Joe Rogan¡¯s past comments return to haunt him
Joe Rogan has emerged a force to reckon with because of the Joe Rogan Experience , most-followed podcast on Spotify. He frequently interviews celebrities on it and shares his bold opinions on issues such as science and philosophy. He has now landed in an awkward situation as old videos of him opposing Donald Trump and his policies have surfaced on social media. In the videos, which were recently reshared on X (formerly known as Twitter) by YouTuber Kyle Kulinski, Joe Rogan called Barack Obama the ¡°best President we have had in our lifetime¡±.

He also endorses Brenie Sanders and Kamala Harris. Joe Rogan further called Trump ¡°dangerous¡± and highlighted that he has never voted for the right wing. He went on to oppose Trump's policies regarding immigration. Unsurprisingly, the clip went viral and received 1.3 million views in no time. Mehdi Hasan, a progressive commentator, also shared the clip and this helped it get more mileage.
Interestingly, the video was first posted on on X in 2022
The timing could not have been worse
