Podcaster Joe Rogan responded Tuesday to a video compilation of him saying the N-word, describing the release of the video as a “political hit job” designed to cancel his show.
Speaking with his guest, Rogan said: “In a lot of ways, all this is a relief, ’cause that video had always been out there. It’s like, this is a political hit job. And so they’re taking all this stuff that I’ve ever said that’s wrong, and smushing it all together. But it’s good ’cause it makes me address some [expletive] that I really wish wasn’t out there.”
