Kathy Griffin is expressing concerns about her future, claiming she may end up in an internment camp due to her past criticism of former President Trump.

During a recent appearance on Chicago’s WGN radio station, Griffin promoted her tour “My Life On the PTSD List” while expressing fears about potential persecution.

“Come see me before I’m in one of those internment camp,” she said. “I’m on the enemies list. That’s very obvious.”

“He was very, very scared when I did a controversial 2017 photoshoot, which depicted her holding what appeared to be Trump’s severed head, resulted in significant professional consequences, including her dismissal from CNN’s New Year’s Eve programming and several comedy performances.

In a September conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Griffin elaborated on her concerns about Trump’s alleged intentions.

“He’s going to pick us off, one by one, like bowling pins, and I’m not kidding, and I’m not being paranoid,” she stated.

“I’m a D-lister, he’s not going to get to me on day one, but he’ll get to me, trust me,” Griffin added.

The comedian, who has known Trump for nearly three decades, suggested that his potential re-election would lead to targeted actions against various entertainers.

“If he gets re-elected, he’ll go after Jimmy Kimmel, he’ll go after Jon Stewart, all the name ones, but he’ll go after Rosie O’Donnell. That’s all he’s going to do all day. He’ll have press conferences about it. He’s so much crazier than he was the first go-round.”

Griffin, who previously warned about the possibility of civil war if Republicans were elected in 2022, has recently overcome personal health challenges. Following a lung cancer diagnosis in 2021, she underwent vocal cord surgery that temporarily affected her speech. She has since recovered and returned to performing stand-up comedy.
