Joe Rogan is taking back his support of socialist Democrat Bernie Sanders, citing the 2016 presidential primaries that were allegedly ‘rigged’ by Democrats to favor Hillary Clinton.
“That was the first time that I ever got attacked, when I had Bernie on,” Rogan recalled during his podcast on Wednesday.
“Someone was on the podcast, and they said, ‘Who are you going to vote for?’… and I said, ‘If I was going to vote for anybody, I’d probably vote for Bernie. He’s the one who makes the most sense. He’s the only guy who’s like anti-war; he wants to take a small amount of money from stock market speculation and use that to fund a bunch of these social programs.’ I’m like, ‘let’s see!’”
He went on to explain why his opinion has changed.
“This was a long time ago; I don’t necessarily think that I would feel the same way anymore about him,” Rogan continued. “One of the reasons being he kind of gave in to the Democratic establishment; he let them run him over during that whole thing with Hillary where they rigged the primary.”
“He let them get away with stuff, when I think he should’ve put his foot down and said, ‘This is f*cked up. You guys are rigging the primary.’”

Rogan also said the problems in America aren’t “left-wing, right-wing”, but rather between “rational and insane.”
He took another trip down memory lane, recalling all the “woke nonsense” Americans were subjected to during the Biden regime.
“All the woke nonsense forcing you to use pronouns and forcing you to never deadname someone or you get kicked off of Twitter for life. There was so much insanity that we needed some sort of a break moving away from that,” Rogan continued.
“Obviously Biden was not really the president for four years. So the people that were all running the country will continue to be running the country. These non-elected people. It wouldn’t be him. And then when she’s in, it would be the same f*cking people. Be the same people.”

Forcing people to get vaccinated was INSANE. All that stuff was INSANE. That stuff scared the sh*t out of me. The… pic.twitter.com/1h5sdQTymp

Americans have a choice with the upcoming midterms: whether we continue to kick and climb our way out of the “woke nonsense,” or dive back in.
