Joe Rogan was a Bernie Sanders supporter who said he didn’t vote for Donald Trump. Despite his claims, Rogan certainly does a lot of right-wing dirty work. Over the last year, the podcaster has been maligned for regularly pushing COVID misinformation.
And Rogan has also gotten behind another MAGA talking point; that teachers are groomers. During a recent broadcast, Young Turks host Cenk Uygur slammed Rogan for pushing that theory.
Rogan had claimed, “I mean, constantly, teachers are getting arrested. For exposing themselves to children, for masturbating in front of children, for sending nude pictures in front of children. Every couple days there’s a new one that pops up in the news. And how many of those people are out there? And how many of those people are doing it under the guise of “I’m an LGBTQ educator!’”
Uygur countered:
“Do they, Joe? Do they? Show me one story where that happened. When a teacher masturbated in front of the class and they said ‘It’s ok, I’m LGBTQ’ and they weren’t fired! And they said ‘It’s ok, he’s LGBTQ!’ Show me one story, you f’ing liar! That never ever happened. By the way I know for a fact that the great majority of the pedophiles, whether they are in the schools or not and in the churches, are straight.”
