Joe Rogan: “The idea that Jews don’t like money is ridiculous”
The controversial podcast host managed to stir up a stir again when he said things on the latest episode of his show, leading the American League’s CEO to respond: “Rogan is using his massive platform to spread anti-Semitism.”
“The idea that Jews don’t like money or aren’t into it is just ridiculous. It’s like saying Italians aren’t into pizza,” he said on the last episode of his popular podcast Joe Rogan. During the episode, media personalities Crystal Ball and Saar Anjati, who themselves host a successful podcast called Breaking Points, were guests. When during the recording, the three talked about the Muslim Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who was removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee of the American House of Representatives at the beginning of the month due to her anti-Semitic statements.
Omar often writes on her Twitter page her views against Israel’s policy towards the Palestinians, since then she has indeed apologized for the words and said: “I am grateful to my Jewish colleagues and allies, who teach me about the painful history of anti-Semitic images”, but she was still removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee.
Now, Rogen showed support for Omar, saying: “She apologizes for speaking. It’s all about money. I don’t think it’s an anti-Semitic statement, it’s money.” As mentioned, the words of the podcast host caused the CEO of the league Jonathan Greenblatt to respond, when he wrote on his Twitter page: “It is very disturbing that in a time like this one of rising anti-Semitism, when more and more Americans believe in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, Joe Rogan uses his tremendous platform To spread anti-Semitic propaganda about Jews and money.’
