‘What an Idiot’: Kathy Griffin Tells Chris Matthews Trump’s ‘Crazy’ After Speech

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews invited Kathy Griffin on late tonight to react to President Trump‘s address to Congress. She didn’t like having to “watch this idiot for an hour and nine minutes” say “one hateful thing after another.”

She particularly remarked upon the “audacity” for Trump to make all sorts of promises on health care when there are people––many of whom support him––who’ll lose coverage if Obamacare is repealed.

Griffin also told Matthews, “I’m a big resister and I don’t believe in compromise with this president. I also think he’s crazy, I think he’s mentally ill. He’s also an idiot.”

She added a mention of Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, which in part says the following:

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
