Kathy Griffin Mocks Fox News as 'Porn for Old People'

September 23rd, 2014 4:58 PM

Liberal comedienne Kathy Griffin appeared on The View, Tuesday, to mock conservatives. Speaking of her elderly mom, she joked, "Fox News is like porn for old people. I mean, they just keep it on a loop. Old people love Fox. They love it." Griffin said of her mom: "And my mother is a super right-wing conservative and loves her boyfriend Bill O'Reilly and her boyfriend Sean Hannity." [See MP3 audio here.]

Co-host Nicolle Wallace meekly offered that "all the Republicans I know are in love with Megyn Kelly." ABC heavily edited Griffin's response, but it began with "Well, my mother doesn't want to bang [bleeped out]." 

Mediaite translated it as "Well, my mom doesn’t want to bang Megyn Kelly...But she definitely wants to bang Bill O’Reilly, for sure." 

Wallace, who is supposed to represent the right on The View, mostly giggled through the segment.

A transcript of the exchange is below:
