Nikki Glaser Backs Off Political Jokes

Nikki Glaser told reporters that she does think twice now before doing political jokes — including those at Donald Trump, Deadline reports.

Said Glaser: “Like, you just are scared that you’re gonna get doxxed and death threats or who knows where this leads, like, detained. Honestly that’s not even like a joke. It’s like a real fear. So it’s unfortunate that that’s true, but I’m not gonna lie and say I don’t think about that sometimes and go, ‘Oh, god. Can I just say, I hope they all know, I can be up on the gallows and say I was just joking. I’m a comedian.’ I hope that that’s a defense.”
