privilege. I'm fortunate enough to be invited to events where I may run into these criminal clowns..so I feel like its my responsibility to tell them exactly what I think of them.

E) Matt and Mercedes would have you believe they left in a big huff but they didn't…I saw them leave, they looked like they were headed to the ladies room. And it's not as if they led some walkout, they were by themselves https://t.co/3QQ3pjalP5

F) The fact of the matter is they were leaving early to get a head start on the free drinks at the open bar at the NBC/MSNBC party.

G) So later on that night, my boyfriend Randy and I were at the MSNBC/NBC party…it was raining so everyone was crammed into a tent..that's why so many juicy and controversial encounters were happening that evening.

H) So I ran into Tom Bossert who was just pushed out of the White House by Mustache Bolton…trust me, I tried to get the dirt out of him but it was like humping a rock…useless. https://t.co/oJHHv0HsCf

“Mercedes and Matt come up to me…keep in mind I was surrounded by cameras when they did this..how convenient for them. Let me tell you something, I can promise you that the two of them will tell Trump and others they took me on. They’re a bunch of suck ups,” she wrote. “First thing Mercedes says to me is ‘I thought the comedian (meaning @michelleisawolf) was crass and humorless.’ I immediately thought to myself ‘You wanna go there? Game on, bitch.’”

Classy isn’t she?
K) Now here's something you need to know, @mschlapp, Mr. C Pac, the guy who was one of the few people willing to defend Trump the weekend of the Access Hollywood tape was silent the entire time…both times I ran into them. Not a word, he just stood back. pic.twitter.com/4yLX55VKKR

L) Standby for Matt to make some bullshit fake women's empowerment comment about how he's proud to let his smart wife speak…fuck off Matt…you just stood there like the spineless powder puff you are.
— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) May 12, 2018
M) Matt just stood there gingerly holding his drink and sucking up some sort of clear alcohol (I don't drink) through a tiny straw like a gossipy little bitch listening in but not having the chutzpah to speak up cause he was faced with me in-person. pic.twitter.com/8sLsV3rXxL

“As soon as Mercedes says that she thought Michelle was crass and humorless I said ‘how do you sleep at night?’ And I went on to say ‘you are the typical white woman who held her nose to vote for Trump’ …which in my mind is the worst of the worst,” she said.
N) So as soon as Mercedes says that she thought Michelle was crass and humorless I said "how do you sleep at night?" And I went on to say "you are the typical white woman who held her nose to vote for Trump"…which in my mind is the worst of the worst.

Yes Griffin, how dare any white woman defy you and vote for who they want? Who do they think they are? This approach is a fantastic way to win people to your side.
O) I actually don't think Matt and Mercedes believe in and support Trump. They just know where the power is in a room and that's why they attached themselves to Trump. This anecdote from the Access Hollywood weekend proves it. pic.twitter.com/mcKFFOWdAM

P) I don't accept rational Trump voters provide to me..but at least they actually believe what they say when they talk about Trump. Ma-cedes just sniff around for whatever brings them the most power. So they'll support an admin that is destroying the country for $ – fuck them.

“There we were at deep state cocktails..and I go on to tell Mercedes that she’s a horrible representation of women That’s when Matt (remember he’s been silent the whole time), does a slow turn like a figure skater and starts to walk away..like ‘gurl you are on your own,” Griffin wrote.

This is a good time to point out to Griffin that she is not young and hip. Her use of “gurl” like she is an inner city teenager is the most humorous thing she is said in a decade.
“Later on that night we run into them again and I just had to say something to her….I said ‘you’re a horrible person..’ and the only thing she could come back to me with was ‘you’re vulgar!’” Griffin said, taking pride in the fact that she was harassing and bullying this woman. “After Trump ends up wherever he ends up they’ll find the next opportunity by selling their souls yet again…I can sleep at night @mercedesschlapp – your support of a monster and your hypocrisy will stick with you for the rest of your life.”
R) Encounter one down….later on that night we run into them again and I just had to say something to her….I said "you're a horrible person.." and the only thing she could come back to me with was "you're vulgar!"

Matt Schlapp responded to Griffin’s unhinged rant with one sentence, and it was spot on. “Kathy I think it’s time to move on now I’m getting a bit worried. Go away from the light,” he said.

I disagree Matt. She has never been entertaining as a comedian, but her unhinged rants are comedy gold.
