Say what you will about Griffin for covering a rubber mask in ketchup, but there's no denying she's a survivor with some real grit and determination. I admire that. Many would have crumbled in the face of that kind of hysteria.

survivor?
At first I was so not happy with the audience for not being receptive enough, then I realized they are probably just so stunned by what Kathy had to go through... She was already a legend and icon, now she's truly a hero for human rights.
Most of people don't like a strong woman that tells the truth. Go Kathy.
I don’t think it’s a tough crowd, they are just listening. It’s more lecture than standup in this setting. Stay strong Kathy. Interesting story.

an extremely important story
D list? Honey you are A#1 in my book, thank you!
Glad that Kathy is bringing it. Her message is important and she's a true patriot.
Kathy has been my hero since she kept me laughing while I was disabled and in constant pain . She gets it .
Kathy, I have supported you since the beginning of the Trump mask fake outrage debacle. Thanks to your appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher, I learned about your Carnegie Hall show. I am proud that I was able to show my support for you by purchasing 3 tickets to your sold out show. Your tenacity in the face of this BS is inspiring. Keep your boots on the ground. Thousands of us have your back.

She threatened violence against the president. How do you think people are going to react? No matter your thoughts on Trump (I don’t even like him), he’s a human being with a family. Absolutely sick woman.

Total proof that it was a tough crowd. That was a great line.
With her in the. Begining, still with her now. We stick with our people thick and thin. Kathy is we call an icon and trailblazer, the BIGGEST balls in Hollywood. This lady deserves respect. #TIPIT
Kathy, you are AMAZING. This was so devastating to see you go through and hear about. You are such a trooper, it's unbelievable. You've been through hell you didn't deserve and back and now you're working your way back to the top and that is so admirable and awesome. You are my hero. I am so very sorry for what happened to you and what you went through.
I'd say STUNNED audience, but she killed it! Bravo Kathy!
Tough crowd. I'm glad Kathys made a comeback after getting Dixie Chicked

Yes, tough crowd, there's barely any feedback from them. And honestly, after a half hour I quit watching the video since I don't find any humor to it. I think she should just forget about D.T. and just focus on her usual comedic material.
Kathy is a force of nature. The build-up to 20:30 is impressive. 💪

You're my hero, Kathy. Don't ever let go of the strong woman you are. You inspire me to power through my problems, no matter how tough they are. Thank you!
I love her. I saw her San Fran last year, she was amazing. She's a f***ing Icon and legend! I Stan here f the haters.
"Know Your 1st Amendment Rights" what a brilliant theme & marketing tie in. You are resilient and resourceful. Much respect.
🌿🌿🌿 Kathy, you didn’t give up and you didn’t in - I’m sorry you had to go through this crap. Just horrible! You’re a feminist hero and my hero. Thank you for telling the truth about trump.xx
Brought tears to my eyes, love you Kathy
I don't think think the crowd was dead so much as mesmerized. That's a lot to take in. She SOUNDS crazy, but the proof is in the pudding. She has worked herself from blacklist to legit career in the last two years and got all of those awards and accomplishments as well.
thank you.
Much love and respect Kathy! U inspire me! Xoxox
Kathy good for you girl! I respect how real you are now. Keep speaking truth to power!
Thank you Kathy! I'll always support you!
Thank you Kathy for bringing joy and laughter to millions. I still put on one of your bravo specials when I'm feeling blue.

Girl, now you know why George Michael did everything himself. He made loads of money because of it.
Love you Kathy!!!❤
Always loved her, will continue to....mega fan. Xoxo love you, Kathy!
Bless you, Kathleen. :)
You are a brave woman. Keep speaking truth to power!!!
Kathy is a strong Scorpio woman. They all met their match. They will have to kill her to get her to stop, and it isn't easy to kill off a Scorpion. Kathy, you've been put through hell but you are stronger for it. Don't you dare sit down, don't you dare stop. KEEP GOING. You are loved and funny as hell. Keep going girl....everyone is watching you rise! Tough as nails.... you have to respect a woman that can still stand up after all this. To try to take her ability to make a living is SHAMEFUL. They did this crap to the Dixie Chicks...and they still aren't ready to make nice!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump is the most powerful man in the world, Kathy is a disgraced journalist who spends her days ranting bullshit on Twitter. She totally won alright!
It's so sad what happened to her and you can see she's still shaken by it. She's a brilliant comedian and the worst you can say about that mask photo is that it might have been in poor taste. I still don't understand the backlash she faced from her so called "friends". What the government did to her on the other hand was straight out of the Russian playbook. Destroying ppl who make fun of you is dictatorship territory. Shame on Anderson Cooper and all her gay fans...You should know better than that...

