Kathy Griffin just hosted a press conference in which she shared the intentions and story behind her controversial photo of a beheaded President Donald Trump.

In her speech, Griffin was asked whether she intentionally sought to affect Barron Trump, the President’s young son.

Griffin apologetically claimed she would never go after a child, “That was never my intent I never wanted to hurt anyone, much less a child”:

We remember a very specific instance in 2011, which she went after a child (per Fox News):

Kathy Griffin announced her New Year’s resolution to continue a verbal assault on the Palin family. Only in 2011, the comedian said she intends to target Sarah Palin’s 16-year-old daughter, Willow. “I’ve already gone for Sarah, Todd and Bristol obviously,” Griffin told The Hollywood Reporter. “But I think it’s Willow’s year to go down. In 2011, I want to offend a new Palin.”

Griffin seems to have an unwavering disregard in who she attacks:

Hollywood publicist Angie Meyer says Griffin’s targeting of Willow, a minor, is even worse. “To attack a young girl solely because of her last name seems rather contradictory of the types of justice she champions for others,” Meyer said. “A 50-year-old woman who chooses to attack a 16-year-old girl publicly at a time when cyber-bullying and teenage suicide are at their highest reported rates, not only sets irreconcilable example for others, it’s tasteless, immoral, and frankly – classless.”

This is not the first time Griffin’s “classless” comedy took a swipe at a younger family member as she also bullishly went after Bristol Palin (per Mediaite):
