Amid calls for “The Joe Rogan Experience” to be pulled from Spotify, Donald Trump Jr. has taken to Twitter to warn followers about the threat posed by a so-called “leftist elite.”
“Stand with @joerogan or it will only be a matter of time before they leftist elite come for you or your loved ones for not complying with their desires,” he wrote on Twitter.
As Deadline notes, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson previously praised Joe Rogan’s no-nonsense, so-called truth telling. However, following the release of a video that shows Rogan using racist language, the actor later admitted, “I was not aware of his N-word use before my comments, but now I’ve become educated to his complete narrative. Learning moment for me.” Rogan apologized for using the racial slur repeatedly in recently-resurfaced footage, acknowledging, “It looks f*****g horrible. Even to me.”
Trump Jr. was roasted in the responses to his tweet, with some accusing the son of the former president of rampant hypocrisy regarding his stance on so-called cancel culture, pointing out that his father publicly denounced Colin Kaepernick for taking a knee in response to police violence against Black people. Likewise, several people pointed to how Rogan only recently changed his tune on vaccines, having widely supported them only a couple years ago.
