He's given platform to Ngo, McInness, Jones, Yannapolis, Shapiro and more and mixed them right in with the legitimate scientist/thinkers and famous actors. Pushing their bullshit out to MILLIONS of listeners many of which are easily susceptible to such ideas. He's basically the Youtube algorithm.
The whole set-up is perfect: Do you like basically anything (comedy, mma, sports, drugs, movies, science, conspiracies, etc)? You do?! Well, try a little white supremacy just to see how it fits! See, they aren't so bad! Then, if you watch his show on Youtube you get all kinds of alt-right/alt-light/incel suggested to you.
People forget Rogan was a guest on his friend of 20 years, Alex Jones' show (along w/ his comedy buddy and co-star of FX's 'Dave' Andrew Santino) just over a year ago. 6 months later people are clambering over who he is going to vote for? They were surprised when he outright refused to have Elizabeth Warren or Joe Biden on his show while he has continually brought on the who's who of the alt-right?
Shit, Rogan acolyte and comedian Theo Von had Tommie Lahren on his show two months back. Prior to that, he's had fellow Rogan guests right-wing uber-mensch Jocko Willink and alt-light intellectual heavyweight Jordan Peterson. Theo Von also did a multiple week bracket on who would win if the states fought each other on his podcast late last year.
I also agree on the UFC, Jacare and his two cornermen tested positive late yesterday. I wasn't even excited about this card and honestly, I hope it becomes a disaster. I stopped paying for any of their product after White showed up at the RNC. I can do a whole other piece about racism/white supremacy in the UFC and its fandom but I'll spare you.
