What's with you guys and not being able to meet criticism head on? Why do you always have to what about? And yes, I do. Charlemagne is also someone who platforms dangerous idiots (ex: Umar Johnson and "Dr." Amun Neb). You can check my post history on here if you don't believe I've talked about him as well.

Anyway, I think you're confused. My hangup isn't necessarily with Bernie appearing on his show or with Rogan endorsing him. It's with his campaign giving extra value to that endorsement. It's with people whitewashing who Rogan really is. And with people - even in this thread - minimizing the concerns of transgender folks. I also don't believe this is suddenly going to wake up his listeners.

Rogan is not above lying. I mean, he propagated the Seth Rich conspiracy. It also doesn't fit for the reasons I stated above.

Also:

A spokesperson for the Biden campaign denied that the former vice president had sought an appearance on Rogan's show. A Warren campaign aide didn't know of any attempts to get her on the show. Buttigieg's campaign has not responded to request for comment.
This story has been updated with comments from MoveOn and Joe Biden.

You made the claim that Warren was morally above going on a show like Rogan’s. How is a counter example of her going on a compromised platform not relevant?

Maybe you didn't see my first post or maybe I just need to say it again. This site is pretty transphobic, like easily comparable if not worse than what Rogan said. There is more than ample opportunity to make inroads on that front right here. From reading through some threads I have seen you, @Pressure and @Ya' Cousin Cleon make a few pro trans comments so I will give you three credit. But there are others who are making these claims politically expediently.

@śïñe•qúå_nøn makes a few appearances in here.

There's plenty to go at Rogan at on racial issues and platforming alt-right people don't need to act like this is a cornerstone issue for them when it was not.

Secondly, we are coming off of a week of Joe Biden lying about things he is on camera saying.

And Warren plagiarized recipes for that pow wow chow cook book.

Given the outrage after the Bernie endorsement those two would have every incentive to deny wanting to go on the show.

I don't trust any of the three of them, but Rogan has the least incentive to lie here because his comments were made before the outrage began. That is what makes the most sense to me. They are politicians who wanted to go on the largest platform at a time there was little risk in doing so and when the risk became high they distanced themselves. Also, Warren's aide didn't even deny, just said "wasn't aware".

In the grand scheme of this it's still fucc Rogan but that is the way I see what transpired here.
