TDS sufferer Kathy Griffin told Don Lemon that President Donald Trump did not legitimately win the 2024 presidential election due to “tampering.”
During an appearance on The Don Lemon Show, Griffin told Lemon to prepare for a “tin foil hat” moment. “Are you ready for a tin-foil hat moment?” Griffin asked Lemon.
“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 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 asked Griffin 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. “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.”
Ironically, Griffin previously attacked Trump supporters for questioning 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,” the comedian wrote in an August 2021 X post. “They do NOT like either of those positions.”
In the same 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 2024, Griffin admitted she was taken into a psych ward after the 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!”
