Kathy Griffin is receiving backlash Wednesday after a political tweet that some social media watchdogs say is “threatening.”

When she stated that if Americans want to survive a fatal historical throwback, they should vote red in the upcoming election, she plunged herself into the searing flames of Twitter.

“If you don’t want a Civil War, vote for Democrats in November. If you do want Civil War, vote Republican,” 61-year-old Griffin wrote, starting a viral argument in the comments.

People were outraged by her statements, which sparked a variety of responses from others.

“This is WRONG. Crazy Hollywood Leftie threatening ‘Civil War’ if Dems don’t win. Sadly, this is today’s Left: angry, hateful & violent,” US Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tweeted.

In response, Christian author Jeremy Kappell offered his comments.: “The inherent message here couldn’t be more clear. If you don’t vote Democrat, there will be war. King George III had a similar message for the colonists just prior to our Independence. Don’t be bullied by Hollywood Propagandists.”

“SICK. @kathygriffin threatens a Civil War if people choose to vote Republican. Will Twitter suspend? This is the same person who promoted violence against Trump by holding a bloody mockup of his head,” Yossi Gestetner said, referring to the 2017 photo of Griffin posing with a ketchup-smeared effigy of former President Donald Trump’s head.

“Sooo… Kathy Griffin is now threatening a Civil War on behalf of Democrats if Republicans win… got it,” writer Tim Young said.

In a follow-up tweet, Kathy Griffin said: “You guys. The maga blue checks are at it again. Because they are constantly threatening Civil War, they are now trying to suggest that I am the one who is threatening a Civil War. Because you know, that’s my thing.”

Some people agreed with her. “People purposefully misconstruing what Kathy Griffin tweeted is so 2022,” one person said. “She means that Reps WANT civil war and Dems don’t. It’s not a threat, it’s an observation.”

“MAGA Republicans are riled up because Kathy Griffin pointed them out for being domestic terrorists and now they’re playing the victim card insisting she’s calling for civil war,” one user wrote, while another chimed in.: “A lot of the people who said not to give a s–t about what Kathy Griffin says, are suddenly giving massive s—s about what Kathy Griffin said. Good for her.”
