Yep, she laughed at everyone and everything, including herself.
“I am both saddened and disappointed that my statement about the tragedy of civilian casualties was totally taken out of context,” the post said. “What I said and stand behind is, war is hell and unfortunately civilians are victims of political conflicts. We, The United States, certainly know this as 69 years later we still feel the guilt of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The media, as usual, has decided to only quote the most out of context and inflammatory non sequitur rather than giving an accurate account of what my intentions were behind the statement. Along with every other sane person in this world, I am praying for peace. It is stupid and wrong and I am tired of bearing the brunt of attacks by people who want to sell newspapers or gain ratings by creating a scandal about me that is non-existent.”
In 2013, she also fielded controversy when she said of German supermodel Heidi Klum that “the last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into the ovens.” She defended the joke to CNN, saying “It’s a joke, No. 1. No. 2, it is about the Holocaust. This is the way I remind people about the Holocaust. I do it through humor.”
