Joe Rogan Continues Defending Himself Amidst N-Word Controversy

UFC commentator Joe Rogan has faced a lot of trials and tribulations throughout his career. He also has one of the most popular podcasts on Spotify. Rogan recently blasted those who believed Conor McGregor’s career in UFC was finished. His controversial take on the pandemic is also newsworthy at times.

Joe Rogan revealed that he tested positive for COVID-19 and used a controversial farm animal drug to treat it. Ivermectin is a livestock dewormer drug that the CDC and the FDA have specifically warned against as a remedy to battle COVID-19.

Joe Rogan even had a bizarre heated discussion regarding COVID-19 vaccines with CNN’s Sanjay Gupta last year. Recently, Joe Rogan was also called out by doctors for spreading misinformation as many wanted him to be censored for good.

Joe Rogan recently claimed that he never used the n-word to be racist after getting blasted by numerous fans and celebrities alike. Even the CEO of Spotify condemned him for his racist comments.

Rogan took to his podcast and addressed the controversy yet again, where he laid the blame on being biased and stated that silencing him is not the answer.

“The answer is not to silence me. The answer is [to] you to do better. The answer is for you to have better arguments.

I think Ivermectin is one of the things that I took that did something but I think monoclonal antibodies was the big one and that’s the stuff that got [Donald] Trump in four days, [and] he wasn’t taking Ivermectin. I think there’s something legitimately, really beneficial about monoclonal antibodies that has been proven but yet they pulled them… Why don’t they discuss that?”

Joe Rogan previously threatened to sue CNN for calling Ivermectin “horse dewormer.” Rogan had also claimed that he got better after taking Ivermectin. However, perhaps it is better to take his opinion with a grain of salt and not treat COVID-19 in the same way he did.
