As social media blowback builds from some over Independent Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ decision to promote a video of comic and podcast host Joe Rogan endorsing his candidacy for president, an old clip featuring Rogan comparing a black neighborhood with the fictional Planet of the Apes has surfaced.

In addition, a clip of a 2013 Rogan podcast has begun to circulate, in which he talks about going to see a Planet of the Apes movie in a black neighborhood. He tells his co-hosts that the driver assured him that the film was playing in a “good neighborhood.”

“We get out, we’re giggling, ‘We’re going to go see Planet of the Apes,’ We walk in to Planet of the Apes. We walked into Africa,” Rogan says in the clip.

And I'd thought the biggest problems with the Rogan endorsement were that Rogan had previously endorsed Ron Paul and Gary Johnson for president, in 2012 and 2016, and urged Tulsi Gabbard to run for president.
