Griffin's 'New Year's Eve Live' co-host also tweeted that he found the display 'disgusting,'




"I caption this 'there was blood coming out of his eyes, blood coming out of his ... wherever,'" Griffin wrote on her Twitter account when she shared the video of her photo shoot, making a reference to Trump's comments toward Megyn Kelly during the Republican presidential debates.
