Comedian Kathy Griffin warned her fans on Tuesday that they may have one last chance to see her comedy show before President-elect Donald Trump allegedly locks her up in a camp after his inauguration.
Griffin made the remarks while promoting her touring comedy show, “My Life on the PTSD-List,” on Chicago’s WGN radio.
The comedian, known for her controversial antics, referenced her past struggles with travel after being placed on the “no-fly list” following the backlash from a photo she posted in 2017.

She described how her ability to travel had been restricted in the aftermath of the incident but noted that she was now able to fly again.
However, Griffin expressed concerns that her situation could take a turn for the worse as Trump prepares to return to office. “Come see me before I’m in one of those internment camps,” Griffin said during the radio interview.
She went on to claim, “I’m on the enemies list. That’s very obvious.” While her remarks were tongue-in-cheek, it was unclear whether Griffin genuinely believed Trump would imprison her or if she was attempting to generate attention for her comedy tour.
Kathy Griffin says she is scared Trump has put her on an “enemies list” while suggesting she could be sent to an “internment camp.”

Griffin continued, explaining her perception of Trump’s response to her 2017 stunt. “He was very, very scared when I did a parody photo of him and a Halloween mask and a lot of ketchup. And he brings up my name every chance he gets,” she said.
Despite Griffin’s statements, there is no indication that President Trump has ever suggested implementing internment camps for his political opponents, making her claims appear more aimed at stirring controversy rather than reflecting reality.
The comedian also reminisced about her earlier interactions with Trump, recalling her time on the Bravo network while Trump was still a part of NBC’s “The Apprentice.” “At the time, you know, most of us just thought he was kind of a harmless buffoon, but when he says he’s going to build camps for his enemies list, he may not be kidding,” Griffin said.
She added, “So, you know, I’ve got my antenna up, but I’m not going anywhere. I have four doggies. I have a great group of friends. And I love it here.”
Despite her claims of being on an “enemies list,” no action has been taken by Trump or his administration to target Griffin or other critics.
Griffin’s career took a significant hit following the infamous “beheaded Trump” photo, which prompted widespread backlash, a Secret Service investigation, and public condemnation.
She later claimed that the incident caused her to lose a substantial portion of her audience. “I permanently lost at least one-third of my audience as a result,” Griffin said.
However, she also insisted that her devotion to the country remains strong, citing her performances for U.S. military personnel in Uzbekistan, Iraq, and Afghanistan. “Don’t tell me I’m not a patriot, darn it,” Griffin asserted.
While Griffin’s anti-Trump rhetoric continues, her career has struggled to regain its previous momentum.
Nevertheless, her recent comments and tour promotion suggest that she remains committed to her brand of controversy and satire, regardless of the consequences.
