"SNIP.......

Joe Rogan has responded to a resurfaced clip of him using the N-word almost two dozen times while hosting his wildly popular podcast, the New York Post reports

He called the clip “the most regretful and shameful thing I’ve ever had to talk about publicly.”

He added: “It looks fucking horrible. Even to me.”

.......SNIP"

to be the most objectionable and indefensible thing I've heard him say, and he offered quite a selection to choose from. I'd like to hear him explain that one.

From the linked Page six article in the OP.

The podcaster went on to address a clip of him referring to a black neighborhood as “Planet of the Apes,” after being dropped off to see the movie with friends in Philadelphia.

“I was trying to make the story entertaining,” Rogan claimed. “I did not, nor did I ever say that black people are apes, but it sure f–king sounded like that.”

“It wasn’t a racist story, but it sounded terrible.”


I'd like him to try and explain the below clip.



Joe Rogan to a guest who said he has a Black dad and a white mom:

“Powerful combination genetic wise. Right? You get the body of the Black man and then you get the mind of the white man altogether in some strange combination.”

“Black people” have “a different brain.”

and fill that void in far right hate radio alongside Hannity that screams white nationalism, white power, antisemitism and misogyny, sprinkled with a daily boatload of republican domestic terrorists talking points.

are two new shows that many of the ex Limbaugh stations have added - Clay Travis & Buck Sexton, or alternatively Dan Bongino. The New Yorker recently had a long article, https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/01/03/dan-bongino-and-the-big-business-of-returning-trump-to-power" target="_blank">Dan Bongino and the Big Business of Returning Trump to Power.
