Which comedienne/host/actress completely ignored the cable news anchor backstage before and after they presented an award at an LGBT focused gala the other night?

The funny lady thinks the anchor betrayed a fellow comedienne (and a long time friend of hers) during a tough point in the latter’s life.

Samantha Bee

Anderson Cooper

Kathy Griffin

Kathy Griffin defends Samantha Bee with long Twitter account of her own tangle with Trump

For the first time since she was nearly broken by the backlash from her infamous blood-dripping “decapitated Trump head” episode a year ago, Kathy Griffin is describing in detail the death-threat-level consequences she faced — and warning that the same fate could now befall President Trump’s newest target, Full Frontal host Samantha Bee.

On Friday, Trump issued a tweet calling for TBS to fire the “no talent” Bee for her “horrible language” after she referred to his eldest daughter, Ivanka, as a “feckless (female slur) in an immigration segment. His tweet came a day after she and the network had already apologized and removed the clip from YouTube.

On Thursday, Griffin posted tweets sympathetic to Bee, even though she was initially disappointed that Bee apologized. (She took back her own apology last summer.)

“Please do not be hard on @iamsambee for apologizing,” she wrote. “While I was hoping she wouldn’t, I know first hand what it’s like being put through the Trump wood chipper..what she’s going through right now is crazy. All for a bleeped word. Comics held to higher standards than the president.”

Griffin ran down the litany of woes that befell her after the severed Trump head incident: A months-long federal investigation. Death threats from enraged supporters of Trump. Threats against her 97-year-old mom. Placement on the no-fly and Interpol lists. Detention at airports. Canceled gigs, as when her pal, Anderson Cooper of CNN, shaded her and she lost her co-hosting spot for their annual New Year’s Eve broadcast.

Most alarming: Wave after wave of toxic tweets spurred by attack statements from the White House, including the otherwise low-key first lady Melania Trump, who publicly wondered if Griffin was mentally ill.

“What happened to me must never happen again,” Griffin tweeted Thursday in a Twitter moment that featured more than 50 separate tweets explaining what followed when she published an image of herself holding up a “head,” streaked with what appears to be blood, of President Trump by the hair.- Source
