Joe Rogan accused of 'fearmongering' as he questions how far away US is from ‘another JFK-type situation’

AUSTIN, TEXAS: Joe Rogan questioned the possibility of a political assassination in the United States while weighing in on the recent presidential elections in Mexico.

On the Wednesday, June 6 episode of his podcast 'Joe Rogan Experience', he commented on the numerous assassinations prior to the presidential elections in the neighboring country that elected its first female president, Claudia Sheinbaum.

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe joined the podcast episode where Rogan said Mexico was a "crack house on fire," referring to the assassinations of 37 candidates ahead of the June 2 election, according to Mediaite.

Joe Rogan wonders about possibility of political assassinations in the US

Talking about the Mexico presidential election, the commentator said, "That's our neighbor. We live next to a f*****g crack house," to which Hinchcliffe added, "That's on fire!"

Rogan also took an insulting swipe at the first female president of the nation when he said, laughing, "A crack house on fire run by a Jew…a first lady, a first lady."

The podcaster then wondered if political assassinations could return to the United States ahead of the presidential election.

"How far away are we from seeing another JFK-type situation?" Rogan asked, referring to the assassination of President John F Kennedy in 1963. "Could be close. It seems like there's a candidate that the government really doesn't want in," Hinchcliffe weighed in.

Rogan agreed, indicating that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump could be that person. However, he did not directly name the former president but cited the standing ovation he received at the UFC match recently.

A day after his guilty verdict in the hush money case, Trump appeared at the Ultimate Fighting Championship match at the Prudential Center in Newark on June 1. The massive crowd welcomed him with a thunderous applause.

The podcaster claimed that Trump's conviction in the criminal case would only increase his popularity.

"So many rappers are showing support for Trump now, it's crazy," Rogan said. "Because now he's got a felony… and now they know he's getting trapped by the system just like everybody's been rapping about, getting trapped by the system, this bullshit system."

On May 30, Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.

The former president, who at present is referred to as a "convicted felon" by the Democrats and Joe Biden allies, frequently accused the criminal case was politically motivated.

Internet slams Joe Rogan

Netizens slammed the podcaster for questioning the chances of a JFK-type assassination in the US as it heads for a crucial election in November.

One user commented below the Mediaite article, "Joe just stop and don't start fear mongering like a punk. Let's see, don't think Oswald was a Mexican or from Mexico, and of course Surhan Surhan was a muslim from the middle east."

Another remarked, "Sadly, the country is going to have to endure a decade of these Trump apologist clowns using every excuse in the book for the orange imbecile."

"MAGA influencers sre trying to get their morons to commit political assassinations and then will claim they were just asking questions," added a user.

One response read, "Joe Rogan is how the US ends up in an Idiocracy type situation."

Someone else said, "So, Rogaine is once again tacitly pushing for assassination? The Reich Wing's lovable loser at it again."

An individual wrote, "'A crack house on fire run by a Jew…a first lady, a first lady,' Rogan said, laughing.' This should tell you what kind a person Joe Rogan is. Unfortunately, many of his followers do not and will blindly accept what he said."

"Rogan is throwing the suggestion out there. Let's see if some right wing nutjob tries it," a user wrote on Facebook.
