Joe Rogan Discloses Controversial Reason for Backing Hillary Clinton: To Show ‘Women Suck at This Too’

Published 03/09/2023, 12:55 AM EST

UFC commentator Joe Rogan has gotten into trouble on more than one occasion for his outlandish comments. Quite recently, he made another one on an episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. This time, he took shots at former US Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

The 55-year-old podcaster is one of the most influential public figures of the modern day. With his show, Rogan discusses several topics, significant and trivial, with experts from various fields. In this respect, JRE serves as a stage of commentary on the issues of contemporary society.

In episode #1952 of the Spotify-owned podcast, Rogan hosted the cultural commentator, author, and fellow podcaster, Michael Malice. The pair discussed a variety of subjects in a conversation that lasted over three and a half hours.

Joe Rogan jokes about Hillary Clinton

About an hour into their discussion, Rogan recalled joking about the 2016 US Presidential elections where Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton competed against each other. In one of the most significant elections in US history, Rogan joked about wanting Clinton to win it for one reason only.

He said, “I joked about it [Trump winning] in my Netflix special in 2016 before the election. People were laughing. I was saying that I hoped Hillary could win.” He continued, “I hoped Hillary won because I wanted them to have a women president so they could say ‘Oh, women suck at this too.’ Everybody sucks at that job.”

Although Rogan was joking here, he once called Hillary Clinton an ‘extremely unlikable woman’ on his podcast.

When Rogan called Clinton ‘unlikeable’

In episode #1869 of JRE, Rogan hosted Dr. Gabor Mate. The pair discussed an incident from Hillary Clinton’s bio that was read out in Morgan Freeman’s voice at the time of her 2016 nomination. Rogan’s guest highlighted an anecdote from the bio where a bullied four-year-old had to deal with it himself without the parents’ help.

Dr. Mate and Rogan both agreed that it was an unhealthy anecdote that bordered on trauma and child abuse. After the guest revealed it was Clinton’s story from her bio, the BJJ black belt labeled it a problem and said, “you look at the end result, you have this extremely unlikable woman.”

Rogan recently got some heat for his comments on NFL star Patrick Mahomes’ wife. Do you think he might get in trouble again for these Clinton remarks?
