Kathy Griffin
Washed up comedienne Kathy Griffin on Tuesday evening told CNN’s Jim Acosta to stab President Trump with a syringe full of air.
Air embolisms, or air bubbles in the bloodstream, can cause potentially fatal strokes.
CNN’s Jim Acosta tweeted: Trump at diabetes event at WH: “I don’t use insulin. Should I be?”
Kathy Griffin responded by telling Acosta to kill President Trump.
“Syringe with nothing but air inside it would do the trick,” Griffin said in a tweet responding to Jim Acosta.
“FUCK TRUMP” she added.

Update:
Twitter said Kathy Griffin’s tweet did not violate the terms of service, however her tweet has been deleted.
Twitter determined Kathy Griffin did NOT break the terms of service with this tweet where she encourages someone to kill @realDonaldTrump. They won’t take action because "she’s not telling people to go do it."
They said this despite the fact she‘s clearly advocating for it. pic.twitter.com/dChHDNKXrk

This is not the first time Kathy Griffin has threatened President Trump.
She previously received a visit from the Secret Service after her Trump beheading stunt which also landed her on Interpol’s watch list.
