Kathy Griffin is still feeling the aftershocks from her pic with a fake bloody Donald Trump head -- 2 more venues have canceled her shows.

Griffin's Celebrity Run-In Tour gig at St. George Theatre in Staten Island on November 2 has been axed ... and the State Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ pulled the plug on her November 3 show.

Both venues posted their decisions to cancel online and will be issuing full refunds to ticket buyers.

St. George Theatre says ... "Ms. Griffin’s recent actions have severely inhibited our ability to fulfill our mission as a non-profit theatre serving the Staten Island community." Jersey's State Theatre also cited safety concerns.

This makes 5 shows officially canceled on Kathy's tour ... Route 66 Casino in Albuquerque nixed her show Wednesday and 2 California venues followed.

Bergen PAC in NJ -- the venue for her November 4 show -- tells TMZ it's been flooded by negative calls ... but has not made a final decision yet on whether her show will go on.

This should happen. It does not matter if you are right or left on the political spectrum if you go too far it should hurt you. That is why there are limits. She went too far and now she has to pay.

This. There's a line you just don't cross and we are lucky to live somewhere you can openly dislike -- even mock and imitate -- the president. What point did that even make? Clearly nothing that the vast majority of democrats didn't immediately disavow. That was shameful.

It wasn't a joke, it was just her showing how much she hates Trump. There was no comedy involved. that's why no one is laughing.

no that confirms the theory

the theory states that each side will do the opposite of the other, which is basically the same thing

you: upset milo canceled, happy griffin canceled
person on other side: happy milo canceled, upset griffin canceled

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory

republicans in 2008: Obama is terrible, lets stifle him!
democrats in 2008: We need to join together, both parties, put aside differences!

republicans in 2017: We need to join together, both parties, put aside differences!
democrats in 2017: Trump is terrible, lets stifle him!

misread your post tbqh. I thought you said, "what people are" at the start of it

The horseshoe theory doesn't apply here though. I'm a moderate and I don't support either side. Griffin just crossed the line.

I was okay with Milo being cancelled and I am just fine with Kathy being cancelled. I wasn't okay with Ted Nugent saying that shit he said (no opinion on the dummy thing, because I've only heard about that on CE the past few days....because I don't actively follow Ted Nugent).

Both sides act like children and like to pretend that their side is so superior while completely ignoring all signs that show they are the exact same.

Yea I have no problem with Milo, Kathy, Spencer, etc being cancelled in context. As far as Kathy goes she went too far and these venues or cities are allowed to distance themselves. Not to mention the many boycotts that's would ensue aren't worth the time and money lost. Milo and Spencer have radical ideas and no one private venue or organization has to let them speak.

When did conservatives decide that this was the line that nobody can cross when it comes to jokes? I'm genuinely curious. Milo certainly didn't seem to give a shit when his followers were making death threats towards people he antagonized.

If this is a line people want to draw that's great. I'm pretty tired of death threats on social media being sent to people.
