Donald Trump has said that Kathy Griffin should be 'ashamed of herself' after she posted a photo with a bloodied replica of the U.S. President 's decapitated head.
Branding the comedian 'sick', the president tweeted, "Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!"
Earlier, Griffin had issued an apology on Twitter after facing a terrific backlash for the stunt.
"I sincerely apologize," Griffin said in 31-second video posted to Twitter.
"Hey everybody, it's me, Kathy Griffin. I sincerely apologize. I'm just now seeing the reaction of these images. I'm a comic, I crossed the line. I move the line then I cross it. I went way too far. The image is too disturbing, I understand how it offends people. It wasn't funny. I get it. I've made a lot of mistakes in my career, I will continue. I ask for your forgiveness. Taking down the image. I'm going to ask the photographer to take down the image. And I beg for your forgiveness. I went too far. I made a mistake and I was wrong," she said.
