Rogan's Bernie Endorsement Draws Outrage As Clip Surfaces Comparing Black Neighborhood to 'Planet of

the Apes'


https://www.mediaite.com/politics/joe-rogans-bernie-endorsement-draws-outrage-as-clip-surfaces-comparing-black-neighborhood-to-planet-of-the-apes/


As social media blowback builds from some over Independent Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ decision to promote a video of comic and podcast host Joe Rogan endorsing his candidacy for president, an old clip featuring Rogan comparing a black neighborhood with the fictional Planet of the Apes has surfaced.

-snip-

In addition, a clip of a 2013 Rogan podcast has begun to circulate, in which he talks about going to see a Planet of the Apes movie in a black neighborhood. He tells his co-hosts that the driver assured him that the film was playing in a “good neighborhood.”

“We get out, we’re giggling, ‘We’re going to go see Planet of the Apes,’ We walk in to Planet of the Apes. We walked into Africa,” Rogan says in the clip.

But the fuller context of the video is no better.

And I'd thought the biggest problems with the Rogan endorsement were that Rogan had previously endorsed Ron Paul and Gary Johnson for president, in 2012 and 2016, and urged Tulsi Gabbard to run for president.

And Bernie are like two sides of the same coin. They will both say good things about anyone who praises them, no matter how awful that person is.

How do people not see these things? Why does anyone want to go down this road?

He has worked with all the big name rat fucking Republicans including Alex Jones. Sander should not and will not be our nominee.

"Rogan, whether he is aware of it or not, is promoting alt-right figures and their ideology through his podcast. His list of guests include Alex Jones, Milos Yiannopoulos and Steven Crowder, all of whom have espoused rhetoric that is factually inaccurate and who deliberately instill fear or hatred for their own benefit.

Rogan disclosed his fondness for Alex Jones in a discussion with Steven Crowder by saying he is an interesting and entertaining person. This description is a seal of approval to a man who actively promotes theories that tragedies such as Sandy Hook and the Las Vegas shooting are false flag operations by the United States government in order to hoodwink his audience into buying marked up products sold directly by Jones himself, as seen in John Oliver’s piece about his methods. "

You picked a winner Bernie.

--the campaign has no control over who endorses the candidate, after all--but for the campaign to *tout* the endorsement is another thing altogether
