Comedian Kathy Griffin slammed Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene after Greene accused her of threatening to incite "civil war."

Earlier, Griffin urged her followers to vote for Democrats in November's midterm elections, saying voting for Democrats is the right choice for those who "don't want a Civil War" and voting for Republicans is the right choice for those that do.


The tweet angered Greene, who said Griffin's tweet sounded "very threatening," adding:

"Americans just want their elected leaders to solve their problems that have been shoved into their lives by stupid politicians."
"Not your civil war."

Greene then rather oddly advised Griffin to "tell your governor"—Griffin lives in Illinois, which is governed by Democrat J.B. Pritzker—"to increase fossil fuel use so people can have air conditioning."

Griffin responded shortly afterward with:

"Can someone please just get this poor woman some extra toes? Thx."

Griffin's retort was a reference to a photograph of Greene that went viral last summer.

It prompted many to suggest she has unusual-looking feet.

Griffin's response had Twitter users in stitches.


Others criticized Greene directly.


The two women clashed last month after Greene criticized Griffin for condemning the actions of Alex Stein, a known right-wing troll who had sexually harassed a female reporter at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

After Griffin observed the "misogyny with this crowd is just as pervasive as the racism," Greene defended Stein, saying he was "simply treating a hard leftist reporter the same way they treat people on the right," adding Stein had criticized her "to her face with facts and no mask."

Greene also responded by sharing a now-infamous photo of Griffin holding a likeness of the severed head of former Republican President Donald Trump.

In May 2017, Griffin posted a video of herself holding a prop meant to resemble Trump's severed head.

She wrote at the time, referencing a past comment Trump made about former Fox News anchorwoman Megyn Kelly:

"I caption this 'there was blood coming out of his eyes, blood coming out of his...wherever."

Griffin was savaged for the image. Soon afterward, she removed the photo from her social media accounts and asked for forgiveness.

The backlash cost Griffin marketing deals and her spot on CNN's New Year's Eve broadcast with Anderson Cooper. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Secret Service investigated her to determine if she was, in fact, a threat to the President.

Griffin later retracted her apology but the incident made the comedian—who has regularly courted controversy for her style of comedy—the poster child for "Trump derangement syndrome," angering many on the political right amid a national conversation on the limits of First Amendment rights.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
