Joe Rogan is once again calling out the political and media establishment, this time over the lack of accountability for the years-long Russiagate narrative that was used to undermine President Donald Trump and his agenda.
During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience with comedian Tony Hinchliffe, Rogan blasted the political-media class for escaping any real consequences for promoting what turned out to be a baseless collusion storyline, as reported by Gateway Pundit. His comments reflect a growing frustration on the right with a media ecosystem that relentlessly pushed the Russia hoax, only to move on without admitting fault or facing professional repercussions.
Rogan did not mince words about the scandal and the people who drove it. The fact that no one got in trouble for all that Russiagate stuff he said, prompting Hinchliffe to respond, Crazy. Absolutely crazy!
Rogan went on to highlight the absurdity of the same pundits and anchors still being treated as credible voices. And that they still listenthat the same people that were pushing that Russiagate sh*t aretheyre still giving opinions on TV, he said, before exclaiming, Its NUTS!
Hinchliffe underscored the lack of accountability that has become a hallmark of the corporate press. Yeah, there is no repercussions to be found. They get to say whatever they want. Its crazy, he observed, capturing what many conservatives have argued for years.
Rogan suggested that while the media elite may have kept their jobs, they have paid a different kind of price. Well, the repercussion is no one takes them seriously. And thats real, theyve suffered that, he said, adding, I mean, weve seen that in real time. And I think the pandemic was the bigthat was the big wakeup call for a lot of people.
He pointed specifically to Americans who felt coerced into taking the COVID vaccine to keep their jobs, travel, or protect loved ones. Especially people that were forced to take the vaccine because they had jobs or they had to fly or they had family members, Rogan said, noting, And then they got some horrible side effect.
According to Rogan, that experience shattered trust in institutions for many ordinary citizens. And those people got what they call red-pilled, I know a lot of people that got red-pilled from that, he explained, suggesting that both Russiagate and the pandemic response exposed the lefts willingness to weaponize narratives.
The deeper concern for many on the right is that, because no one in media, politics, or the bureaucracy was held to account for Russiagate, the playbook will simply be reused. It may not be Russia next time, but the same smear tactics could easily be deployed against the next serious conservative threat to the lefts powerwhether that is JD Vance, Marco Rubio, or any other Republican who dares to challenge the entrenched establishment.
