When folks ask me what political party I align with my response is that I am an American. So, dear sporadic reader, I hope you will read this from that perspective.

Ms. Griffin, the first amendment does protect you and allow you to make an ass out of yourself. It does not protect you from the consequences of choosing to make an ass out of yourself. I don’t want to hear you boohoo because the First Family isn’t keeping quiet about your disgusting choice, no matter which party is in that position.

Your apology video didn’t impress me at all. Didn’t seem sincere, seemed like a perfunctory social media game you were playing.

You didn’t think. Once the idea went through your mind, “hey, you know what would be funny? Holding a bloody mask of a sitting US president?…No wait, that’s not a good idea.” And move on. That’s what you should have done.

But since you were trying to catch a little press, you did a disgusting parody. Isn’t that what you called it? A parody?

And now lots of companies, theaters, clubs are cancelling the contracts they had with you.

You want to know why? It’s not because you’re a formerly edgy comedienne who crossed a line with the President and then posted a standard social media apology.

It’s because you didn’t apologize to the families of James Foley, Steven Sotloff, David Haines, Abbas Medlej, Herve Gourdel, Alan Henning, and so many other innocent people doing way more to protect rights like the first amendment. You didn’t apologize to those families who are trying desperately to not watch the television lest the story about the stupid comedienne is on the news again. And now you’re whining that someone is “picking on me”. Stop your whining. Ask yourself how you could have ever thought parodying that was funny in any way, shape, or form.

And you can get a famous lawyer, but sweetie, you did this to yourself. No one else is responsible, so suck it up and deal with it. Do not waste my tax dollars on bullshit trials against anyone who now chooses not to book you for shows. That’s your own doing. No one else.

Go sit and think. You’ll figure out why you’ve lost so many contracts. Trump didn’t kill your career. You did. And you owe an apology to all the families who have suffered through what you thought would be a good parody.
