Joe Rogan defends Kimmel and tells conservatives supporting censorship: 'Oh my God, you're crazy' [View all]

Right-leaning podcaster Joe Rogan has chimed in on the suspension of late night host Jimmy Kimmel amid pressure from the Trump administration, saying the government should not determine what comedians say and that conservatives were “crazy” to support any such interference.

Disney’s ABC last week took Jimmy Kimmel’s late night talk show off the air over his comments about the suspected killer of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. But his show returned on Tuesday night, ending a nearly weeklong standoff that has raised questions about free speech and the First Amendment.

Rogan was an influential supporter of President Donald Trump during the 2024 campaign.

“I definitely don’t think that the government should be involved ever in dictating what a comedian can or cannot say in a monologue,” Rogan said on his podcast.

He said that if such interference were really happening and conservatives were supporting such behavior they were “crazy” because eventually they themselves would be the target of such censorship.

He knows he cold be next. He's criticized the orange shitgibbon on occasion himself---not often, but he has. So take your support where you can!
