People Are Pissed at Kathy Griffin's Gory Trump Photoshoot

Kathy Griffin is known for being outspoken. However, when she took to Twitter to post a gory video depicting Donald Trump’s severed head, the internet revolted, Twitter blew-up, and right-wingers and left-wingers alike took aim. The tweets have since been removed but you can view the video and photographs which TMZ broke earlier in the day here.
Kathy, whom is seen lifting a bloody-faced mannequin head of President Trump, promptly tweeted a video apology reassuring her fans that she would never incite violence and asking for forgiveness.
However, the Internet was STILL not having it - including her employer CNN, who has since terminated her from her New Year's Eve hosting duties with Anderson Cooper. Check out some reactions below including Chelsea Clinton, Mitt Romney, and Debra Messing whom have all rallied against the imagery of violence.
\u201cThis is vile and wrong. It is never funny to joke about killing a president. https://t.co/zIiuKoMyFw\u201d— Chelsea Clinton (@Chelsea Clinton) 1496178080
\u201cOur politics have become too base, too low, & too vulgar, but Kathy Griffin's post descends into an even more repugnant & vile territory.\u201d— Mitt Romney (@Mitt Romney) 1496182493
\u201cNope. Too much. By a very long distance, way too much. https://t.co/I9977nKEAP\u201d— Keith Olbermann (@Keith Olbermann) 1496176979
\u201cIt wasn't right when peoplel hung lynched Obama effigies, just as what Kathy Griffin did isn't right now.\u201d— Debra Messing\u270d\ud83c\udffb (@Debra Messing\u270d\ud83c\udffb) 1496176939
\u201cOn the whole Kathy Griffin photo, please don't let the narrative become "Trump supporters are outraged..." - this can't be a partisan thing.\u201d— Joe Concha (@Joe Concha) 1496171417
