There are about 20 seats left in all of Carnegie Hall that haven’t been sold for Kathy Griffin’s comeback concert on June 26th. Most of those seats have obstructed views, or are so high up that you’d need binoculars to see the comedian whose career was almost kiboshed for good last year.

What happened? In May 2017, famed photographer Tyler Shields shot her holding the bloody, decapitated head of Donald Trump. The right wing went crazy, she was criticized and ostracized. How dare she do that a sitting president? Well, thankfully, people have calmed down. The decapitating (let’s not get started about Trump) was political protest art. It was outrageous but it wasn’t unforgivable– obviously — since around 2,800 people have paid top dollar to see Griffin return.

Good example of just how pronounced the divide has become. Liberal progresses don't care how inappropriate and disgusting their opposition has become.

The Leftist have never cared. They know they control the media and much of the opinion and will get no real pushback on their actions.

Further proof that Leftists don’t know good comedy.

Yep, conner lamb, the "moderate", looked out across the political landscape and said, "These are the moderates I want to associate with!"

So so moderate and capable of "reaching across the aisle"

“The right wing” wasn’t the only people that went nuts. How about anyone with a heart? My god can you imagine if someone had done that to Obama?

I believe Trump’s only comment on the matter is how sad he was that his son had to see something like that.

Hopefully this emboldens Kathy to do more stupid shite which only helps to steer more of the country towards MAGA.

That's great, actually. It emboldens them to continue and increase such behavior. Then they'll pay dearly for it in the midterms and 2020.

Less than 3,000 people in New York literally means nothing

It harmed her career way more than it helped. Trump broke her

How did you get from here:

I found the beheading imagery to be distasteful, but if I found her funny (I don't), I might still buy a ticket to one of her shows. The idea that every frick up has to end every career forever is just silly.

If she was selling out a 15,000 to 20,000 seat venuelike Madison Square Garden, then I would think there was something to this. But 2,800 people attending a show of a fairly well-known comedian making a publicized comeback following a pretty large controversy, isn’t really that surprising nor telling.

Will they show up? I bet they'd be more reluctant to do that if they had to actually sit through a Kathy Griffin performance.
