For example, Norm Macdonald, formerly of “Saturday Night Live,” took to Twitter to question the logistics of Griffin’s display:

Macdonald questioned Griffin’s setup:
In the picture, Trump is conveyed as a victim a la Daniel Pearl, while @kathygriffin is portrayed as a pitiless ISIS killer.

“In the picture, Trump is conveyed as a victim a la Daniel Pearl, while [Griffin] is portrayed as a pitiless ISIS killer,” he tweeted. “Shouldn’t the President have been the killer holding [Griffin’s] head and brandishing a rusty coat hanger. Still odious but makes sense?”
If you're trying to make a point,@kathygriffin,think one through that, in any way, makes sense. I pray the blood on your hands remains fake.

“If you’re trying to make a point, [Griffin], think one through that, in any way, makes sense. I pray the blood on your hands remains fake,” he finished.
