Kathy Griffin’s video celebration of the news on Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen is a sight that cannot be unseen.
“Celebrating the Manafort and Cohen verdicts…topless, naturally,” the comedian captioned the video that featured her elated dancing – without a shirt – in front of a window.

Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign chairman, was found guilty of tax evasion and bank fraud by a Virginia jury Tuesday and the president’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to tax evasion and campaign finance violations on the same day.
While the liberal media gloated over the news that they continued to assert was catastrophic for the president, Griffin chose to commemorate the announcements as one would expect from the comedian who was the target of extensive backlash over her infamous photo holding a mock decapitated Trump head.
She fiercely defended her video response as Twitter users complained that her performance was “not helping.”

Not helping @joshgreenman? I’m a fucking comic, not a member of Congress. https://t.co/FNBe4LGoP8

Upon reading the replies to Kathy’s tweet, it appears as though the footage of her dancing topless to celebrate Manafort and Cohen’s guilt in fact helped many Americans. I am very happy for you all. https://t.co/v2QyIdhGAO

Griffin continued her outrage by mocking and insulting critics who commented on the video.
This is probably almost as damaging to the left as the verdicts are to right tbh. https://t.co/PQSQzFT6oy

Yes, because a comic who tells Dick jokes has that much influence compared to the president’s personal attorney and former campaign chairman getting charged.

One Twitter user’s fitting remarks seemed to really set Griffin off.
When I get really depressed about the state of the republican party and the future of conservatism I think about how the other side has Kathy Griffin and I’m immediately cheered up. With opponents like that, we can’t lose. Unlike Kathy’s neighbors… https://t.co/BCY97kNEuo

Usually, I’d be hurt by someone calling me an idiot. But when it’s done with this amount of eloquence and afterthought, I can do nothing but surrender.
Kathy really is the thinking woman’s comic. https://t.co/shUMAFOKWk— Annika H Rothstein (@truthandfiction) August 21, 2018
Griffin reposted her video to celebrate the news of Republican congressman Duncan Hunter and his wife being indicted on corruption charges.

Griffin wasn’t the only liberal celebrity rejoicing, though probably the only one to do so topless.
Hollywood’s left seized on the news as vindication and a hopeful relief that they had something – finally – to hold against Trump.

Imagine if Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort, and Donald Trump were all in the same prison. That would be the best season of The Apprentice ever.
