I'm pretty sure he said he'd do the debate on one of his YT shows but I can't remember who, and he was probably stoned at the time.
The quote was stupid to say but I'm not a big fan of cancel culture and I don't agree with canceling Rogan for saying something stupid. This is a guy who gives Alex Jones mainstream air time. This is a guy who gave Abilgail Shrier air time when literally everyone else shunned her. A man who talks as much as Rogan is going to say something stupid from time to time. If he has a guest who called him on it he would probably retract it.
That’s exactly it though. He said something on his show about Sanders and the next thing you know Bernie’s running ads that Rogan endorsed him. The blowback spooked him. He’s also been spooked by the “alt right adjacent” label some fags branded him with so he definitely tones it down.
I am in total agreement that he’s to be commended for giving extended air time to some of the people he does. I just think he is far from genuine in his public stances. In this day and age I don’t think anybody should be surprised by that. It’s far too dangerous to be yourself if you want to work and not look over your shoulder constantly.
