Kathy Griffin Announces She is Having Surgery to Remove Half of Her Left Lung Due to Lung Cancer

Trump hater Kathy Griffin has announced she is having surgery today to remove half of her left lung. She touts that she has never smoked and that she is fully vaccinated in her statement.

Griffin tweeted:

“I’ve got to tell you guys something. I have cancer. I’m about to go into surgery to have half of my left lung removed. Yes, I have lung cancer even though I’ve never smoked! The doctors are very optimistic as it is stage one and contained to my left lung. Hopefully no chemo or radiation after this and I should have normal function with my breathing. I should be up and running around as usual in a month or less. It’s been a helluve 4 years, trying to get back to work, making you guys laugh and entertaining you, but I’m gonna be just fine. Of course I am fully vaccinated for Covid. The consequences for being unvaccinated would have been even more serious. Please stay up to date on your medical check ups. It’ll save your life.
XXOO, KG”

With this announcement, it comes as no surprise that a tweet made by Griffin has risen to steal the spotlight. In October of last year when then-President Donald Trump was hospitalized as a precaution after he contracted Covid-19 Griffin was quick to wish him death. She tweeted “Is he dead yet? I have shit to do. Thx.” This tweet is now being reshared across Twitter. Twitter user @drefanzor reshared it with his own caption. “Kathy Griffin has lung cancer. Here she is in October 2020 when President Trump was hospitalized for COVID-19:”

Griffin was one of many who despised the former president, however, she took much of her hateful rhetoric too far such as the above tweet. Griffin also tweeted a picture of herself holding a mock severed head of President Donald Trump in a stunt to try to stay relevant. She later held a press conference after much backlash from the stunt. Griffin started to cry during the press conference and placed blame elsewhere.

It’s despicable that Kathy Griffin refused to take responsibility for her vile action. She called a presser to blame everyone but herself.

Many on Twitter are calling her cancer karma for much of her untasteful ‘humor’ and angry outbursts.

“Kathy Griffin just proved Karma is real”

“For the record…I never wished cancer on Kathy griffin. But I do believe in Karma, sorry. she has said so many f*cked up things in her career not to mention the viral picture of Trump’s head that Barron had to see. I wish her well even if she is garbage.”

For the record…I never wished cancer on Kathy Griffin. But I do believe in Karma, sorry. She has said so many fucked up things in her career not to mention the viral picture of Trump's head that Barron had to see.

I wish her well even if she is garbage.

Griffin wished the former president death and now many supporters of Trump are wishing her the best with her battle of cancer ahead of her. I’m sure Griffin will soon give updates on her journey with cancer, as she has made sure we all know how her drug addiction recovery has been going for her. We all wish her a speedy recovery and maybe a softening of her heart.
