An actor of note, John Wilkes Booth’s performances often received rave reviews. At least they did until the evening he murdered President Abraham Lincoln.
It’s difficult to know what’s in another person’s heart; so, when Kathy Griffin displayed a picture of herself as an ISIS style executioner it was reasonable to expect that the United States Secret Service would take note.
Ms. Griffin was apparently only seeking favor from Trump haters with a foolish publicity stunt. It likely came as a surprise when many criticized her for going too far.
An apology of sorts was issued. It failed to stop the consequences. Although, she wasn’t charged with any crime she hired a lawyer, held a press conference and played the part of the victim.
Kathy’s poor behavior was the President’s fault. Now old white men wanted to end her career. She was exercising her first amendment right to free speech. It was her job as a comedian to push the line.
I’m familiar with that line; there are people who push it every day.
The ISIS photo isn’t the first time Ms. Griffin has pushed the line. In September of 2007, she accepted an award from the Academy of Television and Sciences. She didn’t acknowledge God as playing any part in her success, instead, she said Jesus could “suck it” and claimed that the award was now her god.
I have no idea if Kathy Griffin’s career is over. Her career is of no importance to me. Her spirit is. I pray that she will experience enough pain, just enough to cause her to reflect upon her attitude toward God. That she will apologize to Him and accept His forgiveness.
Otherwise, one day she will cross the line.
