Kathy Griffin Criticizes Kevin Hart For Never Mentioning Trump: "That's a Pussy Move Because He's a Black Man"

Kathy Griffin has some harsh words for Kevin Hart

She quickly apologized for the stunt. However, Griffin has taken back that apology. And she has not stopped being vocal.

On Wednesday she spoke to USA Today about the initial pushback of the photo.

She said:

The interesting part came when, seemingly out of nowhere, Griffin threw Kevin Hart under the bus for not being hard enough on Trump, saying that him not going at the president is a "pussy move" because he's a "black man."

He doesn't even mention Trump. I personally think that's a pussy move because he's a black man. But I guess he's selling more tickets than I ever will.

Kevin Hart has talked openly about avoiding the Trump Elephant in the room. Speaking to Variety, Kevin Hart said:

. When you jump into that political realm you’re alienating some of your audience...The world today, it’s really not a laughing matter. It’s serious. I don’t want to draw attention to things I don’t have nice things to say about.
