Comedian Kathy Griffin is taking a swing at the president as she continues her criticism of President Donald Trump.
The comedian suggested on Twitter on Tuesday evening that the president should use a syringe with air, as she responded to CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta noting a remark by Trump.
The president was considering if he should be taking insulin — though he is not known to have a history of being diabetic — as he said during a diabetes event, “I don’t use insulin. Should I be? Huh? I never thought about it. But I know a lot of people are very badly affected, right? Unbelievable.”

“Syringe with nothing but air inside it would do the trick,” Griffin responded, adding, “F**K TRUMP.”
As The Washington Examiner noted, “In medical procedures, air accidentally injected into the body’s bloodstream through syringes or IVs can cause air embolisms, which can be fatal.”

She then responded to the Examiner’s story, tweeting, “I SURE DID, F**KER.”

Griffin’s recent criticism is not new, as she has been critical of Trump in the past — including the well-known time that she conducted a photoshoot with the prop of a fake severed, bloodied head of Trump. More recently, she tore into Trump over testing capacity after she was reportedly denied a test for the coronavirus in March, as IJR previously reported.
