Joe Rogan is setting the record straight on his political affiliation˳
The host revealed that he considers himself a Liberal despite claims he’s a Republican on Saturday’s episode of his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience”˳
Speaking with comedian Andrew Schulz about his new special “Infamous”, the conversation turned to Republican Ted Cruz and his strong stance against gay marriage˳
“It’s not just abortion rights, but now they’re going after gay marriage too, which is so strange to me,” Rogan said, referencing Roe v˳ Wade˳ “Gay marriage is not silly˳ It’s marriage — it’s marriage from people that are homosexual and it’s, for them, it’s important˳ They want it˳ They want to affirm their love and their relationship˳”

He continued, “And the fact that they’re going after that now almost makes me feel like they want us to fight˳ They wanna divide us in the best way they can˳ And this is the best way for them to keep pulling off all the bulls-t they’re doing behind the scenes is to get us to fight over things like gay marriage or get us to fight over things like abortion˳ It’s just like, why are you removing freedoms?”
The controversial podcaster added that the homophobic views of the party is what kept him from aligning with them˳
“It’s so homophobic because you’re saying there’s something wrong with being homosexual by saying that you are opposed to gay marriage˳ You’re saying you’re opposed to gay people,” he explained˳ “The fact that they’re going after that now, like that’s the kind of s-t that keeps me from being a Republican˳ It’s only one of the kind of — there’s a bunch of shit that keeps you from being a Republican˳”
Rogan revealed that he only shared similar opinions to Republicans when it came to firearms and supporting the police˳
“People will say like, ‘Oh, you know, you’re a secret conservative˳’ Like you can suck my d-k˳ You don’t know what the f-k you’re talking about˳ I’m so far away from being a Republican,” he said˳ “Just because I believe in the Second Amendment and just because I support the military and just cause I support police˳”
In fact, he strongly believed in social programs to help support those impoverished due to his own upbringing˳

“Like I was on welfare as a kid˳ I think it’s important˳ I think having a social safety net is crucial˳ We should help each other,” Rogen concluded˳ “We’re supposed to be one big community˳ I’m a bleeding heart liberal when it comes to a lot of s-t˳”
The 54-year-old has previously come under fire for platforming controversial views on his show including perpetuating conspiracies about COVID-19 and even taking Ivermectin˳
