(2,657 posts)26. Joe Rogan Torn Apart After Bernie Sanders Endorsement: "Sexist Bigot"

Can Bernie Sanders control who supports him? No, he cannot. However, the Bernie Sanders Campaign does not have to post Joe Rogan's endorsement on its campaign page like it is proud of it. Joe Rogan is scum. The Sanders campaign should not have him on its endorsement page. They should remove his name and then move on.
"I think I'll probably vote for Bernie," said Rogan on his show. "Hes been insanely consistent his entire life. Hes basically been saying the same thing, been for the same thing his whole life. And that in and of itself is a very powerful structure to operate from."
Quickly becoming the top trending topic on Twitter, searches for Joe Rogan shot up extraordinarily last night with a number of critics, especially feminists and women, pointing out that Rogan's ideals don't exactly stand in line with what Bernie Sanders has been preaching. "Joe Rogan also had friendly interviews with Milo Yiannopolous & Jordan Peterson, yelled 'you're a fucking man' on-air about a trans woman, vocally argued against allowing trans kids puberty blockers THIS YEAR, says 'f*g,' and believes the world is stacked against men, so. Enjoy," wrote journalist Sady Doyle. "Joe Rogan is a sexist bigot, who regularly gives a platform to the alt right to sell his anger and hate," said another critic.
Bernie Sanders has acknowledged the endorsement, posting about it to his campaign page, which equally angered his supporters.

"More votes for us" is always a convincing argument for me if it is not sacrificing principles

If you are an independent in this climate, I highly doubt your values clearly align with mine

Some might say that Goldman Sachs, and other large Wall Street players are "unsavory" as well

Like Trump voters will vote for a Socialist because a podcast guy endorsed him.
