President Donald Trump has hit out at comedian Kathy Griffin after pictures of her holding a replica of his bloodied severed head emerged on the net.
Taking to Twitter Donald Trump called the picture sick and said that his youngest son, Barron, who is 11 was having a “hard time” with the picture.
Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!

In a video posted earlier today, Kathy Griffin said that she had “gone too far” after the picture of a decapitated President Trump attracted a major backlash from all sides of the political spectrum.
In the video, which she published on Twitter she said,
“I sincerely apologise. I’m just now seeing the reaction to these images. I’m a comic, I cross the line. I move the line, then I cross it. I went way too far. The image is too disturbing.
“I understand how it offends people. It wasn’t funny, I get it. I beg for your forgiveness, I went too far. I made a mistake and I was wrong.”
