No Peace: Kathy Griffin Reignites Feud with Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper Over Minnesota ICE Protests

8 long years of silence didn't lead to a white flag, but to a sharper call-to-arms. Comedian Kathy Griffin has officially reignited her legendary feud with Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper. In a new video, she didn't just rehash personal grievances; she accused the media powerhouses of using their "white male privilege" to ignore the escalating crisis in Minnesota.

The Kathy Griffin Andy Cohen Feud 2026: From Beef to Political Accountability

On January 20, 2026, the 65-year-old Emmy winner released a segment of her 'Talk Your Head Off' series. Griffin claimed she's "putting aside" her issues with Cohen and Cooper, but only to demand they use their massive microphones to amplify the death of Renee Nicole Good, a Minnesota mother killed by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).

Griffin specifically targeted Anderson Cooper, reminding him of his days covering the Arab Spring. She asked why he isn't "boots on the ground" in Minnesota, arguing that his identity as a gay man makes him a future target for the same forces currently occupying the state. Turning to Andy Cohen, she implored him to dedicate one minute of every 'Watch What Happens Live' episode to the situation.

Reclaiming the 2017 Trump Controversy

The feud, which began with Griffin's infamous 2017 photo of a bloodied Donald Trump mask, has taken a new turn. While Cohen previously labeled the incident a "fiasco," Griffin now stands by it as a "reborn" symbol of early resistance. She criticized both men for feeling too safe in their privilege, warning that the LGBTQ+ community is "next" on the political chopping block.
