I got laid off from Media Matters @mmfa today, proud of the 5 years of intense work I put into fighting right-wing hatred.
I'm an incredible manager with superb research skills. Please hire me!
I'm seeing a lot of Joe Rogan's worst comments from the 2010s circulating. I get paid to listen to his podcast @mmfa & want to remind people that he hasn't changed.
Here are some of the most hateful things Joe has said in the past year and a half. THREAD/
Spotify’s Joe Rogan encourages "healthy" young people not to get a coronavirus vaccine. His show is Spotify's most popular podcast.
“If you're like 21 years old, and you say to me, should I get vaccinated? I'll go no.”
In the past 3 weeks, Fox News has aired 170 segments about the trans community, incessantly lying that trans people pose a threat to children and seek to groom them.
24/7 vile, dangerous hatred from the most popular cable news network in the U.S.
On Joe Rogan's Spotify podcast -- Jordan Peterson claims Michael Eric Dyson is "not Black"
Rogan replies: "Unless you are talking to someone who is like 100% African from the darkest place where they are not wearing any clothes all day ... the term Black is weird."
October 2021, Rogan and his guest made fun of people with "Asian accents" then said people who think that is offensive are "retarded."
Rogan added, "But I'm on Spotify, you can get away with it."
In January, Rogan denigrated Angelina Jolie for developing Bell's palsy saying, “There's a rule. Crazy pussy is the best pussy. … She’s clearly crazy.”
He added, "That’s the problem with crazy is crazy comes with all sorts of neurotic shit."
August 2021, Rogan claimed some trans people aren't actually trans -- "they are just latching on to this need to get attention, or to be special, ... and to be a victim."
He then agreed with his guest's use of an anti-trans slur, saying "QAnon is just like conservative t-----s"
July 2021, Rogan claimed that journalist Lauren Sanchez (Jeff Bezo's gf) is an “alpha predator female” and agreed with his guest’s claim that her “puss puss is probably incredible because girls like that, you got to respect they know that that’s their job.”
