Unfortunately, it looks like Joe Rogan has joined the band of grifting podcasters trying (unsuccessfully) to sow division in the MAGA movement.
On a recent podcast episode, Joe Rogan said that the phrase ‘Make America Great Again’ sucks and that the movement is made up of “a bunch of dorks.”
He then clarified that he believes MAGA is made up of some genuine patriots, but also a lot of “really weird, f*cking uninteresting, unintelligent people.”
Watch the original clip for yourself here:
Joe Rogan says there are “a lot of dorks” in MAGA:

Today, Vice President JD Vance responded to Rogan’s claims about MAGA.
During an interview with Benny Johnson, Vance laughed and said that the right has “far fewer dorks than the left. But we love our dorks!”
He also took time to respond to Rogan saying that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were better at deportations than President Trump — which, as Vance explained, is a completely ignorant and false argument.
Watch Vance’s full response here:

Vice President JD Vance PUNCHES BACK at Joe Rogan for Calling MAGA ‘Dorks’
“Far fewer dorks than the far-left. But we love our dorks. We love our cool kids. We just want to save the country”
Vance Also HIT BACK at Joe Rogan for Claiming Obama And Hillary Were ‘Better At Deporting Illegals’ Than Trump:
“Joe Is WRONG On This. I’m going to text Joe, because that is definitely wrong.”
“The Obama Administration counted turning people away when they showed up at the border as a deportation.
We have almost NOBODY showing up at the border.
Joe is wrong on this. We have been the best administration in American History at deporting illegal aliens”
Joe Rogan has had a lot of good things to say over the years.
But, turning against MAGA and calling everyone in it “dorks” while arguing that Obama did a better job on immigration is very out-of-touch and frankly, dumb.
I think VP Vance did a great job responding to Rogan’s uneducated take.
The MAGA movement is for everyone who truly loves America and wants to make it the best place in the world for generations to come!
If that’s dorky, so be it!
Many MAGA patriots agree with what Vance had to say:
Better to be a dork, than a blue haired multi gender loser

JD Vance is showing exactly why the MAGA movement is so strong. It’s a for anyone who loves this country. Whether you’re a “dork” or a “cool kid,” if you want to save America.

Imagine thinking patriotism is dorky. MAGA’s dorks actually work, vote and save the country.
