    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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...

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!

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.
