The photo, which was released on Tuesday, features the star holding up a gory replica of a decapitated Donald Trump head. The provocative shot drew an immediate reaction, especially from conservative commentators on Twitter, though some of Griffin's fans and liberal figures like Chelsea Clinton also took offense. Though she initially defended the shoot, Griffin apologized for the photos in an Instagram video on Wednesday. In the short video, she offers a sincere apology for the photos and shares that she's asked the photographer to take them down.
