So we’ve all seen the absurd clips from Kathy Griffin’s press conference today. But you may not have noticed one little comment.
She says in the middle of this clip that she would NEVER go after Barron or any other kid:

She’s saying that the Trump family is falsely accusing her of doing that, and that they’re lying, and that it’s causing death threats to be made against Griffin.
Here’s the problem with her narrative – she already admitted she was targeting Barron.
This is from December when she talked to “Vulture” (how apropos):
“Now more than ever we must absolutely go for all the absurdities,” Kathy Griffin told Vulture at the Equality Now Gala Tuesday night. “For me, that’s Trump and all things Trump. It’s not about trying to be an equal-opportunity offender anymore because Hillary got such a beat down. It’s his turn. So I’m happy to deliver beat down to Donald Trump — and also to Barron. You know a lot of comics are going to go hard for Donald, my edge is that I’ll go direct for Barron. I’m going to get in ahead of the game.”
Aha. Now one journalist actually read this quote back to her at the presser.
Watch her response:

See what she does? She can’t help buy smirk and laugh.
Then she LIES and says it was during her act – it wasn’t. Vulture specifically says that they were just interviewing her.
Here’s the rest of the smug arrogant answer her scummy lawyer gives, completely out of ignorance:
