(Washington Examiner) Podcast host Joe Rogan slammed Jimmy Kimmel for perpetuating “leftist” influences that are killing comedy.
“The problem with that kind of stuff is it continues to go in the same direction where more and more things become forbidden and toxic,” Rogan said during a recent episode of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience.
Rogan gave the example of Kimmel’s response to Twitter CEO Elon Musk’s recent joke about his pronouns being “prosecute/Fauci.”

“Jimmy Kimmel made a tweet back to him, he said, ‘your pronouns are a** and hole,’ which is pretty funny,” Rogan said. “And so then I read that, and there’s people saying, ‘Please don’t joke about pronouns. It’s transphobic to joke about pronouns.’”

“He’s had a real problem with Elon from the beginning of this, but it’s like he’s in this leftist thought bubble — he’s in the most leftist thought bubble available, which is Hollywood,” Rogan added. “And you know, I think also, you know, he famously — there’s some videos of him in blackface, and those came out and he had apologized for them. And I think he took that hit and like really doubled down the other direction.”
Joe Rogan explains the woke mind virus perfectly: Elon Musk makes a joke using pronouns. Jimmy Kimmel retaliates and gets accused of transphobia. Jimmy Kimmel has a history of blackface and misogyny. But he’s desperate to protect his place in Hollywood. That’s how this works. pic.twitter.com/qXnLJVD91M
