Joe Rogan has landed in hot water after using anti-Semitic slurs on his popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience.
The host of a recent show with Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti made a remark about how Jewish people aren’t interested in money and then called it “stupid.” He also made a snide remark about Italians disliking pizza, calling it “fu*king dumb.”
All of this follows Rogan’s remarks on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s 2019 tweet claiming that Israel’s supporters in the US were motivated solely by money, in which he stated:
“This is insane. Did you notice him standing next to Ilhan Omar, who is apologizing for saying it’s all about the money? It’s all about the money. She’s talking about money. In my opinion, that is not an anti-Semitic remark. “Benjamins are money.”
Following the announcement, Krystal Ball believed Omar should have apologized for his post, saying:
“But can’t you speak about the power of money in DC? I mean, there’s a very obvious reason why Israel has had a one-party government for my entire life.”
The statements made by the presenter and his guests did not sit well with netizens, who called them out online:
“This is inexcusable,” internet users say of Joe Rogan’s anti-Semitic remarks.
When podcaster Joe Rogan made some anti-Semitic remarks on his show recently, he came under fire from online users. Many Twitter users called the event “indefensible” and responded to it. Take a look at some of these tweets:
At the time of writing, neither Rogan nor any of his recent guests have commented on or apologized for the remarks made on the show. Furthermore, the 55-year-old stated a few episodes ago that he had long since stopped “paying attention to the comments” that came in for his show, adding:
“Look, I really like you two. “I just can’t read your s***.”
While social media is already flooded with people demanding that Joe Rogan and the guests apologize, it is unclear how the three will respond to the outrage.
A quick rundown of Joe Rogan’s history with scandals
This isn’t the first time Rogan has gotten into trouble because of publicly stated beliefs; the podcaster has been involved in a number of issues over the course of his years-long career. During one of his podcast episodes last year, he used the N-word repeatedly, prompting widespread condemnation from celebrities and social media users.
Finally, the podcaster, 55, apologized for his remarks. He did, however, claim that the video had been “taken out of context.” He was also recently in the news when it was claimed that Rogan was spreading false information about COVID-19 and vaccinations. As a result, musicians like Neil Young have taken their songs off Spotify.
