LOS ANGELES—In a move political scholars are calling “the most significant reconciliation since the Suez Crisis,” comedian Kathy Griffin has stunned the nation by announcing that she not only has Trump-supporting friends, but has appointed herself as America’s official Unifier-in-Chief. Years after her infamous 2017 photo shoot featuring a mock-severed Trump head sent her career into a tailspin, Griffin now claims she has “healed the divide with the very people who once threatened to pelt me with trucker hats.”

“I was shocked,” said 42-year-old MAGA enthusiast and newfound Griffin pal, Chet Dunwoody, during a joint fondue night livestream. “After seeing that photo, I thought Kathy was pure evil. Turns out, she just makes a killer seven-layer dip and hates kale as much as I do.”

Griffin, who revealed plans for her ‘Bloody Photo Forgiveness Tour’ in a tearful Instagram Live, described her journey as “equal parts awkward potluck and intense group therapy.” “I figured if Nixon could go to China, I could go to an Applebee’s in Bakersfield with Steve from my DMs,” Griffin told her 2.1 million Twitter followers. “Turns out, forgiveness pairs beautifully with boneless wings.”

Conservative commentator Brenda Lawless praised Griffin’s evolution: “If Kathy and my uncle Randy can listen to an entire Joe Rogan episode together without hurling utensils, maybe world peace is achievable.”

At press time, Griffin was seen exchanging recipes with a QAnon cosplayer, promising that her next act of unity will involve “a tasteful photo with a bipartisan balloon animal.”
