Joe Rogan Blasts “Homophobic” Republicans: “I’m a Bleeding Heart Liberal”
Joe Rogan is not happy about being associated with the conservative brand, as he explained on the July 23rd episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, going on a tirade about “homophobic” Republicans and adding, “I’m a bleeding heart liberal when it comes to a lot of shit.” To be fair, Rogan has always been more about vibes than policy. He endorsed Bernie Sanders for 2020, saying, “I’m a Bernie Sanders supporter. I’m a Tulsi Gabbard supporter,” somehow simultaneously admiring perhaps the most liberal and most conservative Dems. When Sanders dropped out, Rogan said that he’d “rather vote for Trump than Biden,” though he later admitted that he didn’t vote for either. Now, he’s increasingly uneasy about a Republican party that has undergone a violent rightward shift. It goes beyond overtu...

After a venue in Minnesota decided not to host the Washington, D.C. native, another venue took up the slack and the show went on. As Variety reports, Chappelle shocked guests at Rock and Hart’s joint comedy show at the famed MSG venue and naturally railed against cancel culture a...
