The Joke That Sparked Death Threats For Arynne Wexler

Conservative comic shares why one club banned her, sight unseen.


Arynne Wexler’s web site shares her mission: “Saying out loud what you’re too afraid to think.” 

That’s why she draws a crowd. And, sometimes, quite a bit more.

The conservative comic consistently goes viral for her routines, be it crowd work smackdowns or stand-up gags. She’s fearless.

That matters. It also puts a target on her.

One particular joke made that a literal statement. Wexler shared the fallout from an immigration bit with “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show” last week.

Wexler said she was shocked that another joke from her repertoire drew little outrage. She has compared Muslims to pit bulls, suggesting the majority of both groups aren’t violent, but …

She didn’t get blowback from pit bull owners from that routine. Instead, she heard positive feedback from dog owners.

The one that sparked the death threats?

She was at the White House in the spring of 2025 as part of an influencer gathering. She got some face time with spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt, and she opened with the riff that caused a kerfuffle. Leavitt brought up President Donald Trump’s work with deportations and securing the southern border.

That gave Wexler an opening.

“Everyone laughed,” she recalled. “I leave the room and my phone is blowing up … I’m getting so many death threats in my Instagram, to my web site. I was put in touch with the FBI because I was getting so many threats over it … over that joke.'”

“And I put [the gag] on Instagram because I can’t help myself,” she added.

    1. I thought it was hilarious also, Toot.
      I wouldn't ever want to be in a vehicle with a driver who couldn't speak English. Hell, I can barely get in a vehicle unless I'm driving. My wife loves that about me.
