Kathy Griffin Reacts to Trump's Emergency Plane Landing—'Ugh. So close'Kathy Griffin has shared her reaction to the news that a plane transporting former President Donald Trump was recently forced to make an emergency landing.
After taking off from New Orleans en route to Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, the plane was hit with engine failure over the Gulf of Mexico, forcing the pilot to return to the Louisiana city shortly after taking off, according to the Washington Post.
Griffin, who faced backlash after posing with the severed head of an effigy of Trump in 2017, responded to the Post's article on the incident on Wednesday, when she tweeted: "Ugh. So close."
Her comment attracted a stream of comments that appeared to support her sentiment about Trump, who had traveled to New Orleans to speak at a private event attended by some of the Republican Party's top donors, per the Post.
According to the report, Trump had been traveling on a donor's plane. The New York native is said to have been eventually transported home to Florida hours later on another donor's plane.
Newsweek has contacted a representative of Trump for comment.
Griffin's comment about Trump comes after years of her criticism of the one-term Republican president. She has said previously that her decision to pose with a severed head, styled to resemble the real estate mogul, damaged her career.
Trump himself was a prominent voice in the backlash against Griffin, writing on Twitter back in 2017: "Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11-year-old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick."
The gory image, which was taken by celebrity photographer Tyler Shields, sparked widespread outcry, leading to comedian Griffin issuing a public apology.
"I sincerely apologize," she said in a video posted to social media in May 2017. "I am just now seeing the reaction of these images… I went way too far. The image is too disturbing. I understand how it offends people. It wasn't funny. I get it."