Emerald Floyd haha I’m happy to stumble on it!
MAN, she hung tough up there!. She probably did it as stand up because that is what she knows how to do. Presented any other way would be like Kathy was starting a protest or movement which would probably bring her more crap. Love her or hate her, she is totally right in what she said. Pitiful how our "Commander in Chief" not only couldn't let a joke roll off his shoulder, and even worse go on the attack! I've seen worse presidential jokes on SNL!
Dear Kathy I’m a Muslim Saudi woman and I salute you! I get your comedy and I’m sorry for all the ugliness that happened to you! You have a great fan base everywhere so keep looking ahead and stay strong we know how hard you work and wish you all the best of luck & happiness in the near future and beyond ❤️🌹👌
Love her.
Kathy, I've always loved you and it will never change as long as you're the same Kathy we all love ❤️❤️😘
Love you Kathy!!
Supported you then Kathy, supporting you now
Love Kathy!!! I wasn’t bothered by the photo. I saw it before tmz posted it. And I thought it was crazy that you posed with a fake trump head but you definitely did not deserve that media storm.

sage eridani show a straight white man doing what she did with ANY woman for any reason and your hypocrisy would be painfully obvious.
this is great
Democracy in the US has been destroyed by the Dept. Of Homeland Security. I have been taught that every vote counts but the popular vote was over ridden by the electoral college in the 2016 election. People didn't like Hillary so they voted for the president we have now. It's a sad situation we are living in now but this too shall pass. Hopefully. Make more comedy Kathy.

I love Kathy. I saw her in Antwerp, Belgium and she was the bomb.
I really can't believe NETFLIX hasn't paid her for a special. It would be so interesting to see her what she'd do/say. Gotta be better than the Amy one...
GOD BLESS YOU. LONG MAY YOU REIGN. WHAT WAS DONE TO YOU IS CRIMINAL BEYOND BELIEF BUT YOU ARE LOVED....
Love you Kathy. Thank you so much for making me laugh over the past few years even through your troubles. I need it as well as others need to laugh right now. Also, LOVE my F*ck Trump mug. It's made really well, like, hasn't chipped or anything and I use it daily!
Love you Kathy.. you're a winner
Kathy Griffin is a true American hero.

God Bless Kathy Griffin. She's fighting the good fight. She's showing every woman, lgbtq person, person of color, every marginalized person how to fight back and speak your truth.
GREAT! She's so awesome!
Brava, Kathy! I hope you come back 100 times stronger.

Holy shit, that was incredible...and fucking hilarious, as always 😂 I also love whenever Kathy plays directly into tension and awkwardness and addresses the audience often, SO funny. I can't wait for her special...and lmao at when she said "big ISIS queen" 🤣
Shared to my Facebook account. This story needs to be heard. It demonstrates how a stupid society with no critical thinking can come so close to wrecking a person's life for a joke.
What Kathy did was in questionable taste in the pursuit of humor, yet when Ted Nugent called for the lynchings of Obama and Clinton, he suffered no consequences, talk about double standards! One thing Kathy did learn was that her "friend" Anderson Cooper showed his true colors, a person I used to respect.
Youre doing great KATHY! love from Indonesia!
You are not the D list girl, you are A List, number one.
She is the real self made, hard working millionaire that Trump will never be.
Never been a big fan, but I admire her strength and perseverance. She persisted!
You are out of your 1st Amendment shirt Kathy!!!
KATHY QWWEN YAAAS mama !!!
Kathy you are awesome comedian!!!!!
I love Kathy and I don’t understand why people aren’t laughing
Tough room.
Love you queen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This crowd needs to lighten the hell up!!!
