including Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She\u00a0shared a clip to TikTok, stitching a video showcasing a piece of art that consisted of intricate cloth heads of four billionaires, with &#8216;blood&#8217; dripping from their neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The four decapitated heads depicted are Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and the current president, with the video panning across them hanging on the wall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The clip ends with Griffin tilting her head and nodding with a very slight smile, as the text above her reads: &#8216;That&#8217;s all.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;For the first time ever\u2026 no comment,&#8217; she captioned the clip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The pointed video comes after the comedian caused mass outrage in 2017 when she posted a clip showing her holding a fake decapitated head made to look like Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The act caused the media personality to lose her hosting gig with CNN, which she had had been a part of since 2007.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-cf67574ecf78feae\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/99951553-14870343-Griffin_was_noticeably_makeup_free_and_her_flaming_red_hair_look-a-75_175150572113.jpeg\" height=\"884\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Griffin was noticeably makeup-free and her flaming red hair looked wild as it blew around in the breeze\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Griffin was noticeably makeup-free and her flaming red hair looked wild as it blew around in the breeze<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-a6de955b750ee62e\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/99951555-14870343-Griffin_who_looked_to_be_in_high_spirits_was_joined_on_her_walk_-a-76_175150572114.jpeg\" height=\"782\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Griffin, who looked to be in high spirits, was joined on her walk by a muscular, gray-haired gentleman wearing all-black\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Griffin, who looked to be in high spirits, was joined on her walk by a muscular, gray-haired gentleman wearing all-black<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Viewers quickly flooded to the comment section of this latest clip &#8211;

dripping from their neck<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The comedian, who said she had attempted to ban him from discussing the topic, called Colbert a &#8216;d*ck&#8217; and branded the interview as a &#8216;bulls**t ambush.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Griffin argued the CBS host&#8217;s line of questioning was &#8216;laced with misogyny,&#8217; and accused Colbert of punching down on a &#8216;D-list celebrity.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The claims came seven years after interview had taken place, and nearly eight after the controversy that caused Griffin to lose her plum hosting gig at CNN.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The interview with Colbert months later saw her lightly pressed about the May 2017 photo-up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Griffin said she&#8217;d just been questioned by the Secret Service over the photo and had begged with Colbert to avoid the topic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">First, showrunners obliged, she said &#8211; before recalling how they shifted course at the 11th hour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The comic compared the ensuing experience to a grilling one might expect on &#8217;60 Minutes&#8217; instead of a satirical talk show. She claimed Colbert &#8211; a comic as well &#8211; &#8216;kept going and kept going&#8217; with his questions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;And then the tears came,&#8217; Griffin said. &#8216;I just remember thinking, &#8220;He would not talk down to the guys like this.
