During her tearful press conference Friday, Kathy Griffin compared her photo holding abloody Donald Trump headto Ted Nugents past comments that many interpreted as themusician joking about killingthe presidents predecessor.

In 2012, Nugent said, We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their [the Obama administrations] heads off in November. He also said, If Barack Obama becomes the next president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.

The musician called The Fox News Specialists on Friday to address Griffins comparison and defend his past statements.

On the idea that Griffins actions toward Trump and his concerning Obama were similar, he said, Its absolutely false.

Nugent said the Secret Service had looked into the matter. They concluded, absolutely conclusively, I did not threaten anybodys life, he said. According to the musician,Kathy Griffin and the whole left just repeat the lie that he threatened the presidents life.

Never happened, Nugent said.

Co-host Eboni Williams pressed Nugent on what he meant by comments made during a 2007 onstage rant, where he reportedly said, Obama, hes a piece of shit. I told him to suck on my machine gun. Hey Hillary, you might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch.

Nugent said in the Griffin situation, Trump and his family are just reacting to her vile actions, while his statement was just an outrageous metaphor.

Its good to see that everyone is condemning Kathy Griffins action, because it is nasty, he said. This is a world of terrorism where beheading is a reality.

Were talking apples and grenades here. I did nothing to harm anyone, he added. She came out with this symbolism that was truly vile.

So just to be clear, Nugent concludes that Griffinsunacceptable actions do notfall under the control of free speech. But hes totally cool with telling someone to suck on a machine gun. Thats just metaphor.
