DL Hughley Asks Why A Video Of Trump Attacking A Head That Looks Like CNN Is A Joke, But Kathy Griffin's Photo Was A Threat

Everyone is weighing in on the ridiculousness this presidency has become.

There seems to be quite a few double standards going around Washington these days. Well, Donald Trump’s president, his whole administration, as well as himself, are hypocrites. So, there are a few glaring examples.

  • Remember when Kathy Griffin got slammed for holding up a severed Trump head? Well, The Donald’s doing some slamming of his own, except it’s against CNN and a video the president found on Reddit depicting the cable news giant getting beat up by him.

    Comedian DL Hughley initially pointed out the contradiction, tweeting, “So #KathyGriiffin holds a head that looks like #Trump it's a threat, #Trump beats a head that looks like #CNN it's a joke? #TeamDl.”

    The video stems from Trump’s appearance on WWE’s WrestleMania 23 in 2007 where he body slams Vince McMahon before shaving the wrestling empire’s head honcho's head. It’s unclear as to how Donald Trump found the video.

    Attempts by Trump’s White House press team recently have been to focus on his policy agenda, but this, mixed with his nasty feud with the hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, has taken center stage.

    A large swath of social media has joined with Hughley in condemning the video. They also chastised it in their own special way, of course. Check out some of the reaction below.
