It’s not often that a leftist actually gets held accountable for what they do – especially on social media where they seem to be able to do and say whatever they want while conservatives are banned and punished left and right.
However, this time it was different, and while we think Griffin should have been banned off the site and arrested by Secret Service for what she said, we’re happy she was at least called out and forced to delete her tweet.
It all started when Griffin tweeted out instructions on how to assassinate President Trump.

The tweet has since been deleted, but this is what it said:
“Syringe with nothing but air inside it would do the trick. FUCK TRUMP”
Griffin was saying that someone should inject Trump with a syringe full of air in order to kill him.
It took a lot of people reporting her and complaining to Twitter, but they finally forced her to delete the tweet and locked her out of her account for a specified amount of time – I believe it was 12 hours.
Comedienne Kathy Griffin must delete her tweets calling for violence against President Trump or get stuck in Twitter jail.
A Twitter spokeswoman confirmed to the Washington Examiner on Wednesday that Griffin’s initial tweet, advocating for somebody to plunge an air-filled syringe into Trump, violates company rules on abusive behavior.
“We’ve required the account owner to delete it before continuing back to Twitter,” the spokeswoman said in an email.
In addition, a reporter for the Washington Examiner reached out to the Secret Service, who we hope will go and speak to Ms. Griffin and make sure she understands that what she is doing is a CRIME.
Because let’s face it, these unhinged mental cases won’t be happy until one of their equally. sick and disturbed followers kill President Trump.
These are “dog whistles” they’re out and it needs to stop.
