Caitlyn Jenner Supports Noted Transphobe Joe Rogan, Who Mocked Her

Failed politician Caitlyn Jenner has voiced her support for Joe Rogan, the controversial host of a Spotify podcast.

Rogan's podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, initially drew criticism due to rampant misinformation being spread about the ongoing viral pandemic. Rogan had often used racist slurs, called a movie theater in a Black Philadelphia neighborhood a "planet of the apes," and frequently endorsed and spewed transphobic rhetoric.

While he apologized for his racism, Rogan has not made similar statements about his transphobia. On multiple episodes, Rogan has stated or implied that the acceptance of trans people is a sign of societal collapse. He's also been blatantly transphobic toward specific individuals like MMA fighter Fallon Fox and repeatedly used anti-trans slurs after acknowledging that he shouldn't. In 2020 on an episode of his podcast, Rogan mocked Jenner for going through gender-confirmation surgery. "We're in la la land," he said of her in a July 16, 2020 episode.

On Friday, Jenner, who received 1 percent of the vote in 2021's California gubernatorial recall election, tweeted in support of Rogan. "Bye bye Leftover hippies from the 60's boycotting Joe Rogan on Spotify," she wrote.
"Nobody will miss you. Thank you Spotify for standing up for Rogan!"
