Kathy Griffin Shares Strong Opinions on Trump's 2024 Win
Comedian Kathy Griffin, known for her outspokenness, recently shared some pretty strong opinions about President Donald Trump and his relationship with Elon Musk, the well-known entrepreneur. Let's dive into what she had to say!
Griffin's "No Kings" Stance
In a recent episode of her YouTube show, Talk Your Head Off with Kathy Griffin, the two-time Emmy winner didn't hold back. She mentioned the "No Kings" demonstrations, an anti-Trump protest. "People are calling this protest the No Kings Day, because Trump thinks he’s a f---ing king," Griffin stated. She added, "And you know he’s not. He’s barely a president." These "No Kings" protests have reportedly been quite large in the past, even being described as some of the largest protests in U.S. history.
A History of Controversy
Griffin has a long history of being critical of Trump. Many remember the controversy she sparked back in 2017 when she posed with a bloodied mask resembling Trump’s head. This caused quite a stir, impacted her career, and even prompted a Secret Service investigation. It's safe to say she's not afraid to voice her opinions, even if they're controversial.
Questioning the 2024 Election
Griffin didn't stop there. She also weighed in on the 2024 election, expressing skepticism about its fairness. On The Un-Cancelation of Kathy Griffin she said, "I’m going to say something that’s going to get me in trouble," She mentioned not believing Trump "won in a free and fair election," even if it made her appear "crazy". She specifically pointed to claims about Elon Musk supposedly giving out "million-dollar checks to people if they would vote for Trump" as evidence of potential unfairness.
While claims of Elon Musk giving million-dollar checks during the 2024 election campaign have circulated, reports indicate that while the Department of Justice issued warnings about potential election law violations, these actions were not blocked by federal or state courts.
She went on to describe Musk with some very strong words. This highlights the intensity of her opinions on the matter.
Musk's Inauguration "Salute"
The conversation also touched on an incident involving Elon Musk at Trump's inauguration. Musk made a gesture that sparked debate, with some interpreting it as a possible Nazi salute. Musk defended himself at the time, calling such accusations "sooo tired."
Swing State Sweep
Griffin also found it "suspicious" that Trump won all seven swing states, stating that it "has never happened in the history of the U.S."
While official FEC data confirms Trump won all seven swing states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) in the 2024 presidential election, experts note that the U.S. Electoral College system allows for victory even with narrow wins in key states.
The Aftermath of the 2020 Election
The article references that following his loss in the 2020 election, Trump refused to concede to Joe Biden and was later indicted for attempts to undermine the election. He pleaded not guilty, and the case was ultimately dismissed after he was elected president in 2024.
It's clear that Kathy Griffin has strong opinions about Donald Trump and the political landscape. Whether you agree with her or not, she certainly sparks discussion!
