Kathy Griffin appeared at a press conference in Hollywood on Friday, and she broke down crying, saying Trump bullied her by protesting the photo she posted of her holding up his severed head. She’s angry CNN canceled her New Year’s Eve gig. Kathy should cheer up; there’s always Halloween.
The Republican head of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee is reportedly trying to round up all the copies of the torture report denouncing the CIA for its treatment of captured terrorists.
