In what is becoming a concerning trend from the world’s most popular podcast host, Joe Rogan, the superbly successful personality stuck up for disgraced rapper Kanye West, who has made numerous blatantly antisemitic comments and even said that he loves Hitler.
“He’s too talented. I don’t think he’s a bad person. I think Kanye — the mistakes that he’s made, I think he’s — he’ll be pretty honest about it,” Rogan said.
“He’s mentally ill. And that mental illness allows him to have insane productivity with music. I mean, you can call it illness or you could instead say he’s got this gift and this gift sometimes… shoots off live rounds in all sorts of different directions. But what it can do is produce some of the best… music ever and… amazing jams,” Rogan added.
“Kanye had some bangers. Like that mind that creates those bangers also says crazy [stuff] about Hitler,” Rogan laughed.
“Kanye, what are you doing? Why would you say that?” Johnson said.
“That’s the same mind that makes him be insanely prolific. That’s the same mind that has like this genius association to sound in music,” Rogan said.
“He doesn’t have a place to blow it off anymore, you know, which I also think is not good,” Rogan added, protesting that West has been kicked off social media platforms.
“I think it’s probably better to just let him say ridiculous [stuff] on Twitter and let people refute it. You know? I don’t think it’s a good — you know, I don’t think it’s a good move to eliminate a guy like that from being able to communicate. I don’t think that’s the problem.”
Rogan was accused of peddling antisemitism just a day prior when he defended Rep. Ilhan Omar’s antisemitic comments and compared Jews liking money to Italians liking pizza.

Allowing him to spew hatred on social media because people can refute it is equal to giving him a gun to shoot innocent people, because they can shoot back…
This Bernie Sanders supporter is obviously an antisemite. What’s so hard to figure out?
Anyone with half a brain is not surprised by this
He just really wants to retire so bad
Fake news as usual…just trying to grab clicks like CNN
Kayne West much different than Ilhan…totally different ball game….one on the spectrum whose mouth just rattles on and the other a true and evil bad guy……Ilhan, should be shipped and returned to sender.
