Kathy Griffin is under fire after tweeting about a possible method to “do the trick” on President Trump involving a “syringe with nothing but air inside it.”
The tweet by Griffin came in response to CNN’s Jim Acosta tweeting a quote that Trump must have said at a diabetes event.

Acosta tweeted, “Trump at diabetes event at WH: ‘I don’t use insulin. Should I be?'”
Griffin, who got fired from CNN over a picture of her holding a knife and a bloodied replica head of Trump, replied to Acosta: “Syringe with with nothing but air inside it would do the trick.”
“F— TRUMP,” she added. See Below

Moments later, Griffin agreed with the Washington Examiner’s notion that she is advocating “for someone to stab President Trump with a syringe full of air”, which “can be fatal” if carried out.
Griffin replied, “I SURE DID, F—ER.”
