GWAR Responds To Kathy Griffin’s Donald Trump Photo – “We Did It First”

Posted on by

Comedian Kathy Griffin made headlines this week by posting a picture of herself holding up a bloody head resembling that of President Donald Trump. After receiving a ton a backlash for the photo, Kathy has since apologized, but that didn’t stop her from losing fans, and her New Year’s Eve job at CNN. Obviously free speech isn’t tolerated in mainstream media as it is in our scene, because since his election, artists like Brujeria, Puscifer, and many others, have made their opinions quite clear about Trump.

The first group to express their hatred of the new President was, not surprisingly, the almighty GWAR. They’ve “murdered” several Presidents at their shows over the years, and that includes Donald Trump. After seeing all of the backlash that Kathy received for her photo, Beefcake the Mighty took to Facebook last night to call out Kathy Griffin, and remind everyone who did it first.

After six years with the possible killer of Morgan Harrington, the Virginia Tech student and Metallica fan who disappeared following a Metallica concert in 2009 and was found murdered in January 2010, may have justice for their child.
According to CNN, prosecutors revealed that a grand jury has indicted Jesse L. Matthew and charged him with first-degree murder and abduction with the intent to defile in relation to Harrington’s case. Investigators believe that Matthew, a former cab driver, was also the last person to see Graham before she went missing. Matthew was expected to appear in court to face the charges in the Harrington case on Wednesday. Prosecutors did not detail what evidence led them to pursue charges against Matthew in the Harrington case.

 

Metallica got involved with the search for Morgan within days following her disappearance, offering up a reward for anyone with information about the whereabouts of Harrington. They remained consistent with their support in the intervening years in the search for Morgan and her killer. The band allowed ‘Enter Sandman’ to be used on Virginia Tech t-shirts that were used to start a Morgan Harrington Scholarship Fund at the university.

 

Gil Harrington, Morgan’s mother, told CNN affiliate WDBJ:

“That the person responsible will be brought to justice, there’s a lot of satisfaction in that. Something as heinous as taking someone’s life should have consequences. Today, finally, the domino cascade of consequences for Jesse Matthew for killing Morgan Harrington has started.”
