Joe Rogan Decries Celebrations of Charlie Kirk’s Killing

He says praise for the shooting by self-identified progressives reflects a warped online culture.

Overview

  • On Tuesday’s episode of his podcast, Rogan said the reaction to Kirk’s murder “opened up my eyes” because so many people appeared to cheer the killing.
  • He described the celebrants as “normal people,” including housewives, moms, and bank employees, and asked, “what the f*ck is wrong with us?”
  • Guest Brandon Coleman of The Red Clay Strays condemned the response as “evil” and said he does not want to see anyone die.
  • Rogan argued that people who present themselves as compassionate progressives were applauding gun violence and what he called a “public execution.”
  • Kirk, 31, was shot and killed last month at a Utah Valley University event, and some liberals posted celebratory messages on social media with many later fired for those posts, according to Mediaite.
