Kathy Griffin sent shockwaves through the internet when she posed with a “beheaded” President Trump. Hours after the image was released, she said she went “way too far.”

The comedian looks somber in pictures and video that are reminiscent of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) beheading videos and photos. She holds a facsimile of Mr. Trump’s detached, bloodied head by the hair.

The photo was taken by Tyler Shields, who is known for controversial art, including a photo of Clint Eastwood’s daughter burning a $100,000 Hermes handbag.

Griffin tweeted in a graphic video post, “I caption this ‘there was blood coming out of his eyes, blood coming out of his wherever’

Within hours, after outrage across the political spectrum, Griffin apologized and deleted the images and the video.

“The image is too disturbing, I understand how it offends people,” Griffin said in a video posted on Twitter.

The tweet immediately received blowback, even drawing the wrath of 2012 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, and Chelsea Clinton.

“Our politics have become too base, too low & too vulgar, but Kathy Griffin’s post descends into an even more repugnant & vile territory,” Romney tweeted.

“This is vile and wrong. It is never funny to joke about killing a president,” Clinton posted on Twitter.
