Comedian Cristela Alonzo: I Had Jokes About Trump in 2016, They Told Me Not To Do Them Because They Didn’t Think Trump Would Win

EXCERPT:

ALONZO: “You know, the first special I shot in August of 2016, my very first special, and I had jokes about Trump and they told me not to do them because they said, well, he’s not going to win. And I thought, no, it’s important to have those jokes even if he doesn’t win, because it’s — it shows a snapshot of where we are in this time. My second special, I was going to shoot around my birthday. The same — my birthday is on January 6th. That January 6th was when I was going to shoot my second special. I ended up getting Covid. I moved it. The third one I shot on June 14th, which is No Kings Day. So this man has followed me the entire time that he’s been running.”
