Comedian Nikki Glaser raised alarms about the Trump administration on Wednesday, saying she could be targeted because of her political views and bringing up a recent example to illustrate her point.

Speaking at an event hosted by Time magazine, Glaser said she was more critical of Trump than usual at a recent show in Canada, as she usually holds back in the U.S. to not alienate fans who might disagree with her politics.

However, she then got worried she could get backlash as a result: "Oh My god, what if what I said gets recorded and sent out, maybe I could not be let back into the country," Glasser said, illustrating her fear with an experience lived by a fellow comedian.

"I have a friend, Jena Friedman, who posted on Instagram that she was performing in Vancouver and when she came back customs asked her what she did. She said she was a comedian and they asked her if she talked about politics and made fun of the president," Glaser recalled. "

"They let her go, but they asked. I'm not trying to be an alarmist but I definitely don't think that I am immune to having some kind of backlash or that i could be put on some kind of list because of some story I reposted," she added. "Look at others places that have dictators. you're not allowed to say bad things about them."

The comedian went on to joke about being sexually attracted to Trump to get on his good side. "I don't know what you're laughing about," she told the audience. "I'm 100% real about this and it will save me when I'm on the gallows."
