Kathy Griffin Claims 2024 Election Was ‘Rigged’ By ‘Good Old Boys In The South’
Vehemently anti-Trump comedian Kathy Griffin claimed during a recent appearance on the “Don Lemon Show” that President Donald Trump did not legitimately win the 2024 presidential election due to “tampering.”
“Are you ready for a tin-foil hat moment?” Griffin asked Lemon, who said he was. “I am just going to be bold and say this. You know, you can take issue with this all you want. I do not think he won in a free and fair election. How do you like that, lefties? Yeah, I said it,” the comedian, who once generated national outrage for holding up a photo of a mock severed head of the president, ranted.
“I’m Kathy Griffin, and I do not think Trump won in a free and fair election. I believe there was tampering. I don’t know if it was the Elon connection? I don’t know if it was just a few good old boys in the South,” she continued. “I know I’ll take heat for this and people will say I am crazy, but I have been called crazy before.”
Lemon followed up by asking whether her theory was based on anything concrete or just a “gut feeling.”
“My gut is telling me that something was up with them,” Griffin replied, at which point Lemon said he was open to entertaining the idea. “You’re not far off. I won’t say that I disagree with you. I’m an evidence person. I would like to see the evidence.”
Griffin has previously attacked Trump supporters for questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 election. “It’s heartbreaking when they accuse me of being in a cult because I’m vaccinated and think the 2020 election was free and fair. They do NOT like either of those positions,” the comedian wrote in an August 2021 X post.
In a separate post from January of that year, Griffin accused the Trump family of sowing doubt in American elections by questioning the results. “And Jr, Eric, Kimberly and all the folks in Trump orbit who millions and millions of people actually listen to and believe regarding nonexistent voter fraud. I mean , they ALL used this lie to shatter people’s belief in a free and fair election,” she said.
In March of last year, Griffin admitted that her fanatical opposition to President Trump landed her in the psych ward. While appearing on “The View,” Griffin claimed that backlash over her 2017 severed head stunt played a major role in the decline of her mental health.
“Six years I was out of work because of that ****. There I said what it was, all because of a picture!” she shouted, arms waving. “A picture I took making fun of the president!”
