After left-wing comedian Kathy Griffin posed with a bludgeoned look-alike, severed head of President Donald Trump, social media has exploded with reactions to the controversial photo.

The image of Griffin, obtained by TMZ, depicts a gory, severed version of Trump’s head, as the former Fashion Police host stands with a cold expression on her face.

Now, social media users have gone online to express their disgust for the image:

.@maggieNYT, will you ask @kathygriffin to go easy on @realDonaldTrump because he has a young son? Or do you only do that for pedophiles? — John Cardillo (@johncardillo) May 30, 2017

Meanwhile, mainstream media reports downplayed the photo of Griffin, shifting the conversation to another topic:

"Why don't more libs condemn Kathy Griffin?!” Prob same reason more cons didn’t condemn Nugent? Bc they’re dumb & fodder for dumb outrage. — Andrew Kirell (@AndrewKirell) May 30, 2017

I'm already exhausted by the amount of disingenuous moral outrage this will drum up https://t.co/hBNkeH4KZS — eve peyser (@evepeyser) May 30, 2017

Griffin has forced her way into the mainstream, hosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve special for the last few years with Anderson Cooper.

The comedian-turned-political spokesperson also enjoyed a long run on Andy Cohen’s Bravo network as the star of the reality show My Life on The D-List.

Representatives for CNN and Griffin did not immediately respond to Breitbart News’ request for comment.
