The Right used the image as an example of liberal hypocrisy, talking about love while showing intolerance and hate. The Left used the image to emphasize the point that it's not OK when conservatives cross the line with thinly veiled threats to Obama and Clinton (and they've gone there, multiple times), so it's not OK to do the same to Trump.
Here are some reactions to Griffin's photo shoot:
For the record, I am appalled by the photo shoot Kathy Griffin took part in. It is clearly disgusting and completely inappropriate.

Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!

Disgusting but not surprising. This is the left today. They consider this acceptable. Imagine a conservative did this to Obama as POTUS? https://t.co/QdghcbIjS7

It wasn't right when peoplel hung lynched Obama effigies, just as what Kathy Griffin did isn't right now.

This is vile and wrong. It is never funny to joke about killing a president. https://t.co/zIiuKoMyFw

Thanks, Kathy Griffin, but I really wasn't looking for common ground with Trumpists in support of an ignorant, lying, traitorous, goon thug.

This Kathy Griffin thing is so upsetting and disgusting. Jesus--what is wrong with people today? Have we lost all our humanity?
