Sen. Scott Brown Goes After Kathy Griffin For Calling His Daughters ‘Prostitutes’
Republican Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown has somehow, through no effort of his own, found himself in a feud with the cable network Bravo and comedienne Kathy Griffin. The Republican Senator’s office released a statement today censuring Griffin for a joke she made in which she called his daughters, Ayla and Arianna, “prostitutes.”
In a segment with CNN’s John King and Dana Bash, Griffin showed a picture of Brown and, describing him, claimed he had “two daughters, who are prostitutes.” King shuffled his feet nervously in response, while Bash laughed (a fact conservative media watchdog groups quickly picked up on).
The channel then flashed a disclaimer, from “Bravo’s legal team,” assuring the audience that Ayla and Arianna Brown are not, in fact, prostitutes. The joke, it seems, was that Bash and King were helping Griffin learn about politics before a trip to Washington, DC, and Griffin was grossly misinformed.
Brown was not amused by the joke, but for much different reasons than every other person watching the show found it unfunny. In a passionate statement supporting his daughters, Brown stated: “People can call me any name they want, but families are off limits. I love my daughters Ayla and Arianna very much, and any parent would be proud to have them as children. Kathy Griffin and BRAVO ought to be ashamed of themselves.”
Below the report on Sen. Brown’s response from Boston’s WCVB ABC 5 (for which Brown’s wife, Gail Huff, worked for 17 years before getting a reporting job in DC):
