‘Sick!’ Trump says Kathy Griffin ‘should be ashamed of herself’ for severed-head video as he says 11-year-old Barron is ‘having a hard time with this’ and Griffin admits: ‘I went too far’
Griffin is seen holding up Trump’s bloody, severed head for shock-value photographer Tyler Shields
She joked that she would have to leave the country after the shoot
‘This is vile and wrong. It is never funny to joke about killing a president,’ said Trump-hater Chelsea Clinton
Griffin has since apologized, saying: ‘I am sorry. I went too far. I was wrong’
The apology was not enough to stop Trump himself from weighing in
The U.S. Secret Service – while not citing the video specifically – reminded people it monitors social media and takes threats against the president seriously
Facing increasing pressure, CNN said it is ‘evaluating’ Griffin’s long-time role hosting its New Year’s Eve coverage but has ‘made no decisions at this point’

President Donald Trump lashed out at D-list comedian Kathy Griffin on Wednesday morning, saying she ‘should be ashamed of herself’ for posting a video of his severed head on social media.
‘My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!’ Trump tweeted.
Griffin apologized on Tuesday for posting the video following a furious backlash and a hint at an investigation by the U.S. Secret Service.
The controversial entertainer tweeted: ‘I am sorry. I went too far. I was wrong.’
In the video Griffin is seen slowly raising Trump’s head during a photo shoot with infamous photographer Tyler Shields.
She also posted a video promising to remove the offending image after she was lambasted by all sides of the political spectrum, including Chelsea Clinton.
