CNN has fired comedian Kathy Griffin from her New Year’s Eve hosting duties at the network, after Griffin shared a photo in which she was holding a prop of President Trump’s severed head.
Griffin, host of CNN’s New Year’s Eve programming alongside Anderson Cooper, apologized on social media Tuesday night. “I am just now seeing the reaction of these images,” she said.
