WASHINGTON, DC: Joe Rogan has finally revealed his true political side after being called a “coward” for interviewing Donald Trump on his ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ podcast.

Even though he has supported Bernie Sanders in 2020, people are still confused about which side he belongs to.

The podcaster recently appeared on an episode with fellow comedians and podcast host Triggernometry, where he called himself a “politically homeless person,” as reported by Whiskey Riff.



 

Joe Rogan says people assume he’s ‘right-wing MAGA guy’

He said, “Just because of my appearance, there’s always been this assumption that I’m some right-wing MAGA guy. I was a Bernie supporter. I’m a politically homeless person, for sure.”

Elaborating further, Rogan shared, "I never thought I would ever vote right-win, but then the tides of culture shifted in a very bizarre way. And it just made me over time much more aware of what this stuff is really all about."

“Because what this stuff is really all about is just these natural human behavior patterns and these tribal instincts that we have, and it overpowers all discussions. It overpowers what’s good for the collective group. It overpowers everything.”

Joe Rogan feels liberals have changed since he was kid

Joe Rogan explained why he did not want to call himself a liberal now.

“If you look at what’s going on with the liberals right now, progressives, they want the war in Ukraine to be funded, they want to censor speech online, and they want to give the World Health Organization, which is deeply influenced by big pharma, including the FDA. Deeply influenced,” he stated.

He claimed that the FDA and pharmaceutical drug companies are controlling people. “They want to give them control over what we take and what we don’t take, and that’s crazy. And that doesn’t make sense because that’s not what the liberals were when I was a kid,” he asserted.

Joe Rogan talks about losing perspective

Giving a little background of himself, Joe Rogan mentioned, “My parents were hippies. We lived in San Francisco during the Vietnam War. My parents were like straight up hippies, that’s how I was raised."

“So for me it was always like, the liberals were the ones who wanted education and open-mindedness,” he added.

Rogan also shared his views on the social media effect on politics: “When they had the power over social media and these collective groups of people that all had that same ideology, and then that tribal mentality kicks in and you lose the perspective that you should have as an educated person that recognizes that everyone has to be able to talk, and we have to figure out who’s right. And you might be wrong.”
