Fox News Digital offered a set of stories on what left-tilting comedians have been saying this week. Lindsay Kornick reported Kathy Griffin is at it again, promoting her comedy tour "My Life on the PTSD-List" on Chicago’s WGN radio on Tuesday. Griffin described being able to travel again after her decapitated-Trump stunt from 2017 put her on the "no-fly list."
"Come see me before I’m in one of those internment camps," Griffin said….
She later added, "I’m on the enemies list. That’s very obvious. He was very, very scared when I did a parody photo of him and a Halloween mask and a lot of ketchup. And he brings up my name every chance he gets."
Fact check: False. Trump does not talk about Kathy Griffin incessantly, and as Kornick pointed out, "Trump has not spoken about setting up internment camps, though the Harris campaign accused him of doing so in election ads." They do plan on temporary housing for illegal immigrants who will be deported, but Griffin isn't in that category.
Kornick also reported that comedian Michelle Buteau blasted Dave Chappelle for making money off "not funny" and "dangerous" jokes about transgender ideology in his successful Netflix specials.
This also came in a Netflix special that premiered on Tuesday. She made an explicit joke regarding her "beautiful, Black lesbian friend," which she claimed was an example of a respectful way to reference the LGBTQ community.
"What I’m saying is it can be done. It can be done. We can tell jokes and stories and not disparage a whole community," Buteau said. "We can do that, we can make it funny. You just have to work at it, right?
"So if you guys ever run into Dave Chappelle, can you let him know that s---? I don’t think he knows that s---."
"I don’t think we’ll run into Dave because he’s the GOAT. And he is the GOAT, if that means ‘going off about trans people.’
"Dave, it’s not funny. It’s dangerous," she continued. "I can't believe somebody would make millions and millions of dollars for making people feel unsafe. That is so wild to me, truly."
Buteau declared that any trans humor is off limits. "I'm gonna tell everybody I wanna make millions and millions of dollars for making people feel safe, seen, secure, heard and entertained." Only one side of the LGBTQ debate can be mocked. But then, the Left won't acknowledge you can disagree with the LGBTQ agenda.
To make it a triple, there is Gabriel Hays reporting on Jim Gaffigan mysteriously claiming to the Daily Beast that he wasn't criticizing Trump fans with some savage tweets in 2020. "I regret that people think that I was criticizing people that support Trump. And that was never the intention. I regret – someone said like, now I can’t follow you anymore and I kind of said ‘F you’ to them," the comedian said. But there's no question he was attacking Trump fans.
Gaffigan lashed out at Trump in a series of tweets back in 2020, when X was still Twitter and Trump was running for re-election. In one, he wrote, "Look Trumpers I get it. As a kid I was a cubs fan and I know you stick by your team no matter what but he's a traitor and a con man who doesn't care about you. Deep down you know it. I'm sure you enjoy pissing people off but you know Trump is a liar and a criminal."
In another, he bashed Trump for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, writing, "You know Trump just creates enemies. You know you can't trust him. You know he been incompetent during this crisis. You know all those people didn't need to die. Trump talks about the Space Program and you can't safely go to a movie. Wake up."
