Rogan has always made it a point to caveat his own statements by calling himself a “moron” or a “dumbass,” but someone with a platform the size of Rogan’s vast media empire probably shouldn’t be that upset over reading his own words, no matter how “idiotic” they may be. The MMA commentator and Ivermectin ingester has a generally clean track record of admitting his own mistakes — he even walked back the litter box comment — but he’s rarely had to confront his own confusing statements on any platform other than his safe space at The Joe Rogan Experience.
Anthony’s last tweet refers to Rogan’s recent defense of his friend and frequent guest Elon Musk against the entirely reasonable and evidence-based assertion that the Twitter CEO has turned into a conservative mouthpiece. In spite of the fact that Musk directly instructed his Twitter followers to vote for Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections, Rogan railed against those who call his friend a “right-winger,” on a recent episode of JRE, saying, “How? What are you saying? What examples do you have? Like, they don’t have an example. They just have this narrative that reached them as a signal. Like, ‘Elon bad now.’”
Now we want Saturday Night Live to give Rogan the Sarah Palin treatment and write a sketch where they simply repeat the things he says on his podcast word-for-word — with Rogan playing himself.
