Erica Carlin| Joe Rogan of The Joe Rogan Experience warned that America’s legacy of gun violence is a “mental health problem disguised as a gun problem” and that the U.S. government needs to be held in check. Twitter censored a user for sharing a video of him making the statement.
It appears Twitter suspended a user’s account for sharing a clip of Rogan nuking the liberal narrative on gun violence in America. “I wrote this thing once where I said ‘This country has a mental health problem disguised as a gun problem,’ and that’s what it is,” Rogan said.
Rogan warned further that the American government is prone to tyranny, and that surrendering the firearms that keep authoritarianism in check would make it far worse:
“I don’t think it’s wise to take the guns away from the people and leave all the power to the government. We see how they are even with an armed populace. They still have a tendency towards totalitarianism, and the more increased power and control you have over people, the easier it is for them to do what they do, and there’s a natural inclination when you are a person in power to try to hold more power and acquire more power, and it’s never–there’s never an inclination to give more power back to the people, to give more freedoms back to the people.”
That was it… Rogan shared a very honest post about mental health being the real issue with mass shootings and that’s all it took for Twitter to ban his video.
In the same show, not banned on Twitter—was a segment where Rogan was shocked at the support he’s received from the right.
“I am not a conservative, I’m not conservative,” he repeats, as if to reassure himself. Really? How many liberals have interviewed Alex Jones multiple times, Joe?
Rogan slammed the left for being a bunch of radicals but then went on to talk about all of his conservative views. I think it seems like Rogan is either confused or slowly coming out of the political closet—so to speak. What do you think?
