Letters: Kathy Griffin crossed the line with Trump

Isn’t it a violation of federal law for people to imply that they would like to see the president dead?

Kathy Griffin should be arrested for her disgusting photograph and video of a bloodied imitation of President Trump’s decapitated head. The heck with apologies that she made only when people thought what she did was horrible.

Was she afraid her ratings would drop? Kudos to CNN for dropping her from the New Year’s Eve show she has been doing with Anderson Cooper for years. I urge the rest of her employers to do the same.

Comedy has limits. She crossed the line big time.
