She attributes this to being deemed \u201ctoo inappropriate or controversial,\u201d partly due to a 2017 photoshoot where she held a bloody mask resembling President Donald Trump, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-threatens-to-cancel-july-4th-if-americans-refuse-to-get-coronavirus-vaccine\/\" title=\"Biden Threatens To \u2018Cancel\u2019 July 4th If Americans Refuse To Get Coronavirus Vaccine\">drew widespread criticism<\/a> and an investigation by the Secret Service.

Aside from Democrats and Republicans alike denouncing her, Griffin was investigated by the Secret Service for the stunt and found it hard to get work afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>As late as this year, Page Six says Griffin still defends the decision. \u201cI absolutely lean into it, because I was right, and I was ahead of my time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What does she mean by \u201cahead of my time?\u201d Is she implying she agrees with the assassination attempts against Trump?<\/p>\n<p>Who would have thought normalizing acts of violence against the president might put some distance between oneself and their peers?<\/p>\n<p>Apparently not Griffin.<\/p>\n<p>Page Six\u2019s report stems from a post she made on social media platform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DaOcAGdSO1c\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> about her suspicions. \u201cI don\u2019t even know. When you\u2019re banned from a show \u2014 and if you guys know me, I\u2019m banned from most of them. You\u2019re welcome, America and Indonesia. They don\u2019t usually tell you you\u2019re banned. They just can\u2019t seem to find room for you,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Griffin complained about Fallon having guests on like former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor, citing a 2024 case in which McGregor was found civilly liable for rape, mistakenly calling it a conviction.\u00a0 \u201cI do think it was a bad call for him to have convicted rapist Conor McGregor on,\u201d she said before whining about Trump himself being on the program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt kind of reminds me of when Fallon had [Donald Trump] on and then he petted [his] hair, or as I call it, bird\u2019s nest. I don\u2019t know, that didn\u2019t sit well with me,\u201d Griffin said, noting the president\u2019s 2016 appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Her post encapsulates her demographic \u2013 old, bitter, liberal women who are childless.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s mad, placing blame on anyone but herself for her abhorrent actions. She\u2019s jealous of others\u2019 success. She cannot fathom that her actions have consequences.<\/p>\n<p>The icing on the cake is that she\u2019s suffering from one of the worst documented cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>The distinction between how the left and right voice their opposition shouldn\u2019t be ignored.<\/p>\n<p>They burn us in effigy, hold up our severed heads, attempt to or successfully assassinate us, and in response, we merely hold signs up, on occasion, and vote.<\/p>\n<p>Griffin is reeling because someone doesn\u2019t want her to sit on a couch in front of a studio audience.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps she should be thankful crazed ideologues are not trying to murder her, burn cities down, and riot endlessly.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
