Comedian Amy Schumer recalled the backlash she faced after she asked a crowd at her show in 2016 why they were going to vote for Donald Trump, and admitted doing so “did hurt my bank account.”

Schumer said it’s always been a trial and error thing for her on stage, noting how she found that in Florida in 2016, just asking her audience who they were going to vote for was enough to lose some of the crowd.
