Nikki Glaser says she fears getting death threats or detained over political humor

Nikki Glaser said that she is thinking twice about performing political jokes, including those about President Donald Trump, over fears of getting death threats or being detained.

The comedian was at the gala for the 26th Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., on Sunday to celebrate honoree Conan O’Brien.

But the mood took a more serious turn when she opened up on the red carpet about her concerns with using political humor, according to Deadline.

“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," Glaser told reporters.

"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 ... I can be up on the gallows and say, 'I was just joking. I’m a comedian.’ I hope that that’s a defense.”

Oh that poor thing. I guess she was in a coma during the Biden/Harris Administration. The jokes wrote themselves.

And as we’ve learned too often from the past the left isn’t above posing as conservatives and threatening their fellow travelers in order to use it as political leverage against us. Whatever Nikki. You need to worry about the folks on the left than people on our side of the political aisle.

Its funny, Minneapolis and Seattle burn and yet its white supremacists that are the threat. Wisconsin and Tennessee capitals are overrun as well as the white house and Seattle court houses. But its the j6th people who are terrorists. Glaser just figured out that half of America doesn’t find her jokes funny. And she thinks those are the people sending her death threats while Teslas burn. It seems that violence comes from the left. But hoaxes are aimed at the right.

Nikki Glaser is a disgusting skank.

She is hardly worth paying any attention too unless you like to hear a loose living whore talk about her sexual exploits like one might talk about the weather.

Hopefully she does not drive a Tesla or she would be in danger.

Well said. The left is in its usual frenzy of violence now that a Republican is President, but conservatives are dangerous.

Come on Nikki.
You’re very good at your craft. Knock it off.
Her Tom Brady roast was very good. Some things were over the top. That being said she has good timing and easy on the eyes.
Too bad.

Remember about 20 years ago when the rodeo clown doing Obama stuff got abused for doing it?

This stuff STARTED with a democrat that nobody was allowed to make fun of, or it was RASSSISSS!

I remember that. Don’t even THINK about making fun of Obama and his ears, or they would pay the consequences!

Nonsense.

This is a variant of the left's psychological projection ploy that they continue to beat to death.

However, I'll wager this brain fart is the pinnacle of Nikki Glaser's comedy gold, otherwise unremarkable, career.

True. More imaginary victimology. I think they all took Pearl Clutching 101 to get their degrees.
