offended? This is pure manufactured outrage, and the press conference was completely pointless.

...she is right on this.

If you get past the spectacle, you can clearly see that this is scary. No president has ever gone after a comedian - which is pure Dictator 101. Already, we're normalizing to the point of eating our own. That's not to say Griffin is a liberal or a democrat (I don't know nor care what she is), but by focusing on her and Bloom's dipshittery, we're missing the forest for the trees. Plus, it takes focus off of Russia, which is exactly what Trump wants.
