Joe Rogan on Joe Biden: ‘Trump is going to eat him alive’
Podcast host and comedian Joe Rogan hit former Vice President Joe Biden on Friday, declaring President Trump was “going to eat him alive” in a potential general election matchup.
The comments from Rogan, a controversial supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), comes as Democrats grow increasingly anxious that Biden is losing ground to Trump as the nation deals with an unprecedented national crisis in the coronavirus pandemic.
Sanders is charging forward with his presidential campaign even as Biden has accumulated a nearly insurmountable lead over the progressive senator.
“You have to be able call out shit that’s wrong on your side,” Rogan said, according to a video with a segment of his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
“And this is one of the problems that the Democratic Party is having right now with this Joe Biden guy,” he added. “You guys got to be able to call it out. You can’t let this slide, because everybody else sees it and Trump is going to eat him alive. He’s going to eat that guy alive.”
“The guy can barely remember what he’s talking about while he’s talking,” Rogan contended, at one point playing a montage of Biden’s gaffes in recent weeks.
Rogan has come under heavy fire for past comments insulting a range of groups, including the transgender community and African Americans.
Progressive group MoveOn in January called on Sanders to renounce the endorsement by Rogan, pointing to the comedian’s past comments on the transgender community and people of color.
The president of the Human Rights Campaign also called on Sanders to renounce Rogan’s endorsement.
